Any decent movie must either tell a good story or provide good experience. Though there is not much to call a story in Golmaal 3, it does provide a good experience nevertheless. Also, it is a mad caper spoof of several Bollywood movies – both retro and current.

There are plenty of reasons to boast of a successful and moneymaking trilogy and when this is a first-time instance in the history of Bollywood, the reasons multiply exponentially. A bit of exaggeration, but the third of the ‘Golmaal’ trilogy, ‘Golmaal 3’ is the worst of the three. Nonetheless, a smart trick to set the cash bells bursting with the date of the release clashing with Diwali.

If you laughed in the 1st one and didnt like the 2nd. G3 will entertain you in bits and pieces.

After the disastrous sequel, Golmaal has bounced back with considerable verve and I’m surely looking forward to this franchise continuing. What makes it interesting is the variance that Rohit brings to the plot keeping the salient features of the main characters intact. The team seems to be enjoying the Golmaal experience and that’s quite visible throughout the film, accentuated further by the cheeky self-referencing closing shot. I just wish that they continue with the same verve and enthusiasm that they made Golmaal 3 with and leave out the melodrama. This is what “Leave your brains home” entertainment is.

Hairbrained comedy, that entertains, nevertheless! The storyline (or the lack of it!) does little for the film. It's the characters, with their idiosyncratic absurdities, that hook you to the film. From Tushaar Kapoor's aaa eeee oooo aaaeee to Ajay Devgn's finger-twisting acts to Kunal Khemu's unrhyming (and absolutely senseless!) shayari, to Daga's (Jonhy Lever's sidekick) screwed up spellings, the film is a fun ride! But it's the otherwise inconspicuous Tushaar Kapoor aka Lucky, who takes it away this time. His mute act has gotten him more than what his 9-year (doomed) film career has.

G3 takes you back yet again to the 1980s cine-maa. [Are directors today really fascinated by the bygone era or just short of ideas - Dil Chahta Hai, Main Hoo Na, Golmaal 1, Billu Barber, Once Upon a Time in Mumbaai, I Hate Louv Storys, Action Replayy, and now Golmaal 3, offer little more than a peek-a-boo into the 70s, 80s era]. The atmospherics, nevertheless, are a welcome change. Mithunda's disco dancer avatar is as hilarious and fun as his hackneyed dialogues, or the camera zooming and panning. Theatre artist Ratna Pathak (of the recent Sarabhai vs Sarabhai fame), opposite Mithunda, is convincing to say the least.

Kareena Kapoor is her usual bubbly self, overdoing her bit sometimes but mostly pleasing. We've seen better of Arshad Warsi in the Munnabhai series. [After the release of Munnabhai Chale Amrika, he'd be the only bollywood actor to be part of two (and only) Bollywood trilogies]. The most annoying character, I thought, was Jonhy Lever. Completely unnecessary! His 'supposed' schticks hardly evoke a laugh.

The film does lose steam in parts, but is definitely the best in the Golmaal franchise. A one-time watch for all you die-hard movie buffs.
PS - For all Golmaal fans, the fourth one is on its way!
