Review Housefull is well written situational comedy movie. It is not out and out comedy but it has lots of comedy sequences. Sajid s scripting and direction is superb. 'Housefull' is expected to relax you with its bone tickling comedy giving respite to the audiences from the scorching heat this summer. --platform47.com About the Actor Akshay Kumar was born as Rajiv Hari Om Bhatia on the 9th September 1967 in Amritsar to a middle class Punjabi household. His father was a government worker. He grew up in Delhi and later in Mumbai s Koliwada area. He did his schooling at the Don Bosco School and his college years were spent in Khalsa College, where he showed an inclination for sports. He studied martial arts in Bangkok while working as a chef. He came back to Delhi to teach martial arts when one of his students suggested he try his hand in modeling, which led to an offer to act in Deedar as the lead actor. Akshay was linked with several of his co-stars like Raveena Tandon, Shilpa Shetty, Pooja Batra and even Rekha. He is currently married to actress turned entrepreneur Twinkle Khanna and they have a son Araav.Akshay Kumar didn t grab any headlines with his debut Saugandh in 1991. Deedar, Dancer and Khiladi were released in 1992. With Khiladi being one of the biggest hits of the year. In 1993, he came out with atleast six movies all of which fell flat. But he more than made up for it in 1994 with hits like Mohra with Raveena Tandon, Yeh Dillagi with Kajol and Saif Ali Khan and Mein Khiladi Tu Anari with Saif Ali Khan and Shilpa Shetty. He received a nomination for the Filmfare Best Actor award for his romantic role in Yeh Dillagi.He tried his hand in the comedy stream quite successfully in 2000 with Hera Pheri, which was a laugh riot. Dhadkan with pal Suneil Shetty and Shilpa Shetty also was a good performer at the box office. In 2006 he starred in a sequel to Hera Pheri titled Phir Hera Pheri. As was the former, the sequel became a huge success at the box office. He established himself as a successful comedy actor with a series of comedy releases.2007 proved to be Kumar's most successful year during his career in the industry, and as described by box office analysts, "probably the best ever recorded by an actor, with four outright hits and no flops." Singh Is Kinng was a huge success at the box office and broke the first-week worldwide record of Om Shanti Om, the previous highest figure. He also made a debut on the small screen with Fear Factor India.

HOUSE FULL
GREAT DRAMEDY (drama/comedy) Starts off with Akshay Kumar being unemployed except for any casino hiring him as a hex of good luck to the gamblers. All in the first 20 min or so you see him have hit after hit of bad luck. He is so depressed after losing his latest girlfriend (they all meet with very bad luck when he starts to date them ) he decides to go back to London and see his old friend who has always been their for him no matter how bad things are. Unknown to our poor hero his friend has married a girl against her families wishes and they have been cut off by her father(( she constantly leaves messages on the voicemail to her daddy but he coldly ignores her breaking her heart)) Enter Akshay to his friends life and home . With his old key he let's himself in and is sleeping upstairs when the new couple come home to smooch it up for their anniversary, very funny moments while Akshay's bad luck pops up . The next morning while he tries to make it up to them by cleaning the house, he visits destruction upon them again. Watch for the two pradas and some "shocking moments " lol. Very funny. Lots of situational humor in this one.New plan . In self defense his friend decides that they need to get him married and he will have a Karma change. Bad plan. Waiting on his bed for his bride to come out, he falls asleep. The next 10 min are a very amusing dream sequence honeymoon night. When he wakes up he's still dressed and it's morning .He goes on the beach looking for his day old bride and she shamelessly introduces the real reason she married him, her real love, now she can be married to the man she really wants and she will control her fortune too. She will send the divorce papers to him in two weeks....He just can't take this any more ...he walks into the water with his marriage clothes on to die. Enter our Sandy gorgeous , determined and full of love and life, she pulls him from the depths of the ocean and the palpable despair he's been living in. She is told by the hotel jokester that he was widowed that morning . Sandy feels bad for him and ask's him to lunch , they hit it off . She's as sweet as he is . All is not yet smooth our young heroine finds out her new love Akshay is married and believes he is toying with her heart. He just can't get a break .His love has decided to trust him but he has to ask her brother for her hand. Her brother is a walking polygraph anti terrorist commando cop . He needs to impress her brother but he is out of work and he has inadvertently caused his best friend and wife some serious home damage , they all decide to rent a big mansion to impress their respective families with and get them to show for specific dates only. They can't afford it for more than a few days. (this is a dramedy so of course they change the plans on them) . The only two available to see the estate agent that day are Akshay and his "sister n law" (friends wife) . The estate owner will only rent to them if they are married so to hurry this along they just say yeah they are married. Enter Sister n law's Daddy. He hasn't met his son in law yet and now he is being pointed out by the estate owner as Akshay. Oh what a web we weave . All sister in laws lies are causing a hilarious mess . This is a fun web , Feel free to get ensnared and enjoy the hilarious moments of nonstop laughs and tears behind every door in this very full house. I would rather read every subtitle in the universe than be subjected to any more souless Zombie techno crap from hollywood that lacks investment in the character. If we don't care about the character than why would we watch it , remember it, or recommend it... Akshay Kumar's eyes deliver. The silly elation of new love, hope or despair, the joy of acceptance of ones family ...He connects with us on every level. Keep the hits comming King Kumar.

Only 1 DVD and that was not the full movie - don't waste your money!
I just got around to watching this, past the date for a return. It was advertised as a 3-DVD set and even the director has a clip telling how wonderful it is to have the extras. There was only 1 DVD with the movie in the box. The quality wasn't that great either. Bootleg??It's a shame because the movie was funny. I kept thinking that Steve Carrell would be perfect for an American remake.Also it only ran 2 hrs 20 minutes, but the original time length is 2 hrs 35 minutes. It did seem to be a bit chopped.Don't waste your money here.

A Housefull Show!
Aarush (Akshay Kumar) is that badnaseeb whose very presence makes things go haywire for those around him. When he finally marries a girl, he thinks his run of bad luck will end. In fact, it begins with renewed vigour as she leaves him for an Italian and off goes Aarush into the deep seas of Italy where he is saved by another beauty. Has he found his love? Has his streak of bad luck ended? It is this thin premise that Sajid hangs his entire comedy on.This is one more of those 'leave your brains behind' flicks. Frankly, if you do try to stop looking for logic, you may have a blast. The gags are situational and hilarious at times. On other occasions, they do draaaaaaag!Akshay Kumar has to sleep walk through this role. Riteish Deshmukh, as usual, once again provides hilarious support. It is left to the babes to bring in some zing to the tale. Jiah Khan sizzles and more. Sadly, her role is short. However, she slams hard to make an impact and put the other two girls in the shade. I wonder what would have happened if there was more of Jiah with Lara Dutta and Deepika Padukone.

Need English Subtitles
Just signed up for Eros through Amazon Prime and I'm already disappointed. More of their movies need English subtitles.

Funny Movie
Ein genialer Film für eingefleischte Bollywood-Fans! Die Darsteller sind - jeder in seiner Rolle - super! Indisches "Getue" wie es leibt und lebt. Ich liebe es! Ganz toll sind auch die beiliegenden Bonus-DVDs. Alleine das Making Off dauert fast 4 Std. und ist recht amüsant. Alles in allem super Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis. Die Untertitel gibt es nur auf Englisch, wobei die Übersetzung sehr gut gelungen ist.
