Rotten tomatoes would had been a better option than Housefull 2.

If Housefull was crap then Housefull 2 is a crap train.

Its full of isolated non sense stuff that transcends the requirement of a filmmaking.

Nowadays producers know a secret formula....Skinshow and India's ever increasing population. They know that India is such as place where there would never be any investment for hockey fields bu rather a whole lot of money will be thrown away to set up multiplexes to welcome movies like Houseful 2 & Players.

Even though its way short of everything except non sense India is that country who would even stampede in order to run to theaters and get an early seat to watch these movies.

I would go for N/10 - Non Sense

Housefull 2 is a solid entertainment....

Akshay Kumar steals the show, he's back with a bang with his first movie of the year.... He's stunning, fabulous and his signature expression was outstanding, loved to see him in his original avtaar, of being 'kaminaaa'...!!!!

John is improving movie by movie...

Ritesh & Shreyas have done a good job...

Asin & Jacqueline were good, rest of the two don't have much to do...

The four fathers were brilliant...

Johnny Lever & Chunky Pandey were average...

Ranjeet's cameo was wow...

All the songs were good...

Akshay Kumar's entry was awesome..

This one is better than Housefull...

The scene with Python and Crocodile was stretched...

I would've rated it 6/10 but it's Akshay Kumar who changed my mood... He was mindblasting...

I'll rate it 6/10...

I had to give 1 star because there is no lower possible rating. I don't know what sajid khan thinking or (fully drunk) when he made this movie. Did he watch it himself before releasing it? If he did watch it, and still release it, he takes us to be absolutely dumb idiots.

Have you ever tried tickling someone very hard to make him laugh? Well, it felt that way. Only it wasn't tickly, but painful! All the situations, gags, jokes were warped and senseless. I'd rather spend 3 hours watching ants crawling.

The only saving grace was was chunky pandey. His gags did make me smile occasionally. Anyway, I think it is a waste of time writing about the movie. Only, I feel terrible for the unwary ones who are planning to go to watch it.

A sequel to the 2010 Hit, Housefull, 'Housefull 2', Directed by Sajid Khan, is a Funny & Entertaining Film, that lives up-to the mark. Its Paisa-Vasool Entertainment, that never pretends to be anything else.

'Housefull 2' tells the story of four fathers, four daughters and four prospective sons-in-law. Each father wants his daughter to marry the richest son-in-law. Each daughter thinks she is marrying the richest son-in-law. Each son-in-law is pretending to be the richest son-in-law. However, none of these people can stand each other and all of them are under one roof, in one house.

'Housefull 2' is hilarious in parts. The First-Hour entertains, while the Second-Hour, when all the characters come under one roof, is equally entertaining & funny. Even the climax, though loud, its arresting. The Screenplay progresses rapidly & each character is memorable. Sajid Khan's Direction is fine. Music by Sajid-Wajid, is fabulous.

Performance-Wise: Mithun is a delight to watch. His portions stand out, thanks to his performance. Rishi Kapoor & Randhir Kapoor are funny. Akshay Kumar is always dependable when it comes to comedy, and he does well yet again. John Abraham is ordinary, while Ritesh Deshmukh & Shreyas Talpade are only getting better. Boman Irani scores big time in a small role. Asin Thottumkal does a decent job. Jacqueline Fernandez, Zarine Khan & Shazahn Padamsee get very limited scope. Chunky Pandey & Johnny Lever bring the house down, they are impeccable. Ranjeet's Cameo, is fun.

On the whole, 'Housefull 2' is a complete entertainer, that's not meant to be taken too seriously. Go, Have Fun!

I hated house full n the only reason for watching this movie was free tickets and a weekend on which i had nothing interesting to do.. where should i start..?? the movie has no plot..it looks like the sajid khan's idea of a plot is to just fill the screen with many people and ask them to shout at their top of the voice.. as the movie says the so called "Dirty Dozens" aren't impressive at all.. rishi kapoor after a riveting performance in Agneepath disappoints by doing such a silly role..and the worse acting belonged to john abraham.. his cheesy one liners were pathetic..someone has to say to him he isn't good at comedy..while akshay was good in parts and the other two were passable..coming to the actresses, they had less to do with acting but more with skin show.. they were only two positives of this film chunky pandey and the veteran johnny lever.. a lame movie that doesn't deserves to be watched on big screen..

Sajid Khan should try his luck in Las Angeles. He made an Above Average which turned out to be a Block Buster than came Housefull which was plain average but again a block buster. Now with housefull 2 his wish to make disgusting movie is fulfilled. But again a super hit

This is the most confusing movie ever in world cinema. It makes a complete mockery of cinema. Their is no plot in the movie to discuss, but again this a brainless comedy. Now is this a comedy movie. It doesn't make you laugh in fact it is an acid test for your funny bone. If someone can laugh in this movie than he should not watch great comedy or he will die laughing.

Performance wise Akshay did the great job but lines are so bad that he won't make you laugh. John is not good at comedy but he tried his best. Ritesh is as he is. Shreyas is a good actor and he deserve better role. Pity here is that Rishi Kapoor who has just given an outstanding Do Dooni Chaar and Agneepath is given a worst character to play. Randhir Kapoor is an average actor but again his character is similar to Rishi's. Mithun is brilliant but he is not their to make you laugh. Boman has 10mins role. Sorry but no need to tell about actresses.

I wonder when will Sajid deliver flop as I want him to come back to hosting shows. But no time soon as he is delivering blockbusters. This movie is no better than some c grade comedies like Buddha mar Gaya or Chatur Singh.

STRENGTHS :- * Casting and Performances : were excellent * Songs : were energetic * Story and Direction : was good entertainer * comedy sequences : were enjoyable

WEAKNESSES :- * Screenplay : was very lengthy * Unwanted scenes : like to be avoided....

FINAL VERDICT :- * Overall.. the movie is a complete family entertainer .... watch it guys and have fun .....

Four son-in-laws marry four brides whose four father-in laws mistake every son-in law for Jolly.

Stars: Akshay Kumar, Asin, John Abraham |

The much anticipated movie turned out to be the real disappointment. I do not understand what these people are trying to project from such movies ? I went with an anticipation of light comedy without using brain but since the movie made my brain go numb, I took a nap in between. Too many loose strings and plots and sub-plots and sub-plots without any relevance among themselves lead to ultimate confusion and in between I was searching for some laughing material which never came till the end.

All the talented actors have been wasted under poor direction from Sajid Khan. No continuity, no screenplay and even the songs suck.

Do not waste the money, even if you have plenty ! Because your brain damage will be more expensive affair.

I was expecting better comedy since literally wasted $10 on a ticket for Housefull 1 Thank God Housefull II I watched on laptop and couldn't watch after 40 minutes .. mY favorite actor is John but WOW what a waste of talent.... Most PATHETIC MOVIE of 2012! With Sajid's looks deteriorating, his film levels are also...

The guy has NO sense.. looks worst and worst day by day..and thinks he is the God of movies... Someone please give him an electric shock to bring him back to his senses.... Feel sorry for Akshay... what a career... giving flops after flops and yet still sitting there holding on tight! Salute!

Houseful 2 – CATCH IT (B+) Houseful is an out and out entertainment, the story and situations are not jell well together but still it manages to make your roll on floor laughing. Akshay Kumar finally in his best foam after 3 years of disastrous movies & performances. John Abraham, Reitesh & Sheryas are hilarious and their timing with Akshay is perfect. Asin and Jacqueline are the main lead and looked gorgeous along with Zarine Khan and Shazahn Padamsee. Mithun, Rishi and Randhir Kapoor & Boman Irani were perfect. All the girls and boys have terrific chemistry and looked great together. Songs and cinematography is refreshing. Overall great entertainment but mistakes in story and screenplay are apparent.

Sajid Khan's new venture Housefull 2,a sequel to 2010's Housefull may not be a laugh-riot but seriously,is better than its prequel.

Housefull 2 had the potential to be a laugh-riot movie but fails!It just entertains!

Story:-

Housefull 2 tells the story of four fathers Daboo,Chintu,JD and Batook (Randhir Kapoor, Rishi Kapoor, Mithun Chakraborty, Boman Irani) respectively,their four daughters Heena,Bobby,Parul and JLo (Asin, Jacqueline Fernandez, Shazahn Padamsee, Zarine Khan)respectively and four prospective sons-in-law Sunny,Max,Jwala and Jai (Akshay Kumar, John Abraham, Riteish Deshmukh, Shreyas Talpade)respectively. Each father wants his daughter to marry the richest son-in-law. Each daughter thinks she is marrying the richest son-in-law. Each son-in-law is pretending to be the richest son-in-law. However, none of these people can stand each other and all of them are under one roof, in one house.As they enter the house, a catchy title 'Jolly' gets attached to their name and thanks to a confusion, the four fathers begin to think all four sons-in-law are named Jolly. The confusion only gets bigger… The film's first-half offers too many jokes,but most of them fall flat.The python and crocodile scene might tickle your funny bone at the start but gets tedious later on.Ditto for the scene when Akshay Kumar is introduced.

The film's second hour is the real gem.It offers so many laughs but still fails to impact the Laugh Out Loud factor.Be it the scene when each father-in law takes their son-in-law to JD's house or even the climax.

The direction is average.

The screenplay is half-baked.

The dialogs are okay.

The editors could have trimmed the movie making it short and sweet rather than long and tedious.

The music is fine.

The cinematography is good.The locales of London have been captured well.

Performances:- Out of the four males,Akshay Kumar is excellent.Followed by John Abraham who is fine.Ritesh Deshmukh is good.Shreyas Talpade's character may not have got enough length but still registers an impact.

The four females,Asin,Jacqueline,Zarine Khan and Shazahn Padamsee do not get much meaty role but do make a good job.

Out of the four fathers,Rishi Kapoor,Mithun Chakraborty and Randhir Kapoor stand out.Rishi and Randhir are cute,while Mithun Chakraborty is excellent.Boman Irani is funny but gets less screen space.

Johny Lever and Chunky Pandey as Aakhiri Pasta are truly tremendous.They rock the show!Ranjeet shines in a cameo.Malaika Arora sizzles.Vindu Dara Singh is wasted.

All in all,Housefull 2 may not be a laugh riot-but does entertain.I am giving it a generous six on ten.Watch if you must otherwise wait for the television premier!

House full 2 is a Baseless, nonsense and garbage comedy movie.

I do not understand that why the critics appreciate this movie and recommend to people to watch this movie.

Ah, coming to the storyline (if you still insist), the first half is, more or less, exhausted with unnecessary buildup through lackadaisical love stories and fathers-of-bride (Randhir Kapoor, Rishi Kapoor) who want billionaire son-in-laws for their daughters.

Comedy is all about timing, and save for Ritesh Deshmukh who is genuinely funny in many scenes, and Akshay Kumar who gets a few moments to shine, the cast of Housefull 2 largely disappoints, with John Abraham leading the pack as he fails spectacularly in matching his brawny physicality with a surprisingly effete demeanor.

Rating 0.01/10

With as many as 12 stars, 1 chart buster and 2 popular songs, Sajid Khan is back with what he does best – tickling your funny bone. So how does he manage to do it?

Housefull 2 is based on the basic principles of economics – demand and supply. Demand and supply for Jolly – Ritesh Deshmukh. The petrified son of billionaire J.D (Mithun Chakraborty)

2 Jolly's are required for the warring brothers Chintu (Rishi Kapoor) and Daboo's (Randhir Kapoor) daughters, Asin and Jacqueline so that their fathers can get one up on the other. 1 Jolly for Zarine Khan, his true love. 1 Jolly for father J.D, who wants his son to marry Parul (Shazahn Padamsee) old friend Batook Patel's (Boman Irani) daughter. Total Jolly's in demand: 4. Supply: 1.

So how do you supply 4 Jolly's simultaneously? Housefull comes up with a Jolly good solution. The solution brings along plenty of mix ups and a few more cover ups. While these mix ups and cover ups play hide and seek with each other, it offers for some hilarious moments (depending on the brand of humour your enjoy). The smart-alecky, tongue in cheek dialogues add to the fun.

Though in between the few hilarious scenes and 2 enjoyable songs your attention wanders. That might be because the emotional scenes barring the climax don't get you involved and there's not much depth in the story. Given that it's a sequel to Housefull, there should be no reason to expect anything else from the movie.

The scenes are brought alive by some crackling performances by the stalwarts Rishi Kapoor, Mithun Chakraborty and Johnny Lever. Akshay Kumar is lovable. Randhir Kapoor, Shreyas Talpade, John Abraham and Ritesh are good too. The leading ladies Asin, Zarine look more in control than Jacqueline. Shazahn does not have much to do.

Sajid Wajid's music is excellent and they give us a chartbuster in Anarkali Disco Chali aptly sizzled by Malaika. Papa Toh Band Bajaaye is also enjoyable besides lending itself beautifully as a central theme. Manoj Soni's cinematography and Radhika Sangoi's editing is good. In the writing department Sajid Nadiadwala's story is ordinary but Farhad Sajid's dialogues and Sajid Khan's + Tushar Hiranandani's screenplay is superb.

Sajid Khan is known to have a great sense of humour and he optimises it cent percent in writing and direction. From his 'Kehne mein kya harz hai' days to Housefull 2, he continues to make us laugh. Would love to see Sajid try a new genre, but if not, enough people would look forward to Housefull 3.

Watch for: Some good laughs.

Watch out for: Zany dialogues, Akshay Kumar & the madcap confrontations between Rishi Kapoor and Randhir Kapoor.

Don't watch if: Just laughs don't satiate your movie experience. You are allergic to slapsticks.

Story: 4 | Screenplay: 7 | Performances: 7 | Songs and Music: 7 | Overall: 6/10

thanks to my laptop that i din't wasted ma money on Housefull 2...

it doesn't worth big screen.... i still din't get whether movie was serious ,sad,funny,romantic,action or a thriller...actresses used fr skin show... actors acted like we r kids an will laugh by their awful actions... movie needs some sort of story dude...how come u fool house with your Housefull... its sad that because of this crap more movies will follow the formula of no story movie like after daubing series of funny action movies was startd....an we were gifted by sing ham,bodyguard etc etc...in short the good thing i movie was the use of colors...feeling pity for the people who liked the movie...... skip it!!!

I expected a lot from this movie and MY Expectations - worked! This movie is totally-entertaining-movie, I've seen till now in 2012.

Akshay's acting is just GREAT. Then comes, JOHN ABRAHAM - never seen him doing this type of ROLE before, I must say he is very talented! There comes Ritesh and Shreyas - they did marvelous job for small period of time :D Female actors supported a lot for this movie and again they rocked the movie too :D Rishi and Randhir kapoor were total-funpack-brothers in this movie, the nonsense they made, they did and they do are like JUST TOO ENTERTAINING! Here comes, Ranjeet sir who just took movie to a new level in just small ROLE.. Yes thats right! Short ROLE! But the best :D Story is well written, direction is perfect for bolly-comedy-movies, songs are catchy, casting is PERFECT and locations were unbelievable! GREAT CHOICE :D I missed Aakhri pasta (Chunky Pandey) a looot in this movie! His role was just for short period of time :(

"Fiffy (Or whatever the spelling is) and Nagraj - the two animals-scene were EPIC :D"

Some people will try to find LOGIC in this movie. But then COMEDY is to make people laugh not to find LOGICS or some real stuff in it ;) ENTERTAINING MOVIE and had fun after looooong period of time :D

Vote: 9/10!

I found house full 2 surprisingly funny after all reading on the negative reviews on the net. Its not like an intelligent comedy, its purely made to tickle the funny bone no matter how illogical the plot might be. But it works for what it promises. If you look for logic you will be disappointed. Just kick back and have fun!

Akshay, Riteish, Shreyas, Johhny Lever are seasoned actors in the comedy genre. John needs to improve (as always), but isn't bad. The heroines are there just to fill in and don't do much. The daddies in the film don't have too much of screen time so that helped too :D...but to be fair to them they have played their parts well. Chunky Pandey...well, I have no comments ;-)....I m a joking!!! He is good too...

I've always seen Sajid Khan shout out in interviews that he does not make movies for critics. I respect that. I feel every fimmaker should make a film that pleases them and the audience and not for reviews. However, that does not mean they should take their audience for granted. Sajid does just that in this flick. I wasn't a huge fan of Housefull but still I found it enjoyable. I walked in the theaters expecting just a normal entertainer and what I get from this film is a lot of unanswered question.

Why exactly do the Kapoors even hate eachtother? How is that Akki-John, Asin-Jaquelin become friends again that quick? How do people not know Mithun's past despite him being one of the riches people of the UK? And that too in this high technology wikipedia-google age? Why does John continue trying to con Randhir Kapoor if he wasn't the one they were suppose to con?

The story is intended to confuse the viewer. That is okay but it's very flawed.

Mithun all the sudden turning into a goon again is ridiculous! I mean, are we idiots?

I feel Sajid needs to go past these done to death identity confusion movies. David Dhawan and Priyadarshan have mastered this. I do feel Sajid is better than this. He showed that in his first film Heyy Babby.

Writing is weak. Music is alright. Papa toh band bajaye is good.

His direction is good but needs work on script. Dialogue is first rate, however. A lot of questions come and go unanswered. That is the writing at fault. Sajid needs to do films with a plot instead of this crap. Heyy Babby still remains his best film.

Akshay Kumar is good. Still, his comedy is just not the same anymore. John is good. Ritesh is alrite. Shreyas is okay.

Randhir, Rishi and Mithun are great actors and do their job but needed better roles.

Asin is wasted. Rest are okay.

Overall - A disappointment that is a decent pass time but still is the worst of Sajid's films.

If I may provide an observation from the outside, it seems that some of the best Indian comedies that do well at the box office involve a certain degree of deceit, at least those based on identities where people pretend to be someone else they're not, and involving shenanigans that the characters try to keep from one another, with allies and adversaries either into the same scheme, or trying to uncover the truth from the complex web of lies spun, leading to comedy of wit, and loaded with slapstick. The first Housefull was a riot, but I guess when you try to pack a house with more characters, it reaches breaking point and disintegrates instead of bringing it up to a while new level.

Given that this is not a direct sequel to the first film, where Akshay Kumar was playing a Loser, such a Loser, only the ideas and key moments got repeated here in trying to establish and repeat a formula of success, which if this film proves to be successful at the box office, is sure to be used again for yet another film. And this involves comedy revolving around one identity which everyone impersonates to deceive characters in their respective arcs, especially the father and family figures, in order to earn the hand of the girl they so desire, and having everything come together in a big mansion which provides plenty of opportunity for opinions to clash, and to be avoided.

In essence, there are four pairs of lovebirds now, who mostly start off as adversaries only for make pretend turning into something real, and that took almost the entire first half of the film to plod through before the interval, jet setting between London and a beach resort that provides for plenty of swimwear modelling moments, and a number of ridiculously crafted wire-fu action sequences, coupled with the most absurd cases of courtship rituals. But I guess all these play into what's known as the equivalent of Hong Kong's mo-lei-tau brand of fun. So if you enjoy such madcap moments, including rubber animals being passed off as the real McCoy, then surely you won't be bored here.

Otherwise, the second half kicks things into gear. centered around Jai (Shreyas Talpade) and his revenge against Daboo (Randhir Kapoor) who had insulted his family honour. Daboo is in turn loggerheads with his step brother Chintu (Rishi Kapoor), and both of them create another rivalry to see whose daughter can marry the scion of the richest man in London, Jolly (Ritesh Desmukh), who happens to be Jai's friend. So they enlist the help of confidence trickster and small time pickpocket Sunny (Akshay Kumar) and Max (John Abraham) to go after the two men's daughters Henna (Asin Thottumkal) and Bobby (Jacqueline Fernandez), while at the same time Jai and Jolly have their individual women challenges in Parul (Shazahn Padamsee) and JLo (Zarine Khan) respectively, the former being strung around because of Jai's indecision, while the latter setting an ultimatum to become Mrs Jolly, only because Jolly has father-issues and cannot bring himself to communicate with his dad, Forbe's man of the year JD (Mthun Chakraborty).

Throw in another dad in Parul's with Boman Irani in the role of Batook Patel, a one time police inspector who shares a history with JD, put them all together in JD's sprawling mansion, and with all the four guys pretending to be Jolly one time or another in their respective arcs, you would hope for a lot of comedy to spring up, which they sometimes do thanks to Johnny Lever as JD's butler Vishwas Patil, the only one who suspects a rat amongst the shenanigans. The fun was of course witnessing the web of confusion spun by Akshay Kumar 's Sunny - who again is unfortunately memorable for his crazy sticking-of-the-tongue-out gesture - and how those in the know continue to pull wool around the eyes of the father figures. But alas this dragged on for far too long, and had a resolution that's of the most convenient.

Compared to the first Housefull, this edition seemed like it wanted to play catch up, and if the predecessor can do something, so can it. With the Queen's appearance in the first, this one followed up with a Prince Charles lookalike who didn't look a like, finding opportunity to pull a fast one with a random Camilla joke. The initial rivalry between Akshay Kumar and John Abraham's characters also seemed like a pale shadow to what's already seen and experienced in their most recent collaboration in Desi Boyz, so to dedicate significant screen time for this was like watching that film all over again. The songs also weren't as fun as its predecessor, save for Papa Toh Band Bajaye which was accused of ripping off We Speak No Americano, and the ultra sexy Right Now Now where you have three couples frolicking in the mansion to the disbelief of Vishwas since they're all romancing, in his opinion, the wrong partners.

If only the set up took the more direct route and trimmed itself down rather than to bloat it through a lot of unnecessary bickering and out of this world romancing, because the second half, except the finale, was the highlight. As mentioned, I still have to figure out Bollywood comedies which I suspect could have a lot more dialogues being lost in translation, but still this failed to reach the heights and level of fun set in the original. Still, if this does well at the box office, there could be yet another installment utilizing the same formula, and it remains to be seen then if another set of cast can work the spirit of the original rather than try to be a clone.
