Review
100 percent entertainment and Zero percent bore! This is what the caption under the title ‘House Full’ says in the posters. But Hemanth Hegde disappoints in the first half and second half is quite impressive because of the confusing tactics he has used. In the second half it is a laugh riot! The strong story line and care for the first half could have saved the director Hegde from the downfall.
Diggu (Diganth) is a freeloader from his grandpa’s property while Parmi (Hemanth Hegde) is freeloader even without that status. Parmi is trying to catch a producer so that he can become a director of a film in that Diganth will be the hero. In that notion Parmi lives with his wife Aishwarya (Girija Oak) in the house of Diganth whose grandfather is a business tycoon in South Africa. Diggu is failing in his attempts to complete MBA and his grandfather sick of it wants to write the huge property for an orphan house. From here the foursome – Digu, Nithu his girl friend Aishwarya and Parmi make plans to win the heart of grand old man who is far away. They hatch plots that turn out to be cumbersome situation for them as grandfather decides to arrive to live in the house. The confusion created by servant by sending the photograph of Neethu (Girija Oak) wife of Parmi photograph to Digu’s grandfather mounts up further confusions. The grand old man finally traces the misadventure of his grandson who realizes at the end. Digu urge his grandfather to pardon him for various confusions and commotions but it happens the other way. Grandfather (played by Lokanath) give up his stern nature for the happiness of foursome.
Two lovely songs from debutant Kiran – Olavu Mididha Aa Kshana….O Premave…. are very melodious and cinematography by Magi Natesh is fabulous.
Good looking actors – Diganth, Girija Oak, Vishaka Singh, Rekha add value to the film and veteran like Lokanath, Ramesh Bhat have given a solid performance. Milind Gunanj is wasted and comedy of Sangamesh Upase has not worked out. Director Hemanth Hegde playing the important role of partner to Girija Oak cuts a sorry figure.
This one is good in bits and pieces!
Hemanth Hegde's "House Full" is a complete comical entertainer. The second half is well narrated, while the first part has some dull moments. But on the whole, the film is a lively package.
"House Full" starts as a comedy of errors and goes on till the confusions are sorted out. But there seems to be a sense of urgency seen in the climax as the end is quite abrupt. But "House Full" has lot of comical turns that provide a hearty laugh.
Hegde proves to be a major highlight in the film as an actor too. He has written the story and dialogues apart from being the director.
"House Full" is definitely his best best work compared to his previous films that lacked substance. Perhaps his stint in Bollywood where he directed "Khanna and Mrs. Iyer" for Mukta Arts might have helped him add some style and glitz.
But "House Full" has flaws in the first half. Hegde includes some unnecessary situations that are neither comical or logical. They look like they have been added just to enhance the film's length. But for these loosely knit situations, the film could have been better.
Another minus factor of the film is the music, which is just average.
"House Full" centres around two irresponsible friends Diganth and Parameshi who dream of a big debut in the film industry. Parameshi is a parasite who lives off Diganth's riches. He is married to Neetu, an aspiring star in the making, and Diganth is in love with a girl named Aishu.
Diganth's grandfather is in South Africa and wants his grandson reformed. Diganth lies to his grandfather that he is married to Aishu. A confusion is created by Diganth's deputy Pani Puri, who mails Neetu's photo to the grandfather instead of Aishu's photo.
And then the whole confusion starts with each of the four characters placed in many strange situations.
Hegde shows off his acting talents and Diganth too has done well in his role. He seems to have got a flair for doing comedy-oriented films. The heroines Vishaka Singh and Gowri Oak have also done a pretty good job and add some glamour to the film.
Veteran actor Lokanath steals the show in the role of Balavanta Rao. The other senior character actors don't disappoint either.
The film is made with a limited budget, but has turned out to be an enjoyable entertainer.
