... View MoreReviewed by: Dare Devil Kid (DDK)Rating: 1.4/5 starsHousefull 1 was a very funny movie, no two ways about it. Unless you're a really difficult person to please that movie would have made you laugh. It almost made us think that Sajid Khan, with all his shortcomings, could at least give us a decent laugh (then Himmatwala and Humshakals happened), and the film's box-office performance sparked off a franchise. Housefull 2 wasn't as funny, but it had its laugh-out-loud moments (courtesy Akshay Kumar and Johnny Lever), and you at least walked away from it amused. Housefull 3 is just one God-awful mess that even Akshay Kumar, Riteish Deshmukh, and Boman Irani, with all their impeccable comic timings, cannot salvage.Let's begin with the plot wait a second – what plot, which plot, there is no plot. Comedy sketches on TV have better plots than this. Random gags (that are funny only according to Director-writer duo Sajid- Farhad and their co-writer K. Subash) and a few repetitive set pieces constitute the entire film's screenplay, that's it. Sample this – for some strange reason, most of the movie revolves around a massive garden lawn, the façade of a palatial mansion (not even the mansion itself), and a wax museum that looks straight out of a Dharavi ghetto, which bring you to the question, what was that massive budget of the movie utilized for?The rest of the story (for lack of a better word) revolves around how Akshay, Riteish, and Abhishek feign being lame, blind, and mute to gain favor with Boman and marry his daughters Jacqueline Fernandez, Lisa Haydon, and Nargis Fakhri. Enter Jackie Shroff, and our three dudes have to interchange their disabilities to impress him because it turns out that he's actually the girls' daddy dear. In all fairness, this presented a recipe for genuinely funny comedy, but all that Sajid-Farhad offer up is one harebrained, unfunny gag after another.As for the gags, they oscillate between three notes – unfunny, cringe-worthy, and pain-inducing. There are films where the jokes fall flat, and then there's Housefull 3, which makes you want to break into an impromptu standup comedy act just so that your fellow viewers could leave with some small dose of laughter for the money they've paid. Thankfully, the makers have steered clear of homophobic jokes or below-the-belt humor this time. Sadly, they also have seemed to stay away from the jokes, too. And the songs, well, suffice it to say that they have a reputation to uphold in keeping with the rest of the film.When a Director makes you miss Sajid Khan's skills, or rather the lack of them, behind the camera, you know that something has gone terribly wrong right from the scripting stage to the final finishing touches. And, just so if you get lured into that pointless argument of leaving your brains at home and just enjoying some brainless entertainment, then ask yourself – how can something be entertaining if it's already being declared as brainless. Jacqueline, Lisa, Nargis, and Abhishek, and Jackie Shroff wander aimlessly through the entire movie while Akshay, Riteish, and Boman do their best to salvage this mess, but when each line in a comedy fails miserably, the plot is in total shambles, and the jokes are something even six- year olds would find juvenile, then what could expect even good actors to do. Even Aakhri Pasta – one of the highlights of the first two films – makes this one look like an unfunny raasta.
... View MoreSo this is kinda my first review for a movie. Just imagine what I went through watching Housefull 3 to actually pen down a review. Firstly, it was least expected that it can be any better than the previous two installments. But there was a slight hope in the new directors. Oh wait! they have already directed "It's Entertainment". According to me Housefull 3 was suppose to be a mindless comedy. In fact, it was mindless but not a comedy. The dialogues, story, screenplay nothing that you have never seen before. If I got to watch this, rather by a DVD of comedy movies released in the past 5 years and watch them. If you want to exaggerate how about doing it on real facts, that would be really funny. I mean you would not sell the same jokes to the same audience, right? even a stand-up comedian would refrain from it. Also the songs were like duh!. The movie did have some positives as well, like the male lead actors comic timing and a good bit of physical comedy. Surely the makers can get some advice from stand up comedians and you-tubers. Finally, please take comedy seriously!
... View MoreHousefull 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 ..
