Golmaal 3 Movie Review: Thrice the Fun, For Sure

Posted by admin on Nov 5th, 2010 | 1 comment

Just as promised, Golmaal 3 is three times funnier than its predecessors. Making India’s first trilogy work is a difficult thing with a lot of responsibility to sustain the rhythm paved by the first two hits of the series, but director Rohit Shetty has managed to breeze his way this Diwali with a superhit material in his hands.

Story:

Gopal (Ajay Devgn) lives with his brother Laxman (Shreyas Talpade), mom Geeta (Ratna Pathak Shah) and girl pal Kareena Kapoor (Daboo). The other brats, Madhav (Arshad Warsi), Lucky (Tusshar Kapoor) and Laxman (Kunal Khemu) live with their dad Pritam (Mithun Chakraborty). The warning boys are always at logger-heads with each other, but the trouble sets in when the foster parents decide to marry. However, the road to marriage is not easy because the boys are not too happy with the Hum Saath Saath Hai logic; through Kareena tries her best appease both parties.

What works for Golmaal 3:

Rohit Shetty has a tough job at being funny and since he has put in a truckload of actors and character actors, he has to justify each of them. He does a good job at this; he makes every individual in the movie stand out in terms of a character trait. Ajay Devgn is hot-headed, Arshad Warsi is a rogue, Sanjay Mishra makes spelling mistakes and Johnny Lever is an absent-minded thief; everyone in the movie has one flaw that raises the laughs. The dialogues and puns flow and the madness do not stop throughout the film. Apart from the comedy, one may also say this is the most visually appealing movie from the director. He still showcases Goa but there has hardly been any movie that has made this town look this colorful. If you look for a plot in this film, you are watching a wrong film. But if you want to chill out and enjoy clean comedy with clever punch lines and car chases, you are on your way to be entertained thoroughly.

What does not work for Golmaal 3:

It would be better if Rohit Shetty was more imaginative in getting a better ending to the movie, rather than the typical ‘all on the house’ ending he has been doing for the first two parts, often reminiscent of what director Priyadarshan does in most of this films. Though in a multicarrier comedy, one does have to go that way many a time, it could have been better if there was more imaginative humor and situations rather than the predictable ones.

Performances in Golmaal 3:

It is not possible to isolate a single one performance as one, as it is a clubbed effort. All of them are good and effective, Ajay Devgn with his grunge look, cropped haircut and diamond studs looks menacing, Kareena Kapoor is spunky and cheerful, Tusshar as usual brings the whole house down as a speech marvel; Shreyas Talpade and Arshad Waris impress big time while Kunal Khemu, the new entrant is funny as well. Rohit always manages to make his character actors stands out and give them their due. So in this respect, three people, Ratna Pathak Shah, Mithun Chakraborty and Johnny Lever are absolute riot. The other regulars Vrajesh Hirjee, Viju Khote, Ashwini Kalsekar, Sanjay Mishra and Mukesh Tiwari definitely make the whole proceedings quite entertaining.

Conclusion: Watch Golmaal 3, it is just about the perfect way to enjoy your Diwali holidays.
