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

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.

The much awaited H3 has released.This film is more intelligent than the previous installments because this one has lots of slapstick humor ,instead of confusion of identities or double roles, the dialogues are cleverly written and are funny.On the hand the direction is functional or bad.But,the writing and performances by its lead cast are the saving graces of this film.The movie makes you laugh after every 10-5 minutes.This is a family film ,there is no double- meaning that's why kids also love this movie.I don't need to talk about the plot ,if you want to know,you can read it from the top.Performance wise Akshay,Abhishek & Riteish are fantastic.Action scenes are funny especially the climax which is hilarious.All in all H3 is worth your money. My rating--***/5.

A very nice start somewhere in the U K with 3 bad guys fighting against the police but finally get arrested

Now in this movie this is nothing what you think for everyone involved. Instead the only ignorant are the ...ladies .Even the father is not wha someone can think.

IN contrast to the remain movies the humor is rude The main actor has the double personality disorder a king of schizo acting between Sandy (the good )and Sunny (the bad ) Many crazy scenes encounter this split problem with the end acting against himself and his friends team Even the rascal-ling scenes are very funny (trying to show that the one is blind the other can't speak and Akshay performing the disabled) and nearly down to earth but a few times highly exaggerated

Although the story is good the story gets hollow and I got rather bored with nearly the same funs or insanities and closes relatively interesting There are many action scnes with the best in the end of the movie . Sons of the one man against the grooms with rather twisted and happy end.

Just another entertaining movie with noting more to offer 5/10.

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 !
