Nikhil (Prosenjit Chatterjee) is in distress over his failures. His personal circumstances are in shambles and he has defaulted on most of his obligations. His assistant asks him to make a commercial film on the lines of a Tamil film to revive his career. He refuses and decides to make his own film by producing it himself. He convinces his father to mortgage their house. He receives a call from Subhash one day who provides him with finance, but in return he would have to accept the actress of the man's choice. Nikhil agrees and they start shooting with Sujata, better known as Nandita (Rimjhim Gupta). A series of explosions take place in the city and Subhash is accused. He is also Sujata's boyfriend. Sujata is arrested. The film meets the same fate as his other films. Nikhil finally agrees to make a commercial film.
Directed by Bappaditya Bandopadhyay, Houseful leans on a strong ensemble — Prosenjit Chatterjee, Ushasie Chakraborty, Rwita Datta Chakraborty — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 2009.
