Housefull Poster
Being the first release after the 2 month dry spell at movie theatres post IPL, audiences were clearly awaiting a picture. While in totality it does fall short of being the big great summer entertainer that it is been claiming to be, it however manages to bring many laughs for you. “The fact is that critics don’t have to tell me whether my film is good or not. It is the job of the audience and they would decide if ‘Housefull’ works for them,” Sajid quoted during production.
Sajid, who also wrote the movie, strains too strong to add humour to every frame. He resorts to the everyday gay and Gujarati gags. He packs just about everything to entertain you for the next two hours. Everybody is expecting from Housefull are non-stop laughter and non-stop entertainment. Besides, Sajid Khan swears by wholesome entertainers, so it’s only natural to expect Housefull to bring the house down.
To give Sajid due credit, he has created many rip roaringly humorous situations that are well executed by his actors. Most hilarious sequences are done by Akshay Kumar and Ritesh and displays amazing chemistry in that. Also Every actor in this film takes the film to the next level.
Apart from humour, Housefull has a story to tell. The story is about pretenses, and how in the name of saving one’s face and popularity, lies lead to larger lies, stemming from wanting to impress family members. Housefull narrates the story of Aarush (Akshay Kumar), the world’s unluckiest man. Being jinxed, he believes his bad luck can vanish if he finds true love. In the process he gets married to the rich mans daughter Jiah Khan. But there’s a twist in the tale. Then enters Sandy (Deepika Padukone), who falls in love with Aarush. But complications follow thereafter as Sandy’s brother, Major Krishna Rao (Arjun Rampal) and Hetal’s (Lara Dutta-bobs wife) father, Batuk Patel (Boman Irani) enter the scene. How Bob and Aarush come out of this mess, forms the crux of the film.
Every actor in this picture takes the picture to the next stage. I am not attempting to write a full housefull movie review here.Akshay Kumar is superb as Aarush. All those who felt that the actor tends to grow loud or wishes to be restricted will alter their opinion with this film. Riteish is brilliant as natural. He doesn’t give you an impression that he is acting. The story’s main focus is Akshay, eben though Riteish stands shoulder to shoulder with the hero. Next Arjun Rampal does a fantastic job as well. Deepika carries her part with amazing confidence and again she will be remembered for her performance in this one. Lara is a experienced person when it comes to comedies and she’s too good yet onceagain. Her scenes with Riteish in particular and also with Boman are first-rate. Jiah is a revelation. Although she doesn’t get much scope, she manages to register an impact.
Cast: Akshay Kumar, Arjun Rampal, Ritesh Deshmukh, Deepika Padukone, Lara Dutta, Jiah Khan

This is getting a bit more subjective, but I much prefer the Zune Marketplace. The interface is colorful, has more flair, and some cool features like ‘Mixview’ that let you quickly see related albums, songs, or other users related to what you’re listening to. Clicking on one of those will center on that item, and another set of “neighbors” will come into view, allowing you to navigate around exploring by similar artists, songs, or users. Speaking of users, the Zune “Social” is also great fun, letting you find others with shared tastes and becoming friends with them. You then can listen to a playlist created based on an amalgamation of what all your friends are listening to, which is also enjoyable. Those concerned with privacy will be relieved to know you can prevent the public from seeing your personal listening habits if you so choose.
