If you are reading this story, you’re clearly a fan of Sajid Khan’s Housefull series. At the risk of offending your sensibilities, after his last debacle, Humshakals, I can’t fathom why he wants to make any more movies? But, this third installment has been directed by Farhad Samji and Sajid Samji, under the Nadiadwala production banner.
I watched the trailer – Housefull 3, that is – keeping all my past experiences and prejudices aside. The opening scene gave me a feeling of déjà vu and I’ll tell you why. It opens with Boman Irani, a rich Indian living in a huge-ass mansion in London with his three gorgeous daughters and Housefull 2 had a similar opening scene. I suggest they approach Mukesh Ambani to play Boman’s role, in Housefull 4 (if there’s going to be another one in the series). It’d seem more real! Jokes apart, the plot, the scenes, the location, everything reminds me of the previous two movies in the series.
Talking about the star cast, besides Jacqueline Fernandez who was also in part 2, this movie also features Nargis Fakhri and Lisa Haydon. As far as the actors are concerned, Abhishek Bachchan has replaced John Abraham. What was comforting was seeing Akshay Kumar and Riteish Deshmukh doing what they are best at – comedy and silly one-liners. No one can do it as well as they do.
The movie also stars Jackie Shroff, who plays the bad guy in the movie. The plot isn’t new: the father (Boman) borrows money from mafia and the three heroes save him!No, wait, don’t yawn yet. We are hoping the songs and dances will keep us awake. But, I don’t tend to judge a book by its cover, so I’ll wait to watch the movie and then pass my verdict. For now, check out the trailer and tell us what you think of Housefull 3.
