I think Rohit Shetty is a better director of comedies than Sajid Khan. Going by the evidence of Bol Bachchan versus Housefull 1 and 2. This borrows some ideas from Golmaal, the classic comedy made by Hrishikesh Mukherjee who for me was one of our finest.
This is not a classic, but it worked for me. The acting and direction, the timing etc. was very good. It would have been even better had the chases and fights not been there, or had been replaced by a subtler twist. But then, Mukherjee or (Basu) Chatterjee are tough acts to follow. The effort is commendable, and the Delhi audience (Nehru Place) seemed to enjoy it.
Ajay Devgan, Asin, Abhishek, all acted well. Archana Puran Singh plays a role Dina Pathak played in Gol Maal, of a hired pretend-mother. The dialogues of the original, and the funny attempts at speaking English by Ajay are really well done. Asrani has a good role too. There is a literal cliffhanger at the end. Music is Ok, not great.

It is, in deed, enjoyable nonsense.
