Saturday's HOUSEFULL

What do we do when we have plenty of  inutile time?? most of us start criticizing and if one can write probably you pick up stuff and pen down a critical appreciation on it. I choose Housefull. Well this is my first attempt as far as writing critical notes are concerned. Last time I did this I was in 10th grade then and believe me I ain't good at it; probably I should be allowed to intromit the fact that m' gonna be the last person on this planet you would be wiling to hear; because I really suck at it. But then I guess everyone is having a hand on it why not me ??


I and Krishna had this wonderful honour to accompany Tej to Houseful because it was her plan. We were done with our lab exams so the event demanded a celebration. Housefull was Tej's obvious choice and Krishna and me are really helpless when it comes to princess's choice. :-)


Half awake half asleep still lingering in our semi-clad dreams we boarded the rickshaw. While two of us were as lazy stale as a rotten egg ; Tej was brimming with smile and exuberance. Well no complains that’s how she is Lovely and Jubilant. But sadly the guys accompanying her were the laziest dogs on this earth who loved sleep and IDLEism more than any other practised virtue. We reached E-square just in time [Thank God Dhii realized that we were getting late and shunned her some %tage of adornment]. We entered the screen only to realize that Housefull was really housefull. “Man this is already critical”, I said to Krishna. “Yeah”, he replied back. Finally we took the seats - Tej in between and two drowsy sadist at her either side.

We supposedly entered  a few minutes late.The scene was where Akshay Kumar was trying to  propose Malaika Arora Khan and  ended up doing some real unnatural sorts of behaves with the song "He is a loser " in the back ground. The entire screen was roaring with laughter while I could only utter what a loser movie and more lost was the acting. 

• Acting

Akshay Kumar is as usual monotonous with his so called trying to flint rib-tickling comic acts. Boman Irani had been impressive at some areas while the rest is nothing well appreciating. Ritesh Deshmukh seems a sidelined actor with Lara Dutta trying to support him. Jia Khan looked  good in traditional suit but swim suit – she sucked. The only good looking face was Deepika Padukone who after her trimmed hairs look summer cool and trendy. Arjun Rampal seemed impressive with his so called Hard and tough look.

• Summary

 So, on one hand we can see Akshay, who is acted as a 'loser' trying to win over Deepika Padukone's angry brother Arjun Rampal. On the other hand we can see Riteish and Lara playing husband and wife who are trying to seek respite from Lara's estranged father Boman Irani. Now what is to be seen is how the duo's tryst to convince the relatives leading to happy ending has been compiled with series of hilarious instances in the film. The first Half has useless “hahahaha “ scenes while the second half is better.

N.B After the  first half, I only wished Tej would have taken a little more time to get ready.

• Music 

Music composition in 'Houseful' has been done by Shankar- Ehsaan- Loy which includes re-composing of a popular number 'Apni toh jaise taise' from Amitabh Bachchan's film 'Laawaris'. Mika did bring in a new touch to the track. Nevertheless the track “I don’t know what to do”  and “Loser”  speaks of itself. “Oh Girl you are mine” looks good on screen while “Papa is sleeping” has been quite popular because of it slacky tune it carries with itself. All in all a ok music.

• Cinematography and direction

Spare me people.

• Conclusion

Its a slapstick comedy film involving lots of confusion and error of identities; nevertheless much was expected from Sajid Khan who has been literally claiming from rooftops for weeks now that he has made the year’s biggest blockbuster. Though he has not entirely let us down, you do wish he could have opted for a more innovative plot. Just hang in there for 2 hr 50 mins for some exchange of laughters and if you have kids they are gonna love it.

As far as me and Krishna was concerned really we were sobbing at hearts. But then we had nothing to loose because we had Tej accompanying us. In fact we enjoyed more after the movie but it’s an another tale which require more space and time.
