Film: 'House Full'; Director: Hemanth Hegde; Cast: Diganth, Gowri Oak, Vishaka Singh, Hemanth Hegde, Lokanath, Ramesh Bhat and Rekha; Music: Kiran; Rating: ***

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.
