Laughing gas that makes you weep - Housefull!

Sajid Khan's career as a TV anchor, who had pungent criticisms of hamming and copying in Hindi films, is far behind him! These days he is the director of super-hit films, and man who scorns critics and calls the viewers the only critics he cares for. After an unacknowledged, albeit highly successful, down-market and low brow rip-off of Three Men and a Baby (is that even possible?), Sajid returns with his self-avowed biggest film of the year in Housefull! This time he stays away from any accusations of plagiarism by copying scenes, plot-lines, dialogs, from so many films that your head is in a whirl trying to keep them all duly accounted for. At some point you throw your hands up and simply stop counting. But honestly, what can one expect, when the producer (Sajid Nadiadwala) goes on the debut show being hosted by a leading box office analyst, and tells him his film is unique and ground breaking because while there have been tales with mixups with two wives in the past, they have now introduced a unique element, a third wife!!!!! It reminded me of how comic genius plays with stuff like that - there was the famous SEVEN minute abs sequence in Something About Mary!! Have a look:


However, this was said with a completely straight face and in all seriousness by Mr. Nadiadwala, as he and Mr. Nahata went on a mutually congratulatory spree.

So there we have it - it is a unique tale of a man who is a LOSER, a panauti (and we are never allowed to forget this). He is employed by a casino to sweep in and sweep out the good luck of the customers! He proposes to a girl (Malaika Arora in a strangely dentured look) and is rejected soundly, marries the casino owner's daughter (a strangely and shapelessly buxom Jiah Khan), breaks up with her, tries to drown himself, is saved by an Amazon of a girl (Deepika Padukone), who falls in love with him, has to pretend to be married to a third girl (Lara Dutta), and so on and so forth.

Along the way we have innumerable copied scenes - the wrecking of an apartment by a wayward vacuum cleaner (a la Mr. Bean), the tiger in the house (Hangover), the slapping monkey (Night at the Museum), the lie detector tests (Meet the Parents), wife swapping (last seen in All The Best), near identical beach and ocean vistas in romance (Bacha Ae Haseeno), the gay jokes (Kal Ho Naa Ho), Lilette Dubey as the aging sex-starved woman (Kal ho Naa Ho), and there is even a random baby thrown into the mix (Heyy Babyy?)!!! There are the obligatory songs that sounded quite good by themselves, but alas do not get any justice in the film.

Is there anything unique in tthis product? Yes, there are several poor jokes, and several jokes in really poor taste. Those can be attributed to Sajid Khan, unless he sees films I have not been able to catch. The incessant slapping between the leads and Boman does not start out funny, and degenerates into the realm of distasteful after about 6 repeats. Buckingham Palace is turned into Uckingham Palace - when Santa is told by Banta to Be SILENT! Phone in Tub becomes Phone TUBBLE, and a black baby is a piece of "Dambar" (Tar). Sajid's respect for his audience's IQ is quite evident when the baby (a ploy to get Boman Irani from India to London) is speedily removed from the scene and no one cares any more. And it really dawns on us that this man is either an idiot or thinks we are, when coolant is replaced by laughing gas and causes an entire hall to burst into uncontrollable laughter for 15 minutes. Coolant? Is that not supposed to go into some cooling coils in an AC unit? Unless Sajid was thinking gas chamber, and by the time this episode rolls around, that option does not seem so bad.

Housefull – How big a loser are you?

Akshay Kumar, depressed with his life, swims for a very long time, until he gets tired and tries to commit suicide by drowning himself. Deepika Padukone, just like Clint Eastwood in Spaghetti Western films, comes out of nowhere, lifts him up and carries him towards the shore that is some miles away. And we call Akshay Kumar a Khiladi!!!!

The film starts with the most hilarious disclaimer of the decade. Sajid Khan mentions the names of 5 very important directors in Bollywood who have influenced him to direct films. And that includes Hrishikesh Mukherjee. Heyy babyy and Hrishikesh Mukherjee? HouseFull and Hrishikesh Mukherjee? Ohhhh, that was joke as the film is supposed to be a comedy. Such is the humor in the film that you yourself would need to find out the humorous moments if you want to laugh as the film hardly is humorous.

This is hardly an Akshay Kumar kind of comedy. If you want to watch Akshay Kumar kind of comedy, I think you are better off watching Jaane Kahaan Se Aayi Hai. He manages to make you laugh more in his two and half minutes special appearance than this two and half hours long film. Being a fan of his comic timings and his work in films like Mr. and Mrs Khiladi, Garam Masala, Bhool Bhulaiya, this one surely is a disappointment. The film mainly belongs to the ‘Timepass’ genre films which Sajid or Farah makes. While Farah tries to spoof The Matrix, Karz, Madhumati, Youtube videos in her films and manages to get some laughs, Sajid Khan straightaway copies them with no intention of even spoofing if he can’t get original. He plays the game of wife swapping in the film, something we just saw 6 months ago in All The Best. The game is not even half as funny in Housefull as in All The Best.

Five years ago, filmmakers in India started to feel that a film that does not have the King Khan has to have an item song to make it a hit. The latest trend in ‘Timepass-Filmmaking’ says a film has to have some gay humor in it. Housefull tries having both of them. And since it is a Sajid Khan film, he does not even try putting in efforts in the item song. Instead he simply took up an old Bollywood hit number and remixed it. Though it is wonderfully sung song by Mika, IMO, who manages to keep the craziness alive in the song, the video is very disappointing, thanks to the Arjun Rampal. For most of the film Arjun Rampal plays an angry man with one expression on his face, and for once he was asked to enjoy and he ends up ruining a song, How can one fail to get the right expressions in that song? It should have come out naturally given that song is so crazy. The video really missed the craziness I was expecting it to have.

Dhanno (Apni Toh Jaise Taise) Housefull Song promo

Dhanno (Apni Toh Jaise Taise) Housefull Song promo

Jaane Kahan se aayi hai - Nikhat Kazmi review 3.5 stars!!

Film: Jaane Kahan Se Aayi Hai
Cast: Riteish Deshmukh, Jacqueline Fernandes, Ruslaan Mumtaz, Sonal Sehgal, Vishal Malhotra
Genre: Romance
Direction: Milap Zaveri
Duration: 2 hours 8 minutes
Critic's Rating: 3.5 stars

Story : Born loser, Riteish Deshmukh has a major problem. Girls tend to look away when he's around. So much so, he wonders if he'll ever find love. His troubles are compounded when he falls in love with Tara (Jacqueline Fernandes), an alien from Venus. Why would she be attracted to a mere clapper boy like him, when there's superstar Desh (Ruslaan Mumtaz) around?

Movie Review: It's light, breezy, buoyant and actually funny, now and then. More importantly, Jaane Kahan Se Aayi Hai makes up where Aladin flopped: it showcases some cosy chemistry between Gujju goner, Riteish Deshmukh and alien beauty, Jacqueline Fernandes who serenade each other with smiles, giggles, snuggles and a lot of silly banter. And if that's not enough, there's the boyz bandobast too: the funky friendship between loser number one, Riteish and loser number two, Vishal (he's on fire), the friend with the yen for the pink pussycat!

Riteish, who leads a protected life with his Gujju parents, the delightful Satish Shah and Supriya Pilgaonkar, loses his heart to Sonal Sehgal, the assistant film director who works on the same sets as him. But Sonal sadly looks at him as a mere friend. Truly, it's a typical Sad Sack story for our slack hero, until the super hot Venutian, Tara, literally falls from from the sky. She's come looking for love on a two nights-three days touristy trip to terra firma. Naturally, it's our gallant good-for-nothing, Riteish and his equally unlucky friend, Vishal who end up as her tourist guides, as she tries to find true love with superstar, Desh (Ruslaan Mumtaz) who relentlessly throws cheesy pick-up lines at her.

Going Solo - Interview with Riteish Deshmukh

Actor Riteish Deshmukh, 31, gives out a slew of interviews at director Nikhil Advani’s Bandra office terrace. Sitting hunched at a table, he answers queries on his first solo film in seven years, Jaane Kahaan Se Aayi Hai, which releases on April 9. Riteish studied architecture in Mumbai to practice it in New York. He is still a partner in a Mumbai architecture firm called Evolutions. He also belongs to what can politically be called one of Maharashtra’s first families. His father, Vilasrao Deshmukh, former chief minister of Maharashtra, is now a central minister. Elder brother Amit is an MLA. After his interviews, Riteish lets us into an office. He sits back and talks passionately for one hour with RISHI MAJUMDER — about politics and architecture. And why he chooses cinema over these. 

Excerpts:

Are you connected to your lineage? What does Latur mean to you?
Latur means everything to me. I keep going back to Latur and the Maharashtrian traditions I have been brought up with. My family culture is very much like the Congress culture. There is no exclusivity. We go to the temples as well as the mosques in and near my village. I was born in Latur and came to Mumbai when I was five. From then, till I was about 23, every vacation was spent in Latur. I’ve played in mud, climbed trees, milked cows, run around in puddles and put firecrackers in cow dung to watch it explode. I’ve done everything a village boy could do, even though I grew up in Mumbai. There were always both worlds.

Do you worry your image — doing sex comedies — may affect your family’s image?
As long as my family knows what I’m doing, they’re not going to ask questions later. Kyaa Kool Hai Hum was a sex comedy. Apna Sapna, Money Money and Masti also had a lot of sexual innuendo. I enjoyed doing them. People loved them, though some might not have appreciated that sense of humour. Today, I will not do a sex comedy. At the start of my career, not many people knew who I was. But today, lots of people, especially kids, have enjoyed my films like Heyy Babyy and Dhamaal. This makes me feel responsible towards them.

What have you inherited from your parents?
Patience. The waiting game. We’re never in a hurry.

How do you manage your relationship with your father under the public eye? Would you like to react to what happened post 26/11?
Yes. I have to watch how I project my relationship with my father. The reaction post 26/11 was maybe because of the glamorous profession I come from. But also because it was a sensitive time. TV channels are a one-way platform. If two people think something is wrong, they broadcast that opinion on to a thousand people. It was the television channels who actually said ridiculous things like I went for a film recce. But I don’t want to defend this. The media reacted the way they had to. If my presence [at the Taj with Ram Gopal Varma] after the attacks hurt anyone, I am sorry.
‘My family culture is very much like the Congress culture. There is no exclusivity. We go to temples as well as mosques’

Your firm has sizeable work. As a movie star, where do your priorities lie?
Films have been my priority. I started my firm with a few friends who look after it. Whenever I get a chance, I go and update myself. It’s a way to be in touch with architecture. I get into designing more on the ideation level than the detailing. I have designed a multiplex in Aurangabad, which I’m proud of. It’s an entire cube, which is slightly tilted. It’s modernistic, and to do that kind of building in Aurangabad was a big deal.

Does your political background affect life in films?
No. Of course people were conscious of who I was when I started out, but they had to deal with it, not me. See, if you think whatever roles or friends I’ve got, I’ve got because… [pauses] When I came in, they were going to judge this ‘chief minister’s son’ who’s come to act. So that baggage was there. All I could do was work. With time, if I was good, I would be good. If I was bad, I would be bad. And if I was ugly, I would be ugly.

You’re the only Maharashtrian who is a Bollywood icon. Yet you refrain from reacting to divisive statements like those made by the MNS or Shiv Sena.
I’m proud to be a Maharashtrian because I’m born in a Marathi family. I’m proud of my language and my literature — just as a Gujarati would be. I’m even prouder to be an Indian. You have to see where I come from. I am not just an actor, but also the member of a political house. I often refrain from making political statements because what I say will stand for my family’s ideology. But I made an exception for the controversy around My Name Is Khan because it’d make a difference. I said, “My name is Deshmukh. And I stand by My Name Is Khan.”

Do you have a problem with dynasty politics?
No. Because it’s not something that can be ‘wrong’ or ‘right’. There are new people who are entering politics, and there are people from the dynasties. Why can’t we let people choose? We’re a democracy. We have seen great leaders fall. My father has won and lost elections. Today my brother has won. Tomorrow, if people don’t like him, he’ll lose. And in a democracy, if people are happy voting for a dynasty, who are we to decide?

And when those not part of a dynasty are deprived of a ticket?
[Raises his voice] Let me ask you this. If a candidate is deserving, then why should he not be given a ticket because he is someone’s brother? Because of cases where non-deserving candidates have been given tickets, why should a deserving candidate be denied one just because he or she belongs to a dynasty?

Why shy from politics?
I’m in a different profession. I love politics. I enjoy it. But it has to be full-time. It has to be the only thing you do, to be successful at what you’re doing. You have to grow in politics. Please don’t be mistaken that if tomorrow I come into politics it’ll be an easy thing. Who am I? You have to work hard, and figure out things right from the grassroots.
