Housefull 2 Review

First of all, take a bow, Mithun Chakraborty!! Amidst all the hilarious situations happening around him, he managed to give a stupendus performance with so much grace, which gave more meaning to the madness that was surrounding him. He excelled as a strong headed, down to earth, and no-nonsense man of principals.

Jai (Shreyas) who wants to avenge his father from Chintu Kapoor, called his friend (Ritesh deshmukh) to help him out, so that he will ask for Chintu Kapoor's daughter's (Asin) hand and then reject her. Ritesh is too scared of his father (Mithun Chakraborty) to indulge in this, so they have to involve a professional conman (John Abraham), but they send him to a wrong house (Daboo Kapoor) by mistake. Now they have to involve another professional conman (Akshay Kumar), who is considered to be the biggest Kamina of UK. Both conmen are paid well enough to do the job, and they are progressing well in their task, until they came to know that they have to confront Ritesh's father.

No one can play conman better than Akshay, and he just blew the roof off with his performance in this movie. His character not only anchors the movie, but also move story forward. John is playing a character he has never played before, and he did better than I expected him to. Shreyas and Ritesh are real pleasure to watch, they do their part well. Asin excels among other female leads of the movie, followed by Jacqueline who managed to give some expressions this time. Other two heroines were just about serviceable, nothing worth mentioning about them. Rishi Kapoor and Randhir Kapoor had a terrific chemistry between them, and they stole first half an hour before Akshay took control. Boman Irani did his part well, but his role wasn't much. Johny lever has done it all in Bollywood Comedy, but it is still a pleasure watching him pull off a role (similar to Paresh Rawal's role in 'Haseena Maan Jayegi') and do better. Chunky pandey played the same 'Akhiri pasta' and his scenes are hilarious. Ranjeet (YES, good old Ranjeet) has two scenes in the movie, and he made an impact you would like to remember.

All the songs are entertaining and enjoyable. 'Anarkali Disco Chali' and 'Pappa toh band bajaye' simply tore the house down. What brilliant choreography and what brilliant lyrics. Almost felt like singing 'Do you know' song while watching it. Don't remember when I last felt like this. 'Right now' is more erotic than it looks on youtube and TV.

Housefull 2 tickle your funny bone if you have it. Trailers are indicative enough that you need to keep your brains at home to watch this movie. If you do wanna use them, use it appreciate the choreography in the songs and the way Akshay and Mithun had made their part believable, which could have easily looked silly. If you are an Akshay kumar fan or even Ritesh's fan, then don't miss this movie. If you don't like Akshay's movies, then may be you should wait till next weekend to get more consensus on this movie.
