==Reception==
===Critical response===

''Housefull'' was received mixed review, with a reviewer for [[Sify]] giving a neutral review and stating that it was a "meek entertainer, which treads along a rather safe path".<ref>{{cite web|title=Review: House Full|url=http://www.sify.com/movies/house-full-review-malayalam-15020574.html|archive-url=https://archive.today/20130411200644/http://www.sify.com/movies/house-full-review-malayalam-15020574.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=11 April 2013|publisher=SiFy|accessdate=19 February 2013}}</ref> Now Running gave the film two out of five stars, marking the film as "average".<ref>{{cite web|title=Review: Full House|url=http://www.nowrunning.com/movie/10476/malayalam/housefull/4109/review.htm|publisher=Now Running|accessdate=19 February 2013}}</ref> Sreenath Nair of ''[[The Hindu]]'' was critical of the film, citing that there were "no situations in the script and screenplay by Shiju Nambiath which offer the director a challenge. The duo walks down the much-tread and familiar story lanes to reach a commonplace end".<ref>{{cite web|title=Struggling for a full house|url=http://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/tp-national/tp-kerala/struggling-for-a-full-house/article4424092.ece|work=The Hindu|accessdate=23 February 2013}}</ref>
