Reviews
GamerTab That was an excellent one.
Listonixio Fresh and Exciting
Voxitype Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.
Neive Bellamy Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.
Takethispunch The story follows Aarush, (Akshay Kumar), a 'panauti' (an unlucky person), who works in bar and gets money as people lose games of poker. After being rejected from getting married by a girl he goes to London to stay for some time with his best friend, Bob (Riteish Deshmukh) and his wife, Hetal (Lara Dutta), both working at a casino owned by Kishore Samtani (Randhir Kapoor). Although at first Hetal is displeased with Aarush's presence, he proves to be a kind-hearted man looking for a family. Bob and Hetal decide to get him married to their boss' daughter, Devika Samtani (Jiah Khan). After the marriage, on their honeymoon in Italy, Devika leaves him for her longtime American boyfriend Benny. Aarush decides to commit suicide by drowning in the sea but is saved by a Telugu girl, Sandy (Deepika Padukone), who he kisses when she tries to make him breathe.Sandy originally thinks Aarush is a pervert but when Aakhri Pasta (Chunkey Pandey), the owner of Italy's "biggest" hotel where Aarush was spending his honeymoon with Devika, tells Sandy that Aarush is a widower, she befriends him and slowly falls in love with him. What she doesn't know is that Aakhri Pasta was only joking. She then finds out his wife is alive and leaves him, but later when Aarush manages to clear the confusion, she accepts him.The only way Aarush and Sandy can get married is by convincing her elder brother, Major Krishna Rao (Arjun Rampal), a strict Indian Military Intelligence officer who loves his sister and is over-protective of her. Meanwhile, Hetal lies to her father, Batuk Patel (Boman Irani), that Bob owns a mansion and they have a child. On the other hand, Sandy tells her brother that Aarush is quite well to do too. The four are then forced to rent a mansion to make Hetal's dad believe that Bob owns it. Confusion prevails and somehow Batuk accidentally believes that Aarush is married to Hetal, and Bob is the cook. Then, Krishna turns up earlier than expected, much to Aarush's horror, leading to more lies and the two couples making him believe that Aarush owns the mansion.
pjbhaumik Housefull started out funny and grew funnier. The movie was a little long, yet the last one hour was incredibly funny. There were a few good settings as well including an Italian beach resort and an English manor. Akshay Kumar delivered a stiff, unlucky bachelor, and Deepika Padukone made a great star-struck romantic. Chemistry amongst these and the supporting cast played out well with all the physical comedy and dramatic irony. Characters quickly grew related in all sorts of twisted accidents of romance and friendship. Charades and one's love interests tested the boundaries of loyalty to family and honesty. Fresh comedy and a few cheesy dance numbers kept the plot rolling through a hilarious climax.
Biswajit Tripathy If you leave your brains in your home, this movie is a perfect watch. A perfect entertaining movie for weekends.The movie was released at a time, when movie after movie were duds and not one of them were watchable excepting Paathshala. Non stop laughter and entertainment is what this movie is all about. Akshay, Ritesh, Deepika, Jiah, Arjun Rampal, Lara, Boman, and Randhir Kapoor all of them have given powerhouse performance. Only the story could have been a bit better. Akshay as usual is the funniest man around in the movie. There is entertainment and humour in the movie but in installments. Overall the movie is a must watch irrespective of some negative points.
pratip-apz This movie is a "Suchcha" Looser, with all possible non-actings provided by the "horniest" faces of Bollywood, and the horniest and most "richly cheapest" and most vulgar director in the industry to lead them all! It's so obscene and vulgar throughout that i wish it was an official B-Grade movie and i could give a deserved opinion. Akshay Kumar provides you with his genuine, genius cheapness and the fakest of expressions. I just wonder 'how he does it!!' He is such an actor! I really respect him! But wish he uses his talent for some thing good, at least sometime in his career in future! Reitesh Desmukh does a decent job along with Boman Irani, who are the most watchable characters in the movie, Boman specially. Arjun Rampal looks like an alien in the movie! Jiah Khan had much more screen time than i expected, and is a deserved cast for this movie(i like her)! And i think the director could have had some screen time himself as well, as one more animal. And Jacquiline...ahhh!The music was phenomenal, i should say, especially "I don't Know what to do" and "Suchcha Looser". But i know, in the end people are going to like this movie and it's gonna come out a "Winner".
