"Housefull" is a Bollywood comedy film released in 2010, directed by Sajid Khan. It features an ensemble cast including Akshay Kumar, Deepika Padukone, Riteish Deshmukh, Lara Dutta, Arjun Rampal, and others.
The story revolves around a man named Aarush (played by Akshay Kumar) who seems to have a streak of bad luck in everything he does. Aarush is in love with a girl named Devika (played by Jiah Khan) and wishes to marry her. However, her father, Batuk Patel (played by Boman Irani), disapproves of Aarush due to his string of failures.
To change his luck and win over Devika's father, Aarush seeks the help of his best friend Bob (played by Riteish Deshmukh) and Hetal (played by Lara Dutta), a marriage counselor. Hetal suggests that Aarush should find true love in order to reverse his bad luck.
In his quest to find true love, Aarush encounters Sandy (played by Deepika Padukone), who is engaged to marry her childhood friend, Teddy (played by Arjun Rampal). Aarush concocts a plan to win Sandy's heart, leading to a series of comedic misunderstandings.
The plot further unfolds when Aarush, Bob, and Hetal end up in a mansion owned by Batuk Patel in London. The mansion is haunted by the spirit of a jilted lover, Parul (played by Jiah Khan in a dual role), who possesses Hetal's body. This creates a chaotic situation as Aarush and Bob try to deal with the spirit and keep their true identities hidden from Batuk Patel.
As the story progresses, Aarush's past encounters with Batuk Patel's family are revealed, adding to the confusion and comedic situations. More characters, including Batuk Patel's son, Aarush's father, and an Italian gangster, are introduced, further complicating the plot.
Throughout the movie, several song sequences are showcased, featuring colorful dance numbers and romantic moments. These songs contribute to the entertainment value and add to the narrative.
In the climax, the truth is finally revealed to all the characters, and misunderstandings are resolved. Aarush realizes the value of true love and tries to win over Devika once again.
"Housefull" was a commercial success at the box office and established itself as a popular comedy franchise in Bollywood. While the film received mixed reviews from critics, it was praised for its comedic performances, entertaining dialogues, and light-hearted entertainment.
