Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.

Great Film overall

Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

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.

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.

Movie : Housefull 3 (UA)Rating : 4/5The previous two films Housefull and Housefull 2 were box office hits. Both the comedies had been directed by Sajid Khan, who didn't direct this one. In this film, HOUSEFULL 3, Sajid-Farhad take up as directors and thankfully provide cleaner comedy as compared to first two films in this series. Akshay Kumar, Ritesh Deshmukh, Abhishek Bachchan and their respective female co-stars rule the screen with their comedy. But the real show is ruled by the three leading men who have all the best punches to entertain. Boman Irani too has humorous lines to speak. Other cast too entertains. The humour of this film is truly excellent, I felt this when I found all the audience in the theatre laughing, and even I too was laughing. In other words, I enjoyed it wholly. Actually, the kind of film it is, there isn't enough to write about except the fact that it's another entertaining comedy from the actors and makers. The music is foot tapping and luckily doesn't cover the film's duration unnecessarily. The fight scenes are also well shot and executed. The locations, cinematography and VFX too are top notch. Overall, HOUSEFULL 3 is an entertaining comedy film that has all the ingredients of a perfect comedy film as is clean enough to attract families to watch it. Go, watch it and enjoy!

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 ..
