Review of 'Golmaal 3'

Directed by Rohit Shetty,the director of the previous two 'Golmaal' films and 'All the Best', Golmaal 3 is the third film of the immensely successful 'Golmaal' franchise. Though the first two films were no Einsteins,the third film has an exceptionally low IQ. You seriously have to leave your brains home if you want to enjoy this one.

The film starts very promisingly,with good one-liners and funny gags.Though there are few laugh-out-loud moments,most one-liners bring about a smirk on your face.Till the interval,there is no problem as long as you don't think much.It is the after-interval part that slips up.The fragile story shows.The director,in his bid to lengthen the film, introduces many slo-mo fight scenes and car-blowing scenes.The film would have been greatly benefited if there would not have been such long-winded scenes.

I won't discuss much about the plot since there isn't one. But,the actors have comfortably fitted into their moulds.Ajay Devgn as a man who gets mad on seeing a finger plays his part very well,especially with his crew-cut hair and goofy expressions.Kareena Kapoor plays her role of a tomboy well and cracks some good jokes.Arshad Warsi plays his role to perfection and some of the expressions that he gives are hilarious.Tushshar Kapoor's dumb act sometimes gets on your nerves but he has performed an emotional scene decently.Kunal Khemu as a person who always speaks metaphorically is good.Shreyas Talpade as the stuttering brother is very good,too.Mithun Chakrobarty as the father of Warsi,Kapor and Khemu is excellent.Watch out for him in the scene involving Prem Chopra.Ratna Pathak Shah is very good and continues to do well in the dry and sarcastic humour that is now her trademark.However,it is Johnny Lever who steals the show as a don who has the habit of forgetting.Vrajesh Hirjee and Sanjay Mishra as the sidekicks of Johnny Lever are very good and the latter's spelling mistakes are funny.But,it seems that no 'Golmaal' movie is complete without Vrajesh Hirjee showing off his snake tattoo.The side actors are decent in their roles,too.The film has the trademark Rohit Shetty colours and action sequences.

This is a warning:Don't watch the film if you think too much.This film is for those people who like hare-brained comedies.The film would not have been good enough if it had been done by other actors.For all those who love Johnny Lever,you are going to love this film.Don't watch this movie expecting too much and you may like it.Though the movie doesn't deliver what it promises,you never end up being bored.I will go with 3 out of five for Golmaal 3.Watch it for Johnny Lever,he is fantastic.
