Housefull 3 Reviews and Ratings
-
Jacqueline, Lisa and Nargis playing lassies in short skirts going by the name Ganga, Jamuna and Saraswati, coming up with the worst lines ever…
-
There are a few scenes in which the lunacy hits the mark, but they are painfully infrequent. At one point Sandy, pretending to be wheelchair-bound, lunges at Bakul’s feet, saying: ‘Wheel payna papaji’. I had to laugh. The men – Akshay, Riteish and Abhishek Bachchan – all seem to be having fun and their energy keeps the engine running. But it’s not enough. And did I mention that Chunky Pandey reprises his role as Aakhri Pasta. In one scene, he appears disguised as the paravarik jyotish Akhri Aasta.
It’s very tiring. -
Though not as much of a riot as Welcome or Khiladi 786, you can count on the star cast and the crazy set-up to give you a good time.
-
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.
-
The onus is eventually on Akshay, Riteish and Abhishek to give the film some direction. But all that they do is flow along with the mindless tale, often hitting dead-ends from where there can be no return to sanity.
Housefull 3 is strictly for fans of the franchise. Are there any left?

Housefull 3 is a no-brainer that can be enjoyed only by fans of Akshay. For people seeking for good jokes, check into one of your WhatsApp groups!

Sajid-Farhad had ample opportunities to make a genuinely campy situational comedy but bungled it. The actors involved try their hardest to rise above the material given to them. They are all at ease with each other and a little more directorial effort would have made it a nice ensemble film.
-
…may still find patronage among Akshay Kumar’s die-hard fans and those who can laugh at anything. Leaving the rest to pray that this may be the ‘Aakhri Pasta’ (the last installment) of this no brainer that was once upon a time an entertainer…
-
This is not a politically correct film by any standards and is quite unapologetic about it, except for a forced, unwittingly hilarious scene where the girls talk about kindness towards handicapped people.
-
Well Akshay, sorry to say this. But this is the most flaccid comedy of your career.
-
When a delightful Hollywood black comedy like The Nice Guys is playing in the theatre next to this movie, you wish you could get up and sneak into the other movie. But you are so deadened by the unfunny situational comedy unfolding in front that you just wait it out, let the movie die its slow painful death.
-
At some point, inevitably, the cinema screen in the dark hall starts competing with your little cellphone screen. Which is only fair. As our phones get smarter, our humour clearly appears to be getting dumber.
-
Unfortunately, Housefull 3 is so utterly brainless that it would be our stupidity to talk about technicalities here. From weak storyline to a series of plotholes, from repetitive comic sequences to a poor VFX, the film has a long list of demerits, which makes it fall flat on its face!

If your idea of humour is red ants crawling over a disabled man’s crotch or an old man farting as he mounts a bike or a blind man being asked to jump into a waterless pool, then I have two things for you.
1. You need help.
2. God bless you. -
Fans will happily rubbish reviews, this and we assure you many more, saying that critics are a bunch of grumpy people who don’t know how to take a joke. Haaa…critics are just people who find impossible to use their brains depending on a film’s genre. Movies are either good, bad or ugly and Housefull 3 is tragically ugly.
Housefull 3 cracked horrible jokes.
Housefull 3 offended. -
In all, if you laugh at almost anything, you could go watch this movie. Or if you worship Akshay Kumar or have really nothing to do and can bear some Bollywood cliché, go watch it.
