User Reviews

Jolly Bad

Sajid Khan should try his luck in Las Angeles. He made an Above Average which turned out to be a Block Buster than came Housefull which was plain average but again a block buster. Now with housefull 2 his wish to make disgusting movie is fulfilled. But again a super hit

This is the most confusing movie ever in world cinema. It makes a complete mockery of cinema. Their is no plot in the movie to discuss, but again this a brainless comedy. Now is this a comedy movie. It doesn't make you laugh in fact it is an acid test for your funny bone. If someone can laugh in this movie than he should not watch great comedy or he will die laughing.

Performance wise Akshay did the great job but lines are so bad that he won't make you laugh. John is not good at comedy but he tried his best. Ritesh is as he is. Shreyas is a good actor and he deserve better role. Pity here is that Rishi Kapoor who has just given an outstanding Do Dooni Chaar and Agneepath is given a worst character to play. Randhir Kapoor is an average actor but again his character is similar to Rishi's. Mithun is brilliant but he is not their to make you laugh. Boman has 10mins role. Sorry but no need to tell about actresses.

I wonder when will Sajid deliver flop as I want him to come back to hosting shows. But no time soon as he is delivering blockbusters. This movie is no better than some c grade comedies like Buddha mar Gaya or Chatur Singh.
