This movie was an excellent sequel to HOUSEFULL (2010) with the same cast Akshay, Boman Irani, Chunky Pandey, Randhir Kapoor, Ritesh DeshmukhThis movie is just like the first with confusions and tricking people This is the first film of brothers Rishi Kapoor and Randhir Kapoor paired for the first time It has also been 25 years since Rishi and Mithun were last seen on the silver screen.Akshay and Asin are the best hero and heroine out of the film but you have expectations from a multi-starer Ritesh Deshmukh is funny Shreyas Talpade is alright Mithun, Rishi, Randhir have done extremely well The actress can get confused apart from Jacqueline Fernandez Johny Lever, Chunky Pandey, Ranjeet have done well

It is obvious that you are not supposed to watch Sajid Khan kind of cinema with your thinking caps on. So this has to be the first requisite to watch HOUSEFULL 2 which as expected is a loud, bizarre and over the top comedy movie full of many silly & wacky sequences. Frankly HF1 was pretty lousy film which failed to raise much laughter or interest even with a huge star-cast. But HF2 is a much better attempt from the director Sajid Khan having more humorous segments distributed evenly, well supported by some good performances.However, Sajid's basic formula of making it remains the same, wherein more than a dozen characters are put together creating funny confusions with each other about their actual identities. The presentation and characterization makes the film more likable with a much better climax as compared to the pathetic end of its part one.The story revolves around 4 fathers, their 4 daughters, four sons-in- laws and their other family members or friends leading to a lot of messy confusion happening within one big mansion. The first half gives you enough enjoyable moments to keep you engrossed and the viewers looking for such kind of entertainment are sure going to like it. As a director's trademark the film has some silly comedy scenes with a crocodile and python. But luckily the crocodile works many times better than the monkey used in Houseful-1.Post intermission it takes a negative turn as it features less comedy and more avoidable drama involving characters other than the lead. Several jokes and one liners don't work and fail to create the fun as seen in the first half. Actually it's the over length of the movie and few un-required songs which bring in many uninteresting moments in its script and lessen the overall impact on the viewer. The second half has got many such unwanted sequences which should have been edited out completely as they contribute nothing in its basic storyline. For instance, Vindoo's track with a long fight sequence and the plan of creating tension between Boman and Mithun falls flat without generating any kind of laughter.Truly speaking, this time the jokes work majorly due to the witty dialogues of the script written amusingly. The entertaining confusion over the real "Jolly" works well along with the hugely catchy "Ranjeet Expression"given by Akshay Kumar throughout the film. Though the climax is a little over stretched but still it gives you enough moments to laugh and doesn't make you restless. I suppose Sajid learned a good lesson from the mistake made in the climax of HF-1.The songs as usual are deliberately inserted including the hit item number "Anarkali". In fact, the film would have been fine with only one track "Pappa To Band Bajaaye" coming repeatedly in its various segments. But since we have to sell a soundtrack of the film too so the viewers are made to see many other songs adding to its long length. Performance wise it is an Akshay Kumar film all together as the actor gets it perfectly right after a long gap. Particularly his "Ranjeet Expression" is sure going to become a craze among his fans and all Bollywood lovers living worldwide. So it's really party time for all Akshay fans. John & Akshay teaming up again after "Garam Masala" and "Desi Boyz", put up a much polished show this time. John's comic timing has improved significantly but he still needs to work more to match it with Akshay. Ritesh once again gives an immensely lovable performance not going over the top even while giving all those silly facial expressions. He is really great as the real Jolly. Among the boys,Shreyas gets the minimum mileage in his role and so does his lady love Shazahn. Yet the boy strongly proves that he has really mastered the act of comedy in his limited scenes.The brand "Housefull" is now known for using its leading ladies as mere showpieces in some revealing outfits. So the girls are there to serve the said purpose only as the glamour dolls in the project. But Houseful 2 also proves that if a heroine says no for Bikinis then you cannot make them wear it forcefully. Unlike HF1 in this second part, only Shazahn endorses the famous bikini act whereas Asin, Zarine & even Jacquelin stay away. Malaika Khan sizzles on the screen as "Anarkali" in the song but the same cannot be said for her interactive scenes.In the supporting cast, it was great watching two Kapoor brothers, Rishi & Randhir working together and I even loved Akshay calling Randhir Kapoor as "Ponga Pandit" which was the name of his hit movie released in the mid seventies. Both Mithun & Boman enter only in the second half of the movie with some marginally good scenes. But their flashback story hinders the pace and could have been easily taken out. Johny Lever and Chunky Pandey are simply superb with Chunky taking the maximum marks once again.Now revealing the best part of the movie, it is the one scene cameo of the one and only "Official Rapist of Bollywood" – Ranjeet, shining brightly in his same old famous nostalgic cunning style. And this particular scene featuring both Ranjeet & Akshay Kumar posing as Father & Son is the must watch highlight of the movie which I frankly enjoyed more than the entire film.So if you liked Houseful 1 then you already must have seen this. But in case you didn't like the first part then the good news is that despite of being over lengthy & cheeky, HOUSEFULL 2 is still a better enjoyable attempt from the two Sajids (The producer and the director).

Housefull 2 is the one of the most irritating film I have ever seen in the recent times. Four Son-in-laws wants to get to married to their respective bride whose father-in-laws thinks all them to be the same person. Sajid Khan (Housefull , Heyy Baby) has directed this film and I must tell you to think twice before watching the film. The movie does not have any story , no plots and worst of all no acting at all. Just to make a masala entertainment , the director had made sure to accumulate all the stars under one umbrella and give us one nonsense comedy. Screenplay is loose. Cinematography is good along with nice music by Sajid –Wajid. Performance wise it is just Akhshaye Kumar and Rishi Kapoor who have done justice to their parts. Overall , boring flick with bad performances. If you like mindless comedy and still you don't have much choice , then at least you can give it a try otherwise go for another sensible entertainer.

As long as there are people who continue to like nonsense movies like Ready, Bodyguard, Wanted, Houseful, Thank you, Tees Maar Khan, & Akshay's long list of debacles, Sajid will continue making such movies and spoil the name of Bollywood in the genre of comedy.The movie is all about confusion about who the real 'Jolly' is. 15-20 minutes into the movie and you know where the plot is leading you. Some cheap dialogue's like John to ayega nahi and Jagga, Ab-Raham nahi karega, define this movie. And once and for all, Bollywood should stop mocking Hollywood, the Kill bill copy scene was quite terrible. 4 men couldn't do what Uma did with grace. John, Shreyas are wasted. Ritesh, Boman, Mithun do their usual roles.Johny Lever and Chunky Pandey are no longer humorous. And Akshay carries yet another non sensible movie with ease. Its better not to mention the actresses, except Asin who gets to say 1-2 duologue's. Songs are passable. For the lovers of Akshay's similar past works & Salman's recent works: this one's a treat, for the rest of us, lets contribute to the film NOT being a house full !
