HOUSEFUL 3- Somewhere around when 30mins of the movie was left , there came a swimming pool scene which made me laugh out loud when Akhsay , Abhishek and Ritesh were managing their DUAL DISABILITIES with Boman and Jackie. That was the only moment where i laugh wholeheartedly . And yes there were some 5-6 small moments for smile. Nothing more than that. I don't think it will be anything shocking if i say , there was not much of a plot , as anybody who will be expecting plot in this movie will be a fool. But in a strict sense , plot line can be compromised in a comedy movie if enough laugh out moment can be generated , which this movie didn't do. The jokes were lame and old. Like AADMI KO SIDHA HONA CHAHIYE ULTA TO TARAK MEHTA KA CHASMA BHI HEI , KHUSH HONA CHAHIYE GAMBHIR TO GAUTAM BHI HEI , ETC. Or those fullform jokes like YE TO MERE LIYE BHK hei , BAYEN HAATH KA KHEL. And yes how can i forget the worst English to Hindi translation jokes - TM LOGON KO NIMBU KI ROSHNI SE DUR REHNA CHAHIYE which means you must not be on the LIMELIGHT. I never understand who exactly the target audience is who laugh on these jokes..Still these movie enter the 100crore club. Probably this will too. Among actors , its just Akhsay who generated some laugh with his SANDY - SUNDY dual personality act. But not enough good jokes were given to any of the actors. One good news is that its better then ITS ENTERTAINMENT which was the debut of Shajid Farhad(the director duo) , but i don't think this comparison can be considered as complement. Its hilarious to know that there are other directors too in our BOLLYWOOD who can make comedy movies as bad as Sajid Khan and Pravudeva.. 5/10. By ANuP APu KuMaR. NOTE- i have seen this movie on my laptop and not on the big screen , but i don't think that my ratings would have been any high if i have seen it in theater , in fact it could have been lower , because in that case i couldn't have been able to fast forward the shitty songs , which was a big relief..

A Fine Entertainer saved by 3 leading male Actors
SAMTHEBESTEST3 June 2016
Warning: Spoilers
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.

Rather monotonous
greekdx7 October 2022
A very nice start somewhere in the U K with 3 bad guys fighting against the police but finally get arrested
Now in this movie this is nothing what you think for everyone involved. Instead the only ignorant are the ...ladies .Even the father is not wha someone can think.
IN contrast to the remain movies the humor is rude The main actor has the double personality disorder a king of schizo acting between Sandy (the good )and Sunny (the bad ) Many crazy scenes encounter this split problem with the end acting against himself and his friends team Even the rascal-ling scenes are very funny (trying to show that the one is blind the other can't speak and Akshay performing the disabled) and nearly down to earth but a few times highly exaggerated
Although the story is good the story gets hollow and I got rather bored with nearly the same funs or insanities and closes relatively interesting There are many action scnes with the best in the end of the movie . Sons of the one man against the grooms with rather twisted and happy end.
Just another entertaining movie with noting more to offer 5/10.

10 Jokes In Total. ♦ Grade D-
nairtejas4 June 2016
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

Just an average movie
dineshprakash3 June 2016
Director duo Mr. Sajid-Farhad work is good. They enhance the comedy by their shot taking and narration style. Story is clumsy. Three girls, one fake astro prediction, three boys who pretend to be blind, cripple, and mute, a Don, his right men, under cover betrayal, all for sake of money. Screenplay also doesn't offer anything new. Dialogues by director duo are enjoyable but it is not consistent. If you can enjoy scene like a person, who wants to be a car racer, looses his winning race due to his car fuel finishes, because he couldn't had noticed it. Then he tries to run till finish line to win. If such type of scene make you smile rather than irritate then this movie offers such type of content in abundant. A girl literal translates English proverb in Hindi, like " Tum Thand Ki Goli Lo" for take a chill pill like one liners. All characters in the film have double side, like girls are humble in home but extra modern outside, all three lead male characters have to portray just opposite what they actually are, like footballer has to be cripple, car racer has to be blind and rapper has to be mute. Emotional angle in pre climax is very boring, even a so called sad song comes with funny visuals but then climax is enjoyable. Apart from dialogues another saver point is performance. Akshay Kumar as split personality 'Sundy' is hilarious. The way he had carried the body language of that Sundy is too good. Abhishek Bachchan as Bunty, is good. Ritesh Deshmukh as Teddy, is very good. All girls are just for glamour quotient. Boman Irani is fine. Jackie Shroff is impressive. He carries his look and personality in interesting way. Chanky Pandey is OK.

Crude,unfunny,racist,sexist and what not! A below-the-belt film which is totally avoidable..
arnab-b113 June 2016
What irks me is to see such crude, racist, sexist, objectionable content getting green signal from censor while they are cutting/banning content driven films in the name of cuss words or gory scenes.. These kind of trash (read houseful 3) is not even slapstick comedy but plain derogatory.
Sample these "hateful eight" points:-
1. One can't simply turn a blind eye to the enormous effort put in by writer-director duo Sajid-Farhad to ridicule multiple forms of handicap and then defend it by throwing in a church scene at its fag end, wherein a priest after Bollywood's own heart spews lectures like "Awww you did it for love." Of course, they did, for THE LOVE OF THE BOX OFFICE.
2. Housefull's tradition of lowbrow humour is faithfully carried on through Housefull 3's relentless stock of sexist and racist jokes.
African guy appears on screen - hilarious. huh!
Insinuate a black housemaid slept with a Indian who couldn't tell because it was dark side-splitting.
Hysterectomy is great advice because nobody would want to marry a woman who can't conceive - now that's just priceless? But, hey, look at the bright side -no homophobic jokes. If this isn't an improvement, what is?
3. Did you know there are more than 50 ways to express 'Huh?' Jacqueline Fernandez, Lisa Haydon and Nargis Fakhri dedicate their entire screen time to the cause, only to watch Aishwarya Rai Bachchan's far more expressive wax mannequin steal the show.
4. Comedy is pulverizing the English and Hindi languages to babble baloney. In Housefull 3, the girls don't have too many lines but, when they do, they change into Ajay Devgn's character from Bol Bachchan in reverse.
And so, in mambo jumbo tongue, "Kaamwali gayi kaamwali gayi" is "Let bygones be bygones", and "Paal-pos ke oopar ja" translates to 'Grow up'! Right.
5. Ever seen dogs lift their leg to pee against a lamppost, Tyre or tree? Incredible how Housefull 3 finds creative inspiration in that most unbecoming of sights and choreographs an entire song and dance devoted to this act in Taang uthake.
6. Discover deep metaphors on how intently Housefull 3 focuses on its leading ladies' long legs (they deserve individual billing in the credits), as if to atone for Akshay Kumar's phony immobility.
7. There's Abhishek, mouthing lines off Amitabh Bachchan's movies and posing next to his statue at Madame Tussauds for a selfie. Could they be related?
8. Housefull 3's second most remarkable piece of acting comes from an army of CGI ants. To divulge more would be such a spoiler so I'll refrain.
Still curious about this hokum? Clearly, sarcasm is not your cup of tea but there's good reason to believe Housefull 3 might be. If only I could say 'enjoy' this trash & ignore some recent gems like Phobia, Waiting or Upcoming Te3n, Udta Punjab, Raman Raghav or Madaari..
May be somewhere I feel we as an audience deserve this trash..

Don't come with too high expectations. Remember its a Bollywood comedy movie, you might see some trite moments. So seat back, relax and sure you'll laugh. Everyone delivered what best they could do based on the story-line. Akki with split personality was very good. Ritesh was wonderful. AB was nice too. Boman, no question about it. Girls, I would say only Jacqueline was looking mesmerizing and convincing in her role. Other girls were so so. Jackie had a nice and short stint but played well his part. Couple of good numbers. Nice photography and choreography.
Overall a nice entertainer. Go watch it.

Warning: Spoilers
Housefull 3, by Sajid-Farhad, is the third sequel of Housefull series. It is not that I don't have sense of humour, but comedy genre has never impressed me. Probably I am yet to watch a good film from this genre. Housefull 3 also fails to generate any laughter. I wish, I could laugh, but the film is full of mindless humour. People who love comedy genre have also mentioned that the prequels were much better. I may not sound passionate at all while sharing my review about this film. I am sure, there is tremendous scope in our film industry to come up with genuine comedy flicks.
The film begins with a robbery scene followed by the police officers arresting three thieves (Samir Kochchar and two others). Then the frames move to a NRI businessman Batook Patel (Boman Irani) settled in London, who proudly says that he loves his all the three daughters Ganga, Jamuna, Saraswati (Jacqueline, Lisa, Nargis respectively) and would never married them off. The logic behind his saying so is astrological; he is being conveyed that he would die the moment a son-in-law steps in their house, or a son-in-law looks at him or a son-in-law utters to him. Ganga, Jamuna and Sarswati try to find their own solutions for the same by asking their respective boy-friends Sandy / Sundi (Akshay Kumar) to act as a person confined to wheel chair, Teddy (Riteish Deshmukh) to act as a blind person and Bunty (Abhishek Bachchan) to act as a mute person. All three come to meet Batook Patel, ask his daughters' hands and end up staying in their house. It doesn't need mention that the boys were eying the property of the girls. Rest of the film revolves around the situations generated to safeguard themselves from Batook's eyes and also to win him over.
Jacky shroff plays the role of a gangster Urja Nagre. What is the connection between him and Batook. Who are the three thieves shown in the beginning of the film? Whether Sandy, Teddy, Bunty are able to marry their love interests? How many of the people are claiming Batook's property? How does Batook handle his girls' love interests? Does he yield to them? How does the real picture come into play? What chaos is created as the film unfold?
I really have a problem with the script of the film. Is it required to make a mockery of the handicap / disability to generate sense of laughter? The song 'Taang Uthake' and choreography is awful. Girls' dialogues translate the English phrases literally into Hindi, gets repetitive and lacks humour.
As far as the cast and crew is concerned, indeed Akshay, Riteish and Abhishek are good with the comic timings. I liked Riteish of the three. Girls don't have much to do. Music is average.
Watch Housefull 3 at your own risk. I don't recommend this film, but if you just want to watch and forget a film, please go and watch this film, which has just a few scenes of laughter.

A fully Family Entertainer, Must watch Comedy film
vishal-s143 June 2016
Touted to be the biggest laugh riot of this year, 'Housefull 3' has hit the theaters today The film that stars Akshay Kumar, Abhishek Bachchan, Riteish Deshmukh, Jacqueline Fernandez, Nargis Fakhri and Lisa Haydon has done a tremendous job throughout the movie. Not just them, but actors like Boman Irani and Jackie Shroff will also be seen in supporting roles. We just watched it, Its simply awesome. Akshaykumar's comic timing is superb and he nailed it. He is truly player of the Bollywood and he deserves his title. He is really too good throughout the movie. All the supporting cast has done a very job, We loved them all specially Ritesh and Abhishek, and I'm damn sure that you gonna love it. Boman Irani has also done a good job and he will make you to watch the movie. The leading ladies Jacqueline, Nargis and Lisa entertained a lot with their accent. The Aakhiri Pasta didn't impress the audience #I'm_joking. The film is totally family entertainer and We enjoyed each and every dialogues throughout the movie, the dialogues are really mind blowing, and you'll love it. A must watch film for all who loves comedy film. And I would say a fully #PAISA_WASOOL movie. Go and watch.

kumarvarun198910 October 2016
As expected the trailer of Housefull 3 gives much of the film away. A rich Gujju businessman in London, Batuk Patel (Boman Irani), doesn't want to marry off his three daughters because of the curse of broken marriages running in his extended family. All hell breaks lose when he learns that all the three sanskari girls – Ganga, Jamuna and Saraswati (Jacqueline Feernandes, Nargis Fakhri and Lisa Haydon) – have a boyfriend each. A car racer called Teddy (Riteish Deshmukh), a rapper called Bunty (Abhishek Bachchan) and a footballer called Sandy (Akshay Kumar).
The boys do manage to get an entry into the girls' mansion but by playing blind, mute and crippled. The confusion gets confounded when this role playing has to get interchanged. The blind has to turn mute, the mute has to become crippled and the one playing crippled has to turn blind. All for the sake of the Indian Don, Urja Nagare (Jackie Shroff) to whom Batuk owes a royal sum of Rs 5000 crores. Well there is more but that will be telling it all.
So with the story out of the way all that's left to follow in the film is whether the situations and gags are funny enough or not. Unfortunately they aren't and a morning show in Mumbai hardly had anyone in the audience smiling, leave ROFLing away. No one would go looking for logic in the Housefull franchisee but inspired madness and sublime silliness is definitely worth demanding. No such luck.
One can't quite go looking for political correctness in such a film. But Housefull3, doesn't know where it wants to stand on issues. No wonder after cracking many a joke at the physically challenged its attempt to redeem itself in the end seems half baked and forced. The film's stand on racism is also just as confused. Initially Indians and the blacks are seen at the same end of the racial slurs yet you have the Gujju empire of Batook Patel populated entirely by black maids and distasteful references made to their wombs. And not to forget the play with maa and behen in the lyrics. What are these songs trying to say? It's Askhay Kumar who gets the maximum play as the footballer suffering from dissociative identity disorder. The split personality has a patriotic reason. It's all an aggression resulting from the depression he feels as an Indian on being mistreated by the Westerners. Kumar hams with abandon in two long sequences where he has to swing between his two selves and gets to speak the funniest line of the film: "such huge (Rs5000 crore) loans are not taken by individuals but nations". His Paris-parrot-paragon-Paramount-pears routine is also funny.
Abhishek Bachchan has a natural flair for comedy but here he is toned down to the extent of becoming lacklustre. And can we please see him with an identity of his own rather than being burdened with his illustrious surname? He is certainly more than a "bade baap ka beta". Even on the silver screen.
It's left to Jackie Shroff then, gun in hand and blade hidden inside his mouth, who displays more charisma than the rest of the cast put together. Wish there was more of him.

After watching Housefull 3 you will be holding your stomach in pain due to the amount you laugh in the movie.Like all films in this genre don't go in expecting logic but sure your going to get your funny bone kicked every now and then.Akshays split personality act is the best where he's sundi and sandy.Everyone else does a decent job in supporting him but the true life of the movie is Akshay Kumar and his comic timing.Also the chemistry with the boys is awesome and it shows on screen.Never to be bored on this movie also watch out for the second half its a laugh riot. Rating 20/10 because laughter is earned with great difficulty and this one makes you enjoy to the core. I swear you should recommend this movie to your friends
Fun In Parts!

The Third Installment in the Housefull Series, 'Housefull 3', is helmed by Writer-Director Duo Sajid-Farhad, instead of Housefull Veteran Sajid Khan. And to be honest, this third part is actually funny in parts, despite some ridiculous jokes. Lock Away Logic & Enjoy This MAD Ride!
'Housefull 3' Synopsis: A father (Boman Irani) doesn't want his three daughters (Jacqueline Fernandez, Nargis Fakhri & Lisa Haydon) to get married. However, their 3 respective boyfriends (Akshay Kumar, Abhishek Bachchan & Riteish Deshmukh) show up pretending to be disabled people, in order to gain sympathy from their father as well slurp up all their money. But things take a turn when a Don (Jackie Shroff) interrupts their plan.
'Housefull 3' begins tepidly & honestly, I wasn't laughing initially. But, right after the Leading-Men enter their lady-love's home as the disabled souls, the narrative picks up. However, its the second-hour of this crazy, nutcase comedy, that turns into a laugh-riot. The second-hour, though over populated, is still packed with enough jokes & gags, which do the trick. The Climax, particularly, is hilarious!
Writer-Director Duo Sajid-Farhad package 'Housefull 3' as a slapstick comedy, although some jokes, especially the ones involving the heroines translating English puns into Hindi, are unfunny to the core. But, the humor works in favor of Akshay Kumar's character, who suffers from dual-personalities. There is even a nice twist towards the interval point, which definitely, works. But overall, the Writing could've been better. Of course, I didn't expect 'Housefull 3' to be a comedic gem, but we have heard & read some of the many such jokes on whatsapp long ago. Even the Dialogue, range from hilarious to plain silly. Their Direction, on the other-hand, is passable. Cinematography is decent. Editing could've been sharper. Music by Various Artists, is peppy. Art & Costume Design are good.
Performance-Wise: Akshay Kumar steals the show. His Genius Comic-Timing isn't something that's new anymore, but he portrays the dual-personality driven character, with unbelievable ease. He is undoubtedly, the film's best joke! Riteish Deshmukh is also superb, while Abhishek Bachchan has his moments. Of the ladies, Jacqueline Fernandez leaves a mark. Boman Irani is first-rate, his Gujarati dialect is perfect. Jackie Shroff has a small role, but he enacts it sincerely. Chunkey Pandey returns as Aakhri Pasta & he's enjoyable, as ever.
On the whole, 'Housefull 3' isn't a laugh-riot, but its funny in parts nonetheless.

One of the worst comedies India has produced.
abdullahkhanpathan11 May 2017
I'm an avid lover of Indian movies, especially comedies. I always find myself exploring more and more films. India has produced some great comedies: Hera Pheri, Phir Hera Pheri, Dhol, Dhamaal, Deewane Huye Pagal, Hungama, and the list can go on. On the other side of this however, the writer duo Sajid-Farhad has done its best to write screenplays for the worst Indian comedies ever. Housefull 3 is a film full of childish jokes and gags. It has a ridiculous plot, a no-brainer story, and it tries extremely hard to be funny, but not one time does it try to be good. Two of the male lead has a disability. Sandy becomes 'Sundy' whenever he hears the word 'Indian', and this is as cringe-worthy as it sounds. Ritesh's character mispronounces some words, for example 'Dolat' and 'Aurat'. The female leads do literal translations of English sentences and this ends up confusing the other characters in the film, and makes me want to tear my eyes out. There was no sense of direction in this film. The film is directed by Sajid-Farhad Samji, who wrote the first garbage that came to their minds, and said 'Hey, let's turn this into a film'. I am surprised no one tried to stop them. Every actor was doing his/her whole thing, there was no sense of coordination. The acting was beautifully terrible. The lead actors are at least 10-15 years older than the lead actresses, and every actor was cast because of their looks and their fan-following. None of the lead actresses can act, I mean in the whole film all I could see Nargis Fakhri do was bend up and down trying to explain stuff either to her dad, or her boyfriend with her perky lips meanwhile Jaqueline was busy showing her thighs. This is Akshay's worst performance I have seen and I have seen the best and worst of him. He didn't even try. It's like every crew member was concerned with his/her paycheck. And let's face it, Abishek and Ritesh could never act. Meanwhile I don't know what hit Boman Irani's head throughout the whole film. The cinematography was okay. It captured the beauty of the locations, but didn't even try to do something special. The dialogue was absolutely crap. The screenplay was genuinely horrible. The characters are unbelievable, their stories are unbelievable, and the jokes aren't funny, except if you're a 5 year old. On one side of Indian comedies is Neeraj Vora, and on the other far side, we have this duo that has swore to never even try to make something genuine. Most of the film's core problems lie in its screenplay. People really need to get their heads together, and start valuing the great films and bashing films like these, because if a film like Housefull 2 can get a third installment, meanwhile Hera Pheri 3 rests on the bookshelf, then I don't really see Indian comedies going anywhere.
Hilarious movie and Akshay is too awesome
nidhisahni-2970225 August 2016
I watched Rustam, Happy Bhaag Jayegi and now Housefull 3. But I found Housefull 3 better than these 2.
Housefull 3 is a good laugh-out loud comedy. I suggest you guys to not think much while watching this movie and take it easy and enjoy this fun-filled comedy. Don't see logic n all, just sit down n relax
Me and my husband laughed a lot and enjoyed every bit.
Abhishek too is awesome. You will see great many scene. I found this movie better than early versions of Housefull.
So, highly recommended to shed off all stress from your daily life..
On the whole, Wanna laugh-out-loud? Watch 'Housefull 3'. Its pure fun!

Housefull again , headache again
chins-3936721 June 2016
So the third installment of the houseful series is back.The third part has Sajid-Farhad at helm of things unlike the previous two. The only good thing about this houseful is Akshay Kumar . It was disappointing to see Riteish perform below par this time as he's veteran in comedies.The biggest disappointment was Abhishek Bachchan. All the dialogues were so lame that an elementary kids too wont find it funny . Chunky Pandey reprises his role of Aakhri Pasta and looks repetitive hence looks boring. Abhishek Bachchan trys his best to act funny but hes overdone it again this time with equal disappointment. What waste of time.
Housefull 3 Review: A Comedy that Induces Pain but Not From Laughs
DareDevilKid10 July 2016
Warning: Spoilers
Reviewed by: Dare Devil Kid (DDK)
Rating: 1.4/5 stars
Housefull 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.

Brutally unfunny
anish-2580915 June 2016
Warning: Spoilers
This is s**t,pure s**t in the highest form of the word.This run-of-the-mill,relentlessly stupid comedy movie will now enter the 200-crore club,and I simply don't understand how.This is so full of unfunny jokes which will not make anyone laugh or even smile,but will make everyone groan.Boman Irani has black housemaids,and when someone sleeps with them,he tells them "tumne muh Kala kar diya" Hahahahaha.This is the type of overrated crap which Bollywood is riddled with.Acting is horrible even with such talented actors.Why Akshay Kapoor is on this is in this I have no idea,he doesn't even use his 'player' persona to his advantage.There is nothing good in this movie,it is all a colossal s**t-show,totally unfunny and horribly written.This movie pretends to have a plot,but it doesn't.It is just a bunch of songs tied together with bad jokes.The joke is on them this time.
Akshay carries this one with his comic timing
Punter_Hunter15 January 2017
As with previous installments in Housefull franchise, this follows the same template with all characters coming together in same house and then there is confusion, chaos and comic situations arising out of those. The story doesn't hold much value in a slap stick comedy so skipping that part and coming to the characters and gags directly. The problem here is that most of the gags in 1st 45 minutes fall flat. Funny moments start once Batook Patel (Boman Irani) starts testing Akshay Kumar, Riteish Deshmukh and Abhishek Bachchan for pretended handicap by them.
Batook Patel (Boman Irani) uses word play which falter most of the times and sleepwalks through his role of a Gujrati man which he has played innumerable times in such slapstick comedies.
All 3 girls Jacqueline Fernandez, Nargis Fakhri and Lisa Haydon suited their Characters of glamorous looking Dumbo girls who in order to maintain their Indianness translate English phrases literally in Hindi to evoke laughter which worked at some places and fell flat at other depending on the situation in the movie. However the director gets the casting right with them because of their accented Hindi even in real life plus the requirement of the role is that of Bimbos and hence no need for great acting chops.
Jackie Shroff plays a Stylish dreaded gangster and a doting father with aplomb. Riteish Deshmukh was underutilized. He has been a major asset to previous movies in this franchise. Abhishek Bachchan was decent with his deadpan humor in role of an aspiring rapper.
Chunkey Pandey as Aakhiri Pasta is completely wasted. He was hilarious in first two movies in Housefull franchise.
The standout performance comes from Akshay Kumar who can be easily termed as the one having the best comic timing amongst the current crop of Lead actors. He is shown to be suffering from Dissociative Identity Disorder and once he becomes Sundi, he is riot with his walk, the way he talks and the funny expression he maintains with wacky behavior. Akshay Kumar is the heart and soul of this movie.
Sajid-Farhad who are directing Housefull movie for the 1st time have done just about decent job, but they overdo jokes and stretches them killing the impact of the gag or jokes as they did in their 1st directorial-Entertainment as well . Director of Previous 2 movies in Housefull series –Sajid Khan, would certainly have made these gags funnier and crisp.
Overall it's a good time pass flick if one ignores the buildup that took almost 40-45 minutes and is not averse to slapstick comedies. I would rate it 6 plus 1 rating extra for Akshay's superb performance as Sundi.

What An Awful Movie!
qazniss13 June 2016
Firstly, Housefull 3 is nothing like its prequels. Housefull and Housefull 2 were much much better. The movie is a total waste of time and money and I would not think of it as a comedy film considering it had no comedy in it, the very few jokes it finally managed to put in the movie made me laugh at the stupidity not the humor. Secondly, there is one main plot or problem the movie revolves around. Housefull 3 revolves around nothing. There is no story line and a problem in the film. Honestly, I would rather say that the Housefull theme and some recurring characters have gotten pretty boring and stupid now. There is not much left to Housefull as it has gotten old and should have ended on a good note rather than a bad one. Lastly, I would like to say that the directors should have ended the series with Housefull 2 and rather not have thrust forcefully boring sequels upon it. This movie is a complete waste of time and money, you should rather just watch Pretty Little Liars than waste your money on this movie in the theaters.
HOUSEFULL 3 = Entertainment!
vermasp-8178911 June 2016
The much awaited H3 has released.This film is more intelligent than the previous installments because this one has lots of slapstick humor ,instead of confusion of identities or double roles, the dialogues are cleverly written and are funny.On the hand the direction is functional or bad.But,the writing and performances by its lead cast are the saving graces of this film.The movie makes you laugh after every 10-5 minutes.This is a family film ,there is no double- meaning that's why kids also love this movie.I don't need to talk about the plot ,if you want to know,you can read it from the top.Performance wise Akshay,Abhishek & Riteish are fantastic.Action scenes are funny especially the climax which is hilarious.All in all H3 is worth your money. My rating--***/5.
Over Lame
vineetbabel6 June 2016
Housefull 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 ..

Akshay's hilarious performance ROFL

After being impressed by the first Housefull which was a foolish slapstick comedy and the above average Housefull 2 which was not as hilarious, Housefull 3 will keep you laughing and is one of the best in the franchise! The film keeps you entertained and definitely is not a bad film.
With the ratings, I will first start with Akshay Kumar who is obviously the best from all the others and he will keep you laughing and will keep you having a smile on your face. Ritesh Deshmukh also has good comic timing and will also keep you impressed. Abishek Bachchan gives a good supporting actor role after some bad roles and films. Jacqueline Fernandez is good for an actress in the film and better than the other 2. Lisa Haydon was not really good but had a good role. Nargis Fakhri didn't need much either but had a good effect in the film at the confession scene. Boman Irani was just OK he had a big effect on the film but acting was not as good as I expected. Jackie Shroff had a good role as crime boss Ujar Nagre who creates and even more big problem then the problem they are already facing. Chunkey Pandey as Aakhri Pasta was actually pretty funny as well too after his good performances in the first 2. The rest of the actors who will not be listed did ALRIGHT. The acting's rating I would give a 5/5 because the film was awesome.

Really Dumb But...
WasiReviews3 August 2020
Lets start of by asking how the heck does Jacqueline still have a job every movie she's in half her dialogue is English and the other half is bad Hindi. The only movie she didn't ruin is Dishoom and Salman Khan ruined Kick so I won't blame her for that. She's a bad actress and to cover it up they went with really bad dialogue that a six year old could've come up with seriously everyone stutters and can't pronounce certain things really got on my nerve. If I'm paying to see a movie I don't want see that. Akshay, Nargis, Lisa and Riteish save the movie while the rest just sucked. They dragged this movie a lot longer than it should have been.
