Just like the first two films, a sprawling mansion in London is the setting for the comedy. Batuk Patel ( Boman Irani) is a rich Indian businessman with three beautiful daughters - Ganga, Jamuna and Saraswati - who can never be married because of a family curse. Determined to get rid of the very thought of marriage from his daughters' minds, Patel consults his friend Aakhri Pasta ( Chunky Pandey, in a recurring role) , who suggests, very casually, that Patel convince his daughters to have hysterectomies, because no one would want to get married to a woman who cannot reproduce. ( Yes, this is supposed to be funny) .
Thankfully, this idea is dismissed, and instead, Pasta disguises himself as an astrologer and tells the three girls that Patel will die of a heart attack if their boyfriends set foot on the property, or spot their father or call out to him. In what is only the beginning of hare-brained schemes in this film, the three girls convince their boyfriends to pretend to be crippled, blind and mute respectively.
So Sandy ( Akshay Kumar) rolls in on a motorized wheel chair ( thus never stepping into the house) , Teddy ( Riteish Deshmukh) pretends to be blind ( thus never seeing Patel) , and Bunty ( Abhishek Bachchan) pretends he cannot speak, thus saving Patel's life.
The humour in the film is scraping the bottom of the barrel. Naukri neeche, the three leading ladies screech at their father in one scene. They apparently mean calm down ( since kaam or naukri is Hindi for work/job, and neeche is down) . Race, colour, the differently abled - Housefull 3 spares no one, and if you are not offended by the end, you are likely to be bored out of your mind because it isn't even funny.
