HOUSEFULL 3

HOUSEFULL 3: is a 2016 Indian comedy film co-written and directed by Sajid-Farhad starring Akshay Kumar, Abhishek Bachchan, Riteish Deshmukh, Jacqueline Fernandes, Lisa Haydon, Nragis Fakhri, Boman Irani, Jackie Shroff, Chunkey Pandey. It is the third installment in the Housefull film series.

PLOT: An Indian businessman Batuk Patel (Boman Irani) has built an empire in London. His daughters – lovingly named Ganga Patel (Jaqueline Fernandez), Jamuna Patel (Lisa Haydon) and Saraswati Patel (Nargis Fakhri).Despite being the lucky father to three beautiful and dutiful grown up daughters, Batook Patel just does not want them to get married, for reasons best known to him. All the three also have a boyfriend each in the form of Sandy (Akshay Kumar) a footballer with split personality disorder, rapper Bunty (Abhishek Bachchan) and a car racer Teddy (Riteish Deshmukh).Lured by Ganga, Jamuna and Saraswati's strong financial background, when Sandy, Bunty and Teddy convince the girls to marry them, all the three girls reject their proposals citing an astrologer's prediction.Amidst all this, enters the dreaded Mumbai don Urja Nagre (Jackie Shroff), who has a secret agenda of his own.

What was the reason for Batook Patel of not getting 'his' three daughters married, what is Urja Nagre's big secret, what was the astrologer's prediction that prevented the three girls from getting married to their respective boyfriends and how will the three boyfriends manage to marry their respective girlfriends, is what forms the rest of the film's story.

PERFORMANCES: As the film is a multi-starrer, the spotlight just does not rest on any one individual's laurels. Not new to such genre of films, Akshay Kumar is totally 'at home' in this film. Right from his impeccable comedy timing, his romantic scenes or action scenes, he delivers and how. Riteish Deshmukh, again an old and experienced hand with such a genre, seems to be on the home turf with this film. He does not disappoint the viewers with his comedy timing and delivery of punches and one liners. Abhishek Bachchan, a newcomer to the 'HOUSEFULL' series does try and put a decent act, although his character fails to convince the audience about his profession of being a rapper.On the other hand, Jacqueline Fernandez, Nargis Fakhri and Lisa Haydon look gorgeous and provide the much needed glam quotient to the film.Even though the veteran actor Boman Irani has been stereotyped in such over the top roles in many films by now, he still manages to bring something new to the table and lands up impressing. Jackie Shroff is okay.

MUSIC: Composed by Sohail Sen, Mika Singh, Sharib-Toshi, Tanishk Bagchi, Milind Gaba.Tracks like 'Pyar Ki',"Fake Ishq" and 'Taang Uthake' are decent track.

While the film's first half is funny with humorous one liners, the film's second half tends to lose plot.The film's cinematography (Vikas Sivaraman) is hugely superlative, with London and its plush locations captured and presented beautifully on the silver screen.

Dialogues are well written & have comic elements.

Overall, Housefull 3 is totally mindless comedy .Its watchable for time pass & for fans of the Housefull franchise.
