That\u2019s the predominant emotion raging through me as I walk out of the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/pop-culture\/last-show-chandan-cinema-mumbai-single-screens\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">theatre<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, having endured the 145-minute-long assault on sanity, common sense, and the art of storytelling that is <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Housefull 4<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. One of Bollywood\u2019s most profitable film franchises, the last three Housefull films have collectively raked in over \u20b95,000 million. And if the delighted whoops and shouts of laughter that echoed in the auditorium at the morning show were anything to go by, that eyebrow-raising number is likely to balloon as the movie reels in the hopped-up-on-sugar Diwali crowd. We\u2019ve burned through almost a fifth of the 21st century \u2014 let this sink in for a minute: babies born at the turn of this millennium are already (hopefully) voting adults \u2014 and yet our understanding of what constitutes mass humour is couched comfortably in crass innuendo, exaggerated accents, ill-conceived transphobic jokes, oafish behaviour, and a coarseness of thought that is, frankly, depressing at this point.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\n\n<i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Housefull 4<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, much like its predecessors, is a collection of cringe-worthy jokes stitched into a completely brainless plot that further meanders into increasingly bizarre subplots. The only silver lining, if one can even call it that, is that it is not <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">as<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> terrible and offensive as it <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">could have been<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and probably would have been, had original director Sajid Khan not been implicated in multiple <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/pov\/why-has-metoo-scared-every-man\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">#MeToo<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> accusations. The makers of the film seemed to have made a visible attempt to tread a little lightly on overtly sexist humour \u2014 at least in comparison to the previous three instalments. For a full 15 seconds, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Housefull 4<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2019s three leading ladies are even allowed to snap out of their two default \u2014 deer-in-headlight and prop \u2014 modes and become warrior princesses defending the honour of their kingdom. Such feminist. Much wow.\u00a0<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The film begins with brothers Harry (Akshay Kumar), Roy (Riteish Deshmukh), and Max (Bobby Deol) falling in love with sisters Kriti (Kriti Sanon), Pooja (Pooja Hegde), and Neha (Kriti Kharbanda) and soliciting their father Thakral\u2019s (Ranjeet) blessings to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/social-commentary\/technology-love-sex-relationships-procreation\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">marry<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> them. Thakral \u2014 a man so creepy and lecherous he can probably make even the women in the audience feel a little violated \u2014 disapproves of these middle-aged men romancing these \u201caadhi umar ki ladkiyan\u201d, but swiftly agrees when his daughters are saved by said middle-aged men from running horses. And by saved I mean these damsels find themselves incapable of moving out of the way of galloping horses until a manly man pulls them out of harm\u2019s way. A family \u201cgola\u201d (globe) is summoned and the gola decrees the three destination weddings will be held in Sitamgarh in India.\u00a0<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once in Sitamgarh, Harry is transported to 1419, and remembers his previous birth as the awful Prince Bala. Most of the first half is dedicated to an elaborate flashback involving Bala\u2019s ploy to woo the eldest princess of Sitamgarh \u2014 Madhu, who reincarnates as Kriti in the present day. Along the way he encounters Dharamputra, the present-day Max (get it, Dharam Putra?) and Bangdu, or Roy, who fall in love with Princess Madhu\u2019s two younger sisters Meena and Mala. The three couples are killed just before they\u2019re married, and have ostensibly reincarnated to finish their incomplete <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/bollywood\/10-years-of-love-aaj-kal-break-up-exes-saif-ali-khan-deepika-padukone-imtiaz-ali\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">love stories<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. But there\u2019s a twist \u2014 Harry, Max, and Roy have paired up with the <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">wrong girls<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> from the past, and since only Harry knows the truth of their rebirth, it is now up to him to convince the remaining five that they are not in love with the person they think they\u2019re in love with.\u00a0<\/span>\n\n<blockquote class=\"quote--center\"><p>Because what\u2019s a <i>Housefull<\/i>  film without at least some degree of grossness?<\/p><\/blockquote> \n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To be fair to the film, that could have been a funny premise. While Bollywood is no stranger to punar janam, this could have been an entertaining tangent to a much-exploited trope. <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Housefull 4<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> also has a couple of surprisingly earnest performances. Kriti Sanon tries valiantly to lift the film despite the limitations of her role and the script, and her scenes make for some of the most bearable portions of the film. Rana Daggubati\u2019s rage-fuelled Gama makes you flinch with fear every time he appears on screen, but it\u2019s a shame that he\u2019s been made to look like a poor second copy of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/humour\/game-of-thrones-ending\/\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Game of Thrones<\/span><\/i><\/a><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2019<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Khal Drogo.\u00a0<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But every last glimmer of potential is quickly squashed under a barrage of unfunny jokes that range from asinine to insensitive. One recurring \u201cjoke\u201d is the lewd half-burp-half-grunt sound that Thakral lets out every time he looks at a woman who isn\u2019t his <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/modern-family\/k-pop-band-bts-army-mother-daughter-relationship\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">daughter<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Another includes hiring actors who vaguely resemble the British royal family to dance with the three couples \u2014 a sequence that ends with Harry planting a kiss on the Queen\u2019s mouth. Yet another involves pigeon and pig poop. It would have been okay if the makers had limited themselves to more of such witless jokes, but sadly, that\u2019s not the case.\u00a0<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Because what\u2019s a <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Housefull<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> film without at least some degree of grossness? A major sub-plot of the movie revolves around an ageing \u2014 and somewhat pitiful \u2014 Johnny Lever going from a weirdly accented hotel manager, Winston Churchgate, to a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/social-commentary\/what-its-like-to-be-a-transperson-house-hunting-in-cosmopolitan-mumbai\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">transperson<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> who constantly harasses and molests Chunky Pandey\u2019s Akhri Pasta \u2014 who is possibly the most irritating character in the film. Naturally then, words like \u201cnamard\u201d (not a man), accompanied by penile humour and sheepish guffaws, get thrown around liberally. Worse, Princess Meena tricks Dharamputra into marrying her by pretending that he raped her in a drunken stupor. And then there are the three women who literally have just one job \u2014 to grin coquettishly as Thakral <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">lecherously stares at them<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">! Not to mention the scores of blonde women who magically appear to gyrate suggestively in skimpy clothes behind Akshay Kumar whenever he breaks into a dance, even if the year is 1419.<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">From the first frame to the last, everything about <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Housefull 4<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> screams \u201cwhy\u201d. It\u2019s pointless to ask why Bollywood is still making such atrocious films, but why on earth are we still watching them? No one knows why <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/people\/akshay-kumar-bollywood-birthday-gold\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Akshay Kumar<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> does what he does, but why are promising actors like Sanon, Daggubati, and Nawazuddin Siddiqui \u2014 he makes a late special appearance \u2014 sullying their legacies-in-the-making? The sad part is, while the sane-minded among us grapple with these questions, the powers-that-be at Nadiadwala Grandsons Entertainment and Fox Star Studios are probably green-lighting the fifth instalment, with Kumar leading yet another group of 40 and 50-something men crudely hitting on 20-something women, in yet another outlandish setting.
