, and this time, Sajid"s Housefull will have a note paying tribute to directors of the 70s and 80s, some of whom include masterminds like Manmohan Desai, Prakash Mehra, Feroz Khan, Hrishikesh Mukherjee, K. Raghavendra Rao and Ravi Tandon.

Talking about this tribute, Housefull director Sajid Khan says, "Housefull is my humble homage to these directors. The films they"ve made have redefined Indian Cinema with 1 word ' entertainment. They made some of the most entertaining films of the 70s and the 80s."


😆

Nobody in their right minds would expect a kahaani like plot in Housefull 2. Infact, most don't even expect a plot. I don't know about H2 as i have not seen it, but generally speaking for 'mindless entertainers', how much mindless do they expect to get ??? They hit a new low with every film.

you know films like Hera Pheri, old golmaal, Andaz apna apna are also also pretty mindless Plot-wise but they were entertaining, quirky and genuinely funny. But the SHIT sajid khan makes is NOTHING. I never cracked a smile in housefull. How contrived, idiotic and stupid will they get saying, " we din't promise a plot, we are just entertaining"... Entertaining, my foot. I don't know what has happened to the audience. Their standard is just falling and falling.

And Taran should just STFU with his GYAAANNN!!!!

P.S: I need not mention this is my humble opinion. And yes, I do look down upon films Taran mentioned in his article.🤢

From this thread its obvious that no one minds watching a mindless but entertaining film. What I have a problem with is near worship of the masters of this genre we have been seeing the last couple of years. Taran Adarsh's article is once again an attempt at the similar worship of a new star-Sajid Khan.
Another problem with mindless fare is public taste is very fickle. The makers never know where they will land up next. Like Subhas Ghai was once the master of mindless fare. Now everyone would run miles away from his films.

you make an interesting point!

though, i would question the 'worship' syndrome! aajkal intellectuals ka zamaana hai ala aamir khan..

looking at the worst movies list and the overall disdain towards such comedies, where exactly is the worship for such genre? it's only the numbers at the box office that proves them otherwise!

you're right about the fickle part... but how do you expect quality cinema when general public (even on this board) is more focused about commercial actresses looking like barbie dolls?

I appreciate the intentions of mindless movies. They're meant for you to unwind with, after a rough patch, tiring day, or if you've just been feeling like shit lately.

I enjoy the mindless genre every now and then. Give me some hard hitting , well made cinema any day, but I don't really look down upon this brand of film making😃

But when these movies cross the line and get offensive, its a no go. Take Housefull 2 for example. They made fun of heart patients, dark-skinned people, dwarfs, and countless other shit...

don't they think people with heart conditions, dark skin, genetic disorders watch their movies as well? What do they get out of making them feel like shit

i prefer mindless genre over clothless genre😆
