Review of housefull

In the name of comedy, Sajid Khan's Housefull is a slap on your senses as the film sticks to the slapstick genre in every literal sense

. It's shocking that the director feels electrocution scene are funny even in current times and stretches the sequence with no potential difference from Tom and Jerry cartoons. Humans go animated while animals are humanized as a Macaw squeals in Marathi, a tiger growls shers and a monkey slaps man all absolutely unnecessary to the plot. Since there is no plotline in the first half, the tomfoolery and clowning is extended till the interval point. The hero stammers when he's stressed out and the viewer is stressed out when the hero stammers. Barring some sporadic funny moments, when you aren't much amused by the film, laughing gas is released in the climax to induce forced laughter.

No pun but Aarush (Akshay Kumar) plays a punauti , which means he is blessed with the power of spreading badluck wherever he goes. Friends Bob (Riteish Deshmukh) and Hetal (Lara Dutta) suggest he get married to change his fortune. They introduce him to girl-next-door Devika (Jiah Khan) who believes sharam aur laaj aurat ka gehna hota hai '. Next moment they are married. Next to that they are divorced. Finally the actual heroine Sandy (Deepika Padukone) enters and perhaps that's when the makers realize too much time has been wasted on nothingness. So love is hurried between the lead couple amidst sweet nothings of how Aarush's diabetic father died on consuming kaju barfi .

Where's the story you ask? Somewhere in the second half (thankfully)! What's the story you ask? A masala mix of several potboilers (thanklessly). Hetal's father Batuk (Boman Irani) who is not on talking terms with his daughter ever since her love marriage decides to pay her a visit in London. A comedy of error follows as Aarush is mistaken to be Hetal's husband. The conflict is as old as Rajesh Khanna's Joroo Ka Ghulam (1972) to Rishi Kapoor's Honeymoon (1992). More confusion ensues with the entry of Sandy's brother, Krishna (Arjun Rampal) as a fake family is set up to win his consent for the marriage. The setting is as familiar' as Hrishikesh Mukherjee's Golmaal to Rohit Shetty's all the best (with Arjun almost recreating Sanjay Dutt's part) or the more recent TV sitcom Sajan Re Jhooth Mat Bolo . Further Arjun and Akshay play Sach Ka Samna until the moment of truth arrives in the climax amidst laughing gas.

There are some genuinely funny moments in the second half esp. Boman Irani sleepwalking through his portrayal of Gujarati Sholay . Unfortunately it fails to salvage the harm caused by the bland, boring and banal first half. Also this time Sajid fails to show the finesse of Farah Khan in pulling off spoofs.
