Akshay Kumar, Abhishek Bachchan, Ritish Deshmukh
To capitalize on goodwill around Frat-Boy Comedy, writer-producer Sajid Nadiadwala, this time, likes his boom droolry with a layer of mystery in the holiday season. Set on a luxury cruise ship, where a billionaire (Ranjit) dies and a doctor becomes silent, it really spirals in search of jolly on high seas. By the end, we face many contenders, but no muster passes. Sajid has once again placed a galaxy of stars with different watt capacity, but in the absence of a soft string of intelligent, the flash of intellect loses its glow.

He attracts to Tod Philips HangoverWhere temporary memory loss produces unexpected chaos, but the way it plays, Housefull 5 There is a hollow drama of words. Gags underlined his reception, and political misunderstanding and statusable humor that are hallmarks of franchisees are no longer fit into the story.
Director Tarun Mansukhani stumbles in advancing the unexpected tone set by Sajid Khan. Religion from school, Tarun produces a snuke, racist jokes on animal lovers, and loosen the camera on the crack, but his heavy approach resulted in low returns. It is like getting into the gutter with the belief that clothes will remain unexpected. The strand of suspense thriller is more powerful, but comic element does not serve it effectively.

Story: After dying on his luxury cruise, a billionaire becomes the heir, which thickens the air with suspense and comic chaos.
It has been 15 years since the original hit the turnstines. The characters are rusted and demanded revaluation. Chunky Pandey’s pasta is stale, and therefore is a tribute to Ranjit’s salty gestures. Although boys are no longer done, it is left for Akshay Kumar and Ritish Deshmukh, which is left to squeeze some pieces of comic relief from the corn dialogues written by Farhad Samaji. Masters of Slapstick, Akshay and Ritish can avoid flaws and troughs in storytelling. Abhishek Bachchan and Sanjay Dutt are not, but when Fardeen Khan is nearby, many people cannot exclude them in the ‘STIF’ competition. Shreyas Talpade and Johnny Lever display how to take maximum advantage of Clich, but they do not get enough screen time to demonstrate their talent.
Tarun wastes a lot of time on the screen Khaneak Chemistry between Jackie Shroff and Dutt, but it does not work. And Nana Patekar’s late entry fails to capitalize on the proceedings of tright.
As usual, the film is high on the glamor quotient, producing some thin veil sexual humor. However, jokes are not ground. It is difficult to expect to be fresh from Nargis Fakhri and Jacqueline Fernandez. Soundarya Sharma joined her league here. One feels that they are inserted into multi-starrs because their dates do not confront with male stars. Chitrangada Singh and Sonam Bajwa are better actors, but it is a platform that means a leg to be begged, screaming and shaking a leg.
