Sajid Khan the jerk on TV and the big mouth is back with his third directorial venture HOUSEFULL 2 which is a sequel of his last film HOUSEFULL(2010) which was a surprise hit when Akki's career was going downhill
The film returns Akshay, Ritiesh, Boman, Randhir Kapoor and adds in the mayhem Mithun, Johny Lever, John Abraham, Rishi and Shreyas and also brings back Chunky Pandey the only person reprising his character from the original. The heroines too are changed here, Instead of Lara, Deepika who hammed in the original we have Asin, Jacqueline, Zarine Khan and Shazahn Padamsee who are not better One forgets their individuality as barring Asin most of them frown, scream .etc
The movie has a complicated plot as usual and there are several funny portions The film starts off well, The warring families and their bickering is funny and also Ritiesh and John portions followed by Akki's intro Akki- John enimeity which goes back to their college days and then when they return is also good, Sajid Khan after the success of FORCE also adds some more desi action which seems forced The comedy however also is overdone too badly, Sajid Khan has a fixation with animals, In the original we had Akki bring a pet as a Lion here we have crocodiles and phyton as pets and both animals do harm to characters, The crocodile bites Ritiesh's anus while the phyton bites Shreya's crotch. Many comedy scenes are overdone, loud and stretched as always with Sajid Khan's movies The second half has some better comedy with the entire confusion in Mithun's bungalow however stupid it seems Mithun's flashback showing him as a daaku too seems stupid but is funny Akshay's constant rolling of his tongue seems funny but gets tiring at times and looks far fetched One wishes there was more of Ranjit's character which is called RANJEET V.ASNA K PUJARI The original ended in Birguimham palace with a laughter gas bringing in laughs from the characters if not from the audience with the queen saying JAI MAHARASHTRA. Here we have Prince Charles thrown in the wedding mayhem where the reformed Daaku goes back to his past appearance and goes about shooting all Direction by Sajid Khan is non-existent mostly though some scenes are funny but he should change his style and stop making actors jokers Music is decent,
Akshay Kumar with his ayeee style and his usual comedy does bring in some laughs, His chemistry with John, Ritiesh is superb John Abraham is seen unshaven in some portions after a long time, while he tries very hard to be funny he goes way over the top mostly but yet a good effort. His chemistry with Akki with whom he recently shared space in DESI BOYZ is good Ritiesh fresh after the moderate success of TLHG which was his solo film is back with his sidekick turn but does a good job Shreyas is funny too Mithun is superb as Jagga Daaku turned JD while Boman Irani in a shorter role is similar like in the original Johny Lever is funny as usual while Ranjeet is superb in a cameo Asin is better then the lot and does a good job Jacequeline is loud and doesn't really fit well while the other 2 heroines are forgotten Chunky Pandey is funny with his AAKHREE PAASTA character Both the kapoor brothers literally compete with loud performances with a Raj Kapoor background score playing in slyly Rishi back after the superb job in AGNEEPATH here hams it up with loud dialogues mostly paraphrases of dogs Randhir Kapoor playing his step brother is loud too
