Housefull 3

The third film in the popular yet low-quality comedy franchise, Housefull 3 doesn't try much to impress. So it ends up with its predecessors in the Bollywood abyss where all bad movies go.

Sandy (Kumar), Bunty (Bachchan), and Teddy (Deshmukh) are in love with Ganga (Fernandez), Saraswati (Fakhri), and Jamuna (Haydon), respectively, mostly because they are the rich daughters of Batook (Irani), a Gujarati NRI with a bad sense of humor. Because things are rather messy and there are couple of skeletons up in the cupboard, Batook wants his daughters to marry some other blokes; so he refuses to meet their beaus. However, the daughters manage to introduce the trio to their father by asking them to fake some disability. So Sandy becomes a cripple, Bunty becomes a man with no voice, and Teddy pretends to be blind. So you get the idea how the jokes are formed and what ensues further in the plot, along with few slightly unnecessary side arcs.

While there is some good old average comedy here to chuckle at, the main problem with Housefull 3 is that it spends 2 hours in making fun of various disabilities, races, and languages, and then towards the climax tries to absolve itself with a confession. It's all good in light-heart, but the overall effect that it gives is mostly unpalatable.

That's it, there's not much else to say here as anyone who has seen any of the previous two films can deduce the story from what information I have provided. The three lead actors are funny to watch, compared to the female leads' performances; they are rather clumsy and pouty in their approach. Songs are dim and so are the montages.

BOTTOM LINE: Sajid-Farhad's Housefull 3 is nothing different from its predecessors and all it provides is few chuckles that may not be welcome in the type of country that India has now become (in the wake of Tanmay Bhatt's Snapchat video controversy). Wait for TV premiere and switch between channels during commercials.

Can be watched with a typical Indian family? YES

Not impressed! Boring comedy....storyline is so bad....nothing to say...one time watch...! But I love Akshay kumar till now in all these 3 intallments !

Touted to be the biggest laugh riot of this year, 'Housefull 3' has hit the theaters today The film that stars Akshay Kumar, Abhishek Bachchan, Riteish Deshmukh, Jacqueline Fernandez, Nargis Fakhri and Lisa Haydon has done a tremendous job throughout the movie. Not just them, but actors like Boman Irani and Jackie Shroff will also be seen in supporting roles. We just watched it, Its simply awesome. Akshaykumar's comic timing is superb and he nailed it. He is truly player of the Bollywood and he deserves his title. He is really too good throughout the movie. All the supporting cast has done a very job, We loved them all specially Ritesh and Abhishek, and I'm damn sure that you gonna love it. Boman Irani has also done a good job and he will make you to watch the movie. The leading ladies Jacqueline, Nargis and Lisa entertained a lot with their accent. The Aakhiri Pasta didn't impress the audience #I'm_joking. The film is totally family entertainer and We enjoyed each and every dialogues throughout the movie, the dialogues are really mind blowing, and you'll love it. A must watch film for all who loves comedy film. And I would say a fully #PAISA_WASOOL movie. Go and watch.

Housefull 3 is one of those movies for which "leaving your brain at home" is an understatement ..

The story and screenplay of the movie is pathetic ..80 % of the jokes are lame ..converting English phrases to Hindi and performing them, duh give us a break guys ..

The only saving grace of the movie was Akshay Kumar ..Lisa Haydon and Nargis Fakhri irritate you to the core.. Jacqueine,Abhishek,Riteish,Boman and Jackie supported Akshay ..

The expectations from the movie were high after watching the trailer but they were all shattered ..The first half is a big let down ..The second half tries to cover it(in some parts) but overall it failed ..

"No brainer comedies" have lost their space in today's cinema but the movies earn at the box office ..

Director duo Mr. Sajid-Farhad work is good. They enhance the comedy by their shot taking and narration style. Story is clumsy. Three girls, one fake astro prediction, three boys who pretend to be blind, cripple, and mute, a Don, his right men, under cover betrayal, all for sake of money. Screenplay also doesn't offer anything new. Dialogues by director duo are enjoyable but it is not consistent. If you can enjoy scene like a person, who wants to be a car racer, looses his winning race due to his car fuel finishes, because he couldn't had noticed it. Then he tries to run till finish line to win. If such type of scene make you smile rather than irritate then this movie offers such type of content in abundant. A girl literal translates English proverb in Hindi, like " Tum Thand Ki Goli Lo" for take a chill pill like one liners. All characters in the film have double side, like girls are humble in home but extra modern outside, all three lead male characters have to portray just opposite what they actually are, like footballer has to be cripple, car racer has to be blind and rapper has to be mute. Emotional angle in pre climax is very boring, even a so called sad song comes with funny visuals but then climax is enjoyable. Apart from dialogues another saver point is performance. Akshay Kumar as split personality 'Sundy' is hilarious. The way he had carried the body language of that Sundy is too good. Abhishek Bachchan as Bunty, is good. Ritesh Deshmukh as Teddy, is very good. All girls are just for glamour quotient. Boman Irani is fine. Jackie Shroff is impressive. He carries his look and personality in interesting way. Chanky Pandey is OK.
