An Indian businessman Batuk Patel (Boman Irani) has built an empire in London. His daughters - lovingly named Ganga, Jamuna and Saraswati (played by Jacqueline Fernandez, Lisa Haydon and Nargis Fakhri) - want to marry Sandy, Bunty and Teddy (Akshay Kumar, Abhishek Bahchchan and Riteish Deshmukh), who are as broke as can be. The problem is Patel doesn't want his daughters to get married at all. But this premise is hardly the interesting part of the movie. It's the dialogues.

You enter a theatre expecting the film to be silly and absurd. And even then, you end up laughing in amazement at the level of nonsense that it reaches. And then this sets a series of giggles - sometimes, out of embarrassment and sometimes, purely out of glee. 'Housefull 3' is another such gem in this genre and going by the family that was sitting behind me catching it FDFS and doubling up with laughter at every scene, this review seems rather irrelevant yet again.

Sandy suffers from Dissociative Identity Disorder, which results in the emergence of his violence-prone, self-destructive alter ego Sundy every time someone utters the word "Indian". Teddy (Riteish Deshmukh) is congenitally confused by words, for instance saying "tawaif" for "wife". Gangster Oojra Nagre (Jackie Shroff) has a penchant for coining acronyms at the drop of a hat, such as ATM for "Ab tu marega" and WTF for "Wednesday Thursday Friday".

Ritesh Deshmukh can see. Abhishek Bachchan can talk. Akshay Kumar can walk. And I, somehow, survived Housefull 3. That, ladies and gentleman, is the real miracle. It is my moral duty to ensure you do too by providing you 10 reasons why you cannot afford to miss the third offering in the franchise of the senseless, by the witless, for the brainless.

If you have seen the two earlier installments of this franchise, you already know that is purely a 'leave-your-brains-behind' affair. The premise is a comedy of errors. But unlike Gulzar's gem Angoor (1982), this one is not about twins. It's so convoluted, it will make Shakespeare turn in his grave. Sample this. Sandy, who wants to play football in the English Premiere League becomes Sundy (Mr Hyde kinda guy) when his coach makes a racist remark and refers to him as Indian! Ooh; the simple Samaritan becomes aggressive, contorts his face and goes ballistic, till you almost reach out to the screen and say stop- we can't take this anymore.

Sometime in 2010, three masked men rob a museum in London. They have a face-off with the police and then we are taken to the present-day London. Batuk Patel (Boman Irani) hosts a party at his palatial mansion. When Patel's friend puts forth a marriage proposal from his three sons to Patel's three daughters Ganga (Jacqueline), Yamuna (Lisa) and Saraswati (Nargis), we realise the hitch. Batuk doesn't want his daughters to get married.

Every genre of cinema has its own essence. And, if you are looking for even a bit of sense, then stay away from Akshay Kumar's 'Housefull 3'. I repeat, stay away from this film as it promises to be a paisa vasool entertainer only for those who are ready to leave their brains at home. To be brutally honest, keeping in mind the summer break and vacation time for family audience, the Sajid-Farhad directorial is expected to gain big at the Box Office. Not to forget the performances from all the lead actors.

Like its central premise - three desperate drifters out to marry a trio of wealthy sisters weave their way in and out of trouble - Housefull 3 is painfully hackneyed and sickeningly silly. But for a slapstick comedy that makes no bones about its lowbrow intentions, being trite and stupid is part of the game. It makes mass consumption easy but does nothing to serve the long-term cause of the genre.

Sajid Nadiadwala's Housefull franchise has provided mindless entertainment throughout the years and the recent release Housefull 3 also attempts to do the same. However, though the first two parts were super-successful because of their whacky characters and funny dialogues, Housefull 3 comes across only as funny in parts and overdone in others.

The Housefull franchise returns with the third installment, along with Akshay Kumar, Riteish Deshmukh, Boman Irani and Chunkey Pandey. The new players around this time are Abhishek Bachchan, Jacqueline Fernandez (who was there in Housefull 2 as well), Lisa Haydon, Nargis Fakhri and Jackie Shroff. Instead of Sajid Khan, this time the film is directed by Sajid-Farhad, the scenarists who penned the first two films.

Brain : huh? Oh you mean you went and subjected yourself all over again to a bunch of people trying to make fun of the disabled, the coloured.. Let me see, what did I leave out? Community, race, class. .This is a film which gets a fellow to say, 'apna moonh kaala kiya naukrani ke saath' or words to that effect, and the camera cuts to Black uniformed women. Baarf.

Batuk Patel (Boman Irani) has three beautiful daughters, Ganga (Jacqueline Fernandez), Jamuna (Lisa Haydon) and Saraswati (Nargis Fakhri). Their Hindi is awful and the trio are dating Sandy (Akshay Kumar), Teddy (Riteish Deshmukh) and Bunty (Abhishek Bachchan). Batuk does not wish to get the three married due to ulterior motives so he fakes a theory 'He will die if' to stop them. As a solution to this, the guys pretend to be handicapped, Sandy pretends to be a wheel-chair dependent, Teddy fools them into being blind and Bunty pretends to be mute.

It all started off in the year 2010, with Akshay Kumar, Ritesh Deshmukh, Arjun Rampal, Deepika Padukone, Lara Dutta and (late) Jiah Khan all coming together under 'one roof' with the film titled HOUSEFULL, a film that proved to be a goldmine at the box-office. This was followed up by its second instalment titled HOUSEFULL 2, which, again, was a blockbuster at the ticket windows. This time round, the audiences are treated to the third instalment of the film, titled HOUSEFULL 3.
