Director: Rohit Shetty

The 2006 release of Golmaal created a rage in Hindi cinema, with fans forming lines outside the theater to watch the rip roaring blockbuster, the sequel (Golmaal Returns) too was met with great response and this Diwali the comedy king is making way with the third part of the series Golmaal 3, whether this one is the bigger hit than the previous ones let’s find out. Though Action Replayy, which released alongside G3 goes in a backward swing by recreating the seventies era, Golmaal too draws its inspiration from there only.

Ratna Pathak plays the role of an unmarried mother of two, Ajay Devgn and Shreyas Talpade, Pappu (Mithun) is an unmarried father of three children, Arshad Warsi, Tusshar Kapoor, and Kunal Khemu, both Ratna and Mithun had a past which resurfaces when they meet after several years. Kareena Kapoor plays the cupid who reunites the old couple despite knowing that their kids are always at loggerheads with each other. How they come together follows series of gags and deliberate attempts to appear comic.

The film has an imbecile plot and nonsensical screenplay, the moment gags go missing from the story the film starts trudging along, music by Pritam is loud and ruckus however going by previous credentials, Golmaal 3 will probably make you laugh but the quality of the series is deteriorating movie after movie.

One of the jokes that’s got seriously old is Tusshar, who is back at acting dumb again. By that I mean he makes the weirdest of noises, pulls the strangest of faces, squeals and screeches, and manages to be supremely communicative only to Arshad and Kunal. These three are at loggerheads with Ajay and Shreyas for no good reason, other than giving both sides a chance to growl at each other, and for Mr Devgn to indulge in his favourite trick in this film : he likes breaking fingers which are shaken at him.

If you enjoyed watching GOLMAAL and GOLMAAL RETURNS, chances are you'll like GOLMAAL 3. It's a funny but capricious ride.
