Having missed the press show of the film, it was a tough job on my part to convince the multiplex staff to play this film which had no audience but just myself because I had to review this film.
While they almost decided to cancel the show, they finally kept it on as two couples came in for the show, confident of seeking solace in the empty hall. Now if that, my dear friends, hasn’t given you any idea of how the film is! Well! Read on.
The film narrates the tale, rather the tales of Rashi (Manisha Koirala) who is engaged to the famous novelist Shantanu Rai (Moammar Rana). She is unaware of all the girls who were present in Shantanu’s life before.
Then destiny plays a game bringing Rashi face to face with a situation when she loses her job and misses her train, the very same day. Here on, the narrative structure suggests two parts.

Since the time of the announcement of Mani Ratnam’s Raavan, curiosity about how India’s most accomplished filmmaker manages to do a modern day adaptation of the mythological epic, Ramayan, has known no bounds. Thankfully, Mani succeeds in his own inimitable way. His team’s painstaking hard work shows in every frame of the film and his actors help him raise the film’s bar.
The film opens with policemen killed at various places around Lal Maati, a small town in Northern India. This is followed by abduction of the local police chief Dev’s (Vikram) wife Raagini (Aishwarya Rai). The dreaded low cast tribal lord Beera (Abhishek) is behind the kidnapping.
Dev (Vikram) immediately gets hot on the trail of Beera with trusted lieutenant Hemant (Nikhil Dwivedi) and seeks the help of the jovial forest guard Sanjeevani (Govinda).
Beera knows the dense jungle like the back of his hand and is helped by the tribals, managing to stay just one step ahead of Dev and his team.
But as the cat and mouse chase proceeds between Beera and Dev, the initial hate of Raagini for Beera subsides. As Dev inches closer, the near maniacal Beera shows he has a heart too and Raagini almost loses hers to him. What follows after Beera and Dev come face to face forms the rest of the film.

Unabashed entertainment. That's what one expects from a team that comprises of the likes of Akshay Kumar, Sajid Khan and Sajid Nadiadwala. None of these three entities associated with 'Housefull' have made any pretensions of doing anything which is non-commercial. 
Due to this very reason, one can also expect that Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy would come out of their 'zone' (which means the likes of 'Rock On', Karthik Calling Karthik' etc.) and instead end up making something which is 'massy junta ki pasand'.
That's something on display at the very beginning of 'Houseful' with Sameer written 'Oh Girl You're Mine' that has newcomer Tarun Sagar pairing up with Alyssa Mendonsa and Loy Mendonsa.
Together they come up with a fun outing which doesn't quite rely on the lyrics and instead has a hook line (the song's title) which is a good enough reason to play the song all over again.

Rating:**1/2
The music of director Priyadarshan's children's film "Bumm Bumm Bole" mainly focuses on inspirational songs. Following the multi-composer format, the film's music is likeable, but the songs may not really go on to become chartbusters.
The movie, which stars child actor Darsheel Safary of "Taare Zameen Par" fame, is slated to release May 14. The soundtrack offers four originals.
The album opens with Shaan crooning the title track of the film. The song has a feel-good quality and Shaan's rendition makes it a decent hear. While it can't be called brilliant, it is certainly not bad.

 Beera Munda - Undisputed, Unlawful, Untamed (Abhishek Bachchan)
Dev Pratap Sharma - The Punisher, The Law, The Righteous (Vikram)
Ragini - Conscience, Beauty, Music (Aishwarya Rai Bachchan)
Synopsis:
TEN HEADS
TEN MINDS
A HUNDRED VOICES
ONE MAN
Did, such a man ever exist
Was' he Just a myth... or does he live even today...?
What is the line that divides Good from Evil..?
Do our understanding change when we look from the opponent's perspective...?
The bond between the hunter and the Hunted between the Captor and the Captive seems to be a bond of do or die... The tension between opposites often seems so electric, that it isolates them from the rest of the world, leaving just the two - All alone...
Are Ten Heads better then one...?
Is there a Ram inside Raavan?
And a Raavan Inside each of us??
RAAVAN is not a story. It is a world.
