Houseful: Theater bhale hi khali ho Film to houseful hai

Think of a parent who keep name of their child "intelligent". Even if he is dumb, people will still call him Intelligent. Or keep name of their ugly daughter "beautiful". Its true that we all love our possessions and creations, but that doesn't mean we close our eyes to the truth.
This is what has happened with Sajid Khan. The director, who always lives in a dream, that he is best director and all his jokes, on which most of the only he laughs, are the best jokes. The movie named Houseful, probably they were sure, will never be practically houseful. Though the timing of release was superb, people were desperate to watch movies. No new movie with good star cast was released in last 2 months due to IPL. The theaters were full. But the jokes, over acting, situations failed to bring a smile on audience face.
I am kind of loosing respect for Akshay Kumar after seeing movies like Chandni Chowk To China, Singh is King and now Houseful. With hoers mature and try to act in movies which not only fetch money but also bring them some place in history. But Akki is going other way. After doing such good comedies like Hera Feri, Welcome, Namstey London, he has fallen in trap.
Who was the casting director? Shoot him. Lara Dutta lookes like big sister to Ritesh, Ziya khan looks like daughter to Akki. Deepika is gorgeous and have a perfect belly(years after Shilpa) which she has flaunted almost in evry scene. But the pairing doesn click.
Boman tries to support in second half. He is bit successful as movie is still bearable in second half. And the climax scene, who the hell was they thinking will laugh on scene when a laughing gas will be filled in Queens Hall and everyone will laugh. They should have put some Laughing Gas diffusers in theaters also.
Over all, if you compare the movie with Welcome, Singh is King, it doesn't stand a chance. But if you have not seen a movie since ages and just wanted to watch, can be seen once in Multiplex Morning shows for 80 Rs. I will not suggest to spend 150 Rs for this movie. But any way, its your pocket. :)
