Housefull 3 (2016) Movie Reviews

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

HOUSEFULL 3 REVIEW - Housefull was an average film still makers made a sequel which was really good so i was expecting similar kind of entertainer like Housefull2. Housefull3 trailer was funny enough to catch my attention so obviously i wasn't gonna miss FDFS. Finished watching the film and here is my take in details on a film -> Acting - Akshay, Ritesh and Abhishek have saved the movie from being a crap and debacle of remaining star cast. All 3 Lead male actors rocked in a film with Hilarious dialogue delivery and expressions. Jaqueline, Lisa and Nargis have done model's job not Actor's. Other Starcast failed to impress.

Story- Average ! It was expected that writers will write messed up things, but 1 question is in mind that 'How can daughters forget their Father's face? Otherwise story is little bit interesting and suitable for Film.

Dialogues- Bad. But Clap worthy for many scenes and Worst at few scenes. Some are Hilarious (Childish may be) which succeeds in making you laugh.

Screenplay - Above Average ! genuine run time of 135 minutes doesn't have loo breaks except couple of Songs. Still not tight enough.

Music- Only 'Pyar ki Maa' Sounds rocking, 'Malamaal' is waste of time, 'Taang Utha Ke' sounds slow because that scene needed Pacy party song. 'Ishq Wishq' is Childish yet Funny.

Direction - As Expected ! Never expected quality film, Director has succeeded in making a Good 1 Time watchable Entertainer. Irritates you at many points but still succeeds in making you laugh out loudly after every 10 minutes. So many Hilarious Laughter scenes which proves Director hasn't made a crap film. Good Job but not impressive.

Final Words- Overall Housefull3 is Better than Housefull but failed to match Housefull2 's level. A Fine Family Entertainer which irritates you 40% but Entertains you 60%. Go for it, if you're looking for a Paisa Vasool 1 Time watch Entertainer. I can't predict Box Office right now but still i feel this film deserves 100cr Club. 6/10* Stars by me.
