After a extended painful drought (thanks to the exam season and IPL matches) of pure uninteresting to exasperating pictures arrives Sajid Khan’s Housefull. While in totality it does fall short of being the big great summer entertainer that it is been claiming to be, it though manages to create a lot of laughs for you. However, finally it settles down in recognizable territory.
Sajid, who also wrote the film, strains too strong to add humour to all frame. He resorts to the everyday gay and Gujarati gags. Much was expected from Sajid Khan who has been literally claiming from rooftops for weeks now that he has made the year’s biggest blockbuster. That is natural as promotors had already given hints on that.
To give Sajid due recognition, he has created many rip roaringly comic situations that are further elevated by his actors. Most hilarious sequences are done by Akshay Kumar and Ritesh and displays amazing chemistry in that. Also Every actor in this film takes the film to the next level.
Director Sajid balances the dramatic moments and story line well. The story is about pretenses, and how in the name of saving one’s face and reputation, lies lead to bigger lies, stemming from wanting to impress family members. Akshay plays Aarush, unluckiest man in the world. Being jinxed, he believes his bad luck can vanish if he finds true love. In search of love he gets married to the daugher of a rich man Jaih Khan. Then Sandy also falls in love with Aarush. Sandy is played by none other than Deepika Padukone. Then enter another girl Hetal played by Lara Dutta (Bobs wife) into the plot. To spice up the matter Sandy’s brother Arjun Rampal also enters the plot. How Aarush and his pal Bob (Riteish Deshmukh) come out of this confusion, forms the root of the film.
Every body does a commendable job. I am not attempting to write a full housefull movie review here.Akshay underplays his part fantastically. All those who felt that the actor tends to grow loud or wishes to be restricted will alter their opinion with this film. Riteish is brilliant as natural. He doesn’t give you an impression that he is acting. Though the story primarily revolves around Akshay, Riteish stands shoulder to shoulder with Akshay in this one. Next Arjun Rampal does a fantastic job as well. Deepika carries her part with amazing confidence and again she will be remembered for her performance in this one. Lara is a seasoned player when it comes to comedies and she’s too good at it once again. Her scenes with Riteish in particular and also with Boman are first-rate. Jiah also excell in her role.
Cast: Akshay Kumar, Arjun Rampal, Ritesh Deshmukh, Deepika Padukone, Lara Dutta, Jiah Khan
