In 2010, Sajid Khan, Akshay Kumar and Sajid Nadiadwala joined hands to give the audience a comedy of errors called Housefull. It was an ensemble cast that thrived on farce and frivolousness. It turned out to be Kumar's highest grosser of that time, after six consecutive failures. Two years later, in Housefull 2, the cast got bigger and the case of mistaken identities more confusing and chaotic.

And with the last Housefull, helmed by director duo Sajid-Farhad, which I personally enjoyed, it was clear Nadiadwala and Kumar want to create a franchise that can help them let their hair down and have a ball. Three years later, the team returns with Housefull 4, which has been described as India's first reincarnation comedy.
