Housefull 2 (2012)
7/10
Silly Yet Entertaining and Satisfying
6 April 2012
Warning: Spoilers
After several flops in a row and Desi Boys being a comeback for Kumar, he returns with Housefull 2: The Dirty Dozen. The film is the sequel to the only film from 2010 which was Akshay's successful film from that time. Plus, the film promises to provide twice the entertainment with a dose of action with the comedy and the drama is also provided which is a must. From 2012, other than Agneepath, Kahaani, Ek Main Aur Ek Tu, none of the other releases have impressed nor suceeded at the box office. However, starting from April more films will do well business and Housefull 2 is the start of this year's more successful films. Though the film won't be a super hit and obviously not a blockbuster, it will be a hit. The story is well narrated and the entertainment levels are high from every portion of the story. The subplots like the enemity of Akshay and John are like forms of extra entertainment to create that comedy magic people really want. But, there are flaws in the script like every other film in the history of Bollywood. The major flaw with the film is madness, and the silly portions like they end up in an island, the off the top idea of a resort and Akshay and John fight and their sudden friendship and their fall into the swimming pool. Like Housefull, Housefull 2 has gotten negative reviews but this time it is not double the negative for the mad film. There are several positive responses and the film will succeed. Akshay Kumar is the main formula to succeed the film. Though the film's performances are pretty good, Akshay is the star face that is required to make a successful film. He just needs to choose the right films and not have more dreadful times like the last 2 years and from 1997-1999. This year will be his year as he has many good though Rowdy Rathore looks silly it will do good business. Like I said, the dirty dozen entertain and this film will do good business though it is silly. But, even Salman Khan's ready was extremely silly and got horrible reviews but it became a hit. Don't judge a movie by the few reviews it gets. Go watch Housefull 2, I swear this film will not let people down. Though it's silly, it will be a decent entertainer. Overall, a decent film and it is another Akshay film which will help not only revive his career but extend his line of hit films which he desperately requires.
