Rating: * * 1/2
Welcome to the world of Arush and his family – a family filled with people who believe that a lie if said for one’s well-being and betterment is not considered one. Yes, that seems to be the theme of the movie.
So, is it just another movie that deals with lies and confusion? In a way, yes, but Sajid Khan renders his magic of goofy, slapstick and witty humour to the movie. You don’t require an IQ of 173 to understand that there is virtually no plot in the movie. The movie has funny situations which at times reach the peak of exaggeration. In the movie, Akshay is one unlucky fellow who is famed for his bad stroke of luck. The movie tracks his stay with his best friend Riteish, his love encounters with Malaika, Jiah and Deepika and the confusion that follows.
Was I disappointed? No! A couple of genuinely funny moments, witty dialogues, goofiness, funny faces to make the children laugh, passable music and good locales made me feel good. Boman, Riteish and Akshay have decent individual screen time. I didn’t expect anything from the leading ladies but style and oomph. Arjun Rampal is suave as expected and Chunky Pandey delivers the goods too!
So you see, I got exactly what I expected. A decent movie featuring a house full of funsters!
Oh God how can any body give the title HOUSE OF FUNSTERS to this movie. As I feel the movie is really pathetic it should have been called HOUSE OF BOREDOM in reality. The first half of the movie is really intolerable and later on just the second half can be called as comparatively less boring. In addition to weak story line the movie also loacks good songs.
