When they go to India to a place called Sitamgarh for their destination wedding, Harry finds that it has a connection to his and his loved ones' lives. He regresses back to his past life, where he was a haughty, vain, bald prince called Bala, who has been disowned by his own kingdom and wants to marry the princess of Sitamgarh.

Housefull 4 is the far the most opulent film in the franchise, because of its larger than life visuals and its Baahubali-invoking splendour. The quality of the humour remains the same though. There are a few gags that do amuse you, and Akshay Kumar is on a scene-stealing form. It is his antics, especially as Bala, that offer most opportunities to smile. But some of the sleazy jokes are made more embarrassing by the fact that the movie was earlier directed by Sajid Khan, who was a #MeToo accused.
