“Sajid Khanu0026#39;s new venture Housefull 2,a sequel to 2010u0026#39;s Housefull may not be a laugh-riot but seriously,is better than its prequel.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eHousefull 2 had the potential to be a laugh-riot movie but fails!It just entertains! u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eStory:- u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eHousefull 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 u0026#39;Jollyu0026#39; 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 filmu0026#39;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.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe filmu0026#39;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 JDu0026#39;s house or even the climax.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe direction is average.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe screenplay is half-baked.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe dialogs are okay.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe editors could have trimmed the movie making it short and sweet rather than long and tedious.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe music is fine.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe cinematography is good.The locales of London have been captured well.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003ePerformances:- Out of the four males,Akshay Kumar is excellent.Followed by John Abraham who is fine.Ritesh Deshmukh is good.Shreyas Talpadeu0026#39;s character may not have got enough length but still registers an impact.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe four females,Asin,Jacqueline,Zarine Khan and Shazahn Padamsee do not get much meaty role but do make a good job.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eOut 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.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eJohny 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.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAll 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!”
