Twist in the tale arises when they plan their wedding at a past kingdom-present royale hotel in India. Akshay kumar realises that he is reborn after 600years and came to place where he died. Was he killed? Are the dreams true? Now what he does? Will he able to marry his love interest? This forms the rest of the story
Artiste Performance
Akshay kumar carries the whole movie on his shoulders. Both the roles of a Funny cum sadistic King and a happy guy you forgets when he hears a loud noise were played very well. He uses his comedy timing perfectly and is very hilarious on screen.
Riteish Deshmukh is yet another big plus to the movie. Like in the Masti series he evokes a lot of laughs with his funny act. Bobby deol too has done a good job. The Hero trio is perfect and are very good on screen
All the female leads Pooja Hegde, Kriti Sanon and Kriti Karbandha look beautiful. These three too showed nice performance in their roles as princess and bring glamour to the screen.
Rana daggubati looks rugged in the flashback episodes and surprises you with his performance and look. Sharad Kelkar in Negative Shade looks good. Johnny Lever evokes few laughs. Rest of the cast are Ok.

Analysis
Movie starts on an interesting note where Akshay kumar gets dreams about being a king. His other two brothers doesn't have this problem. Till the flashback episode story runs on this thread with a Love track of these three.
Flashback episode delivers some good laughs but feels dragged. Few scenes could be trimmed to make it look even good. First half runs on heroines glam show and heros trying to make them fall in love in present and flashback episodes of them dying.
Whole first half has a roller coaster feeling. At times you are fully in laugh and at times you are bored. That is how it is. Interval bang is normal but given in a hilarious way which builds up the interest for the next half.
Second half delivers more entertainment compared to first half. It's Akshay kumar's show all the way. He generates many laughs in second half.
Only problem with the movie is after first half the movie has nothing to deliver in terms of story. So the director tried to cover it up with good entertainment. There is a sequence of around 15-20 mins in the climax which is a laugh riot.
Production values are lavish. Flashback episodes look grandeur. Music is good and Score is very well given. Cinematography is yet another big asset to the movie.
The brother thread between hero's has come out really well in terms of both emotional connect and entertainment. This trio has many hilarious episodes throughout the movie.
(MY) Final Word
Housefull 4 offers you good amount of entertainment with its mix of bad narration at places and dragged scenes. Thing is, this concept looks excellent on paper but due poor execution you may feel a bit bored at places. Leaving that apart, On the flip side H4 offers ample amount of entertainment. On the whole, Housefull 4 ends up as a Decent Entertainer

Note: This is my take on the movie. That is why I am not rating the movie. I respect each and every movie. Making people read my review and influencing them to form an impression of a movie before watching the movie is never my intention. I am a Movie lover too. This is just to express my view on the movie. 😊
