Housefull 3 is the kind of film that does not believe in pauses. It hurtles down a manic course that culminates in a bizarre free-for-all.
If you have seen the two earlier installments of this franchise, you already know that is purely a'leave-your-brains-behind' affair. The premise is an insensitive comedy of errors. But unlike Gulzar's gem Angoor(1982), this one is not about twins. It's so convoluted, it will make Shakespeare turn in his grave.
Sample this. Sandy, who wants to play football in the English Premiere League becomes Sundy(Mr Hyde kinda guy) when his coach makes a racist remark and refers to him as Indian! Ooh; the simple Samaritan becomes aggressive, contorts his face and goes ballistic, till you almost reach out to the screen and say stop- we can't take this anymore.
Then there's Teddy who suffers from a slip-of-the-tongue disorder. So he calls wife-'tawaif.' Is this even funny? Well, if the lowbrow comedy shows on Indian television are anything to go by, guess it is. There is also Bunty the rapper, who does these'ma-bahen' rap that even the goras respond to. Get the drift. Writer-director duo Farhad-Sajid who have the dubious claim of writing the contemporary Golmaal series are on the loose again. What is amateur though is their direction.
Housefull3 is an amalgamation of goofball gags and childish jokes. At times, the gags make you choke with anger or with laughter. The boys take turns to play lame, blind and mute. The girls play dumb throughout. The adults, Batook, Urja Nagrik(Jackie) and Pasta(Chunky) scheme and overact. There is no plot in sight.
finally, Housefull 3 offers non stop comedy and crazy one-liners woven in to a wafer thin plot. Thankfully, most of the gags work due to the superb comic timing of the male leads specially the rocking Akshay Kumar. Though not an improvement over the previous two parts, the movie meets the expectations of a mindless entertainer generating a few laughs.overall its Not upto the avarage
