One can't help but feel pity for all the money and resources that has gone down the drain to shape up this awful film. The entire crew & cast enjoyed a royal holiday overseas under the garb of production costs. The director cleverly puts a disclaimer at the very start of the movie that "Housefull" is a tribute to the directors of 70's & 80's hinting the staleness of the product. The saving grace of the movie is the music. SEL have backed up the product with foot tapping numbers. Background score by Sandeep Chowta is okay'ish. The comedy sequences are completely out of place. And the climax scene which everybody panned - its a straight lift from Charlie Chaplin's "Laughing Gas" only Sajid Khan raped it. Performances::Akshay Kumar:: In a desperate attempt to deliver a hit, his performance is sinking faster than titanic.Ritesh Deshmukh:: Consistent as ever. Did not have much comedy sequences where he could deliver and showcase his talents.Arjun Rampal:: No good in comedy and his characterisation was awful especially his polygraph machine.Lara:: Miscast opposite Ritesh.Jiah Khan:: The Jekyll and Hyde was badly written. Deepika:: Only beautiful looks.Chunky Pande: Was irritating in his Aakhree Raasta character.Boman Irani, Lilette Dubey & Randhir Kapoor:: WastedIf making a slapstick comedy was the intent then Sajid Khan should learn a lot of things from Hollywood. There exists a genre of slapstick & no brainers delivers complete wholesome entertainment. "Housefull" is a by- product of success-gone-over-the-head when a garbage like "Hey Baby" becomes a hit and the director goes on to make yet another bigger garbage. Nadiadwala & Eros, are you listening?

Housefull brings back the Heyy Babyy team. The result is a Housefull. Though it is not a very great laugh riot like previous Akshay's films like Hera Pheri, Singh is Kinng, but still better then some of his recent films like De Dana Dan, Kambakhat Ishq. The story in first half is little slow while developing the character of Arush. But the second half is fast moving with lots of humor. The end could have been better.Still I would say Go & watch this movie you are sure to come out with a smile on your face. After series of low-budget drama movies that released this year Housefull is much awaited relief to comic fans. Ritesh, Lara, Deepika, Boman are all looking fabulous, plus after long time Chunk Pandey in great form as Akhiri Pasta. Music is OK while 'Apni toh Jaise taise' is the best track of the movie.

This movie is a "Suchcha" Looser, with all possible non-actings provided by the "horniest" faces of Bollywood, and the horniest and most "richly cheapest" and most vulgar director in the industry to lead them all! It's so obscene and vulgar throughout that i wish it was an official B-Grade movie and i could give a deserved opinion. Akshay Kumar provides you with his genuine, genius cheapness and the fakest of expressions. I just wonder 'how he does it!!' He is such an actor! I really respect him! But wish he uses his talent for some thing good, at least sometime in his career in future! Reitesh Desmukh does a decent job along with Boman Irani, who are the most watchable characters in the movie, Boman specially. Arjun Rampal looks like an alien in the movie! Jiah Khan had much more screen time than i expected, and is a deserved cast for this movie(i like her)! And i think the director could have had some screen time himself as well, as one more animal. And Jacquiline...ahhh!The music was phenomenal, i should say, especially "I don't Know what to do" and "Suchcha Looser". But i know, in the end people are going to like this movie and it's gonna come out a "Winner".

Hey! what does the director think of the Indian people. This movie is not just ridiculous,its a waste of money and time. Half the movie is a ripped Desi version of Heartbreak kid but not even half as humorous. The other half swings between slapstick comedy and senseless banter. The character who was most believable was Arjun Rampal- good job in a seriously bad movie. Boman Irani and Lillette Dubey have been underplayed (Director please explain???) Their little affair could have been made hilarious.All in all a very average movie, not really a comedy - made me smile a couple of times in the entire movie. You come out of the multiplex with a feeling of a poor blend of funny scenes from a dozen movies put together in no particular sequence and a bit of a heavy head.Sajid khan must learn direction from his much more talented sister Farah Khan :).
