MOVIE REVIEW – HOUSEFULL 3 (2016)

The 3rd instalment in the Housefull franchisee, HOUSEFULL 3, directed by the writer-director duo of Sajid-Farhad, instead of veteran Sajid Khan is released and to be very honest the third part is actually funny in parts, despite some silly jokes as always, and one thing is for sure, keep your brain and logic aside when watching this mad ride as always with movies of comic genre.

Movie is based on London based Batuk Patel (Boman Irani) who doesn’t want to marry his three daughters (Jacqueline Fernandez, Nargis Fakhri & Lisa Haydon). However, their respective boyfriends (Akshay, Abhishek & Ritesh) pretended to be disabled people, get into the house for want of love and their money.

Movie takes a slow start and picks up well with the entry of Akshay Kumar, Ritesh Deshmukh & Abhishek Bachan. However, the second hour of this crazy comedy is a laugh riot, though over populated, but still packed with enough jokes but the climax, particularly is very funny.

However, Sajid-Farhad’s movie is a humorous comedy but some of its jokes especially those one performed by the heroines translating English phrases into hindi were pathetic because the comedy is not their cup of tea I think. But the character played by Akshay Kumar of split personality is outstanding and he has carried it very well. Music is nice and the cinematography is good but the script was not upto the mark.

Ritesh’s slip slip toungue jokes are disastrous some times when he uses ‘Tawaif’ instead of wife and so is the Abhishek’s hilarious Rap “Teri Maa Bhen”. Like many other bollywood movies, Sajid-Farhad has also least used the acting of its female actresses and their main role was to provide glamour in the movie only as such, female characters have very small or no role either. All the limelight is captured by their male counterparts be they lead male actors or its Boman Irani, Chunky Pandey or Jackie Shroff.

Movie started with a robbery in a diamond showroom by three masked men in the Central London, who were caught by the Policy. When the masks of the raiders come off, you expect to see the faces of the three lead actors behind them - Akshay Kumar, Riteish Deshmukh and Abhishek Bachchan. The burglars turn out to be Nikitin Dheer, Samir Kochar and Arav Choudhary, three villains who do not get another look-in until rather late in the film.

Last Museum scene of the movie is also hilarious like previous movies of the Housefull franchisee.

Star Peformance:-

Akshay Kumar, once again steal the show by his reputed comic timing. He has carried split personality Sundy very sensibly and is outstanding. Riteish with his slip tongue jokes is looking good and Abhishek Bachan as Rapper look ordinary with very few comic scenes. Boman Irani, as always in Gujrati ascent is outstanding, Chunkey Pandey as the roadside chef ‘Aakhri Paasta on London Rasta’ is also looking good.

While talking of the performances of the female actresses, Jacqueline Fernandez leaves a mark and the rest of two i.e. Nargis Fakhri and Lisa Hayden are quite ordinary.

Final words:
Comedy lovers and Housefull franchisee lovers may watch this movie. Logical and mindful movies lovers may have to wait for some more time.

My ratings for this movie is 2 out of 5 stars only for comedy.
