Bring together four of the successful stars of the past, four of them of the present, two of them who have just tasted success & two of them who want to be successful by being in this movie & you have yourself a movie called Housefull 2. A comedy written & produced by Sajid Nadiadwala. Direction is by Sajid Khan who made the prequel Housefull & enjoyed a good share of success.
The movie is a Hit as per figures tweeted by Taran Adarsh. Now why does that not surprise me. The movie has a star cast where in each one of them has a great amount of fan base, so its kind of obvious. On the opening day movie collected 14 Cr. ( 10 Cr is equal to 1 billion) & Next day 13.5 Cr. This makes it the second best opening of the year after Dharma Production's Agneepath. Sajid Khan surely is smiling. He also gave out the following figures as you can see below in the tweet.
#Housefull2 Thu + Fri + Sat *Overseas total* $ 1.9 million. USA $ 550,000, UAE $ 650,000, UK £ 262,123, Aus A$ 165,062, NZ NZ$ 77,502.After making the prequel Housefull, Sajid Khan was quick on his decision to make a sequel to it & franchise the movie. His decision has clearly served him well.

Out-of-nowhere-news: After this movie Akshay Kumar has decided to stop doing comedy (take a sigh of relief & continue reading). The movie is an out-an-out comedy, so do not expect for it to have any story or try to find any sense in it just like we did in Housefull. If you hold an appetite for such a movie I suggest you make a run for it.
