Housefull 3,A classy film for people with crass taste, “Housefull 3” seriously blows your sensibilities away.

The film is without a doubt creatively designed with quirky character traits, good locales, glamorous images and incredible gags that hit the zero denominator much too often.

The narrative starts off as an afterthought, with a confusing and inexplicable heist that takes place in central London, which occurred six years earlier.

We are then transported to the present-day London where we are introduced to Bhatook Patel (Boman Irani) and his three daughters Ganga aka Gracy (Jacqueline Fernandes), Jamuna aka Jenny (Lisa Haydon) and Saraswati aka Sarah (Nargis Fakhri). At a party, Bhatook vehemently declares: “I’ll never get my daughters married.” And he has his reasons.

Bhatook finds excuses to prevent his daughters from getting married and how three guys — Sandy aka Sundy (Akshay Kumar) a footballer, Teddy (Riteish Deshmukh) a car racer and Bunty (Abhishek Bachchan) a rapper — corner him into accepting them, forms the crux of the tale.

There are other minor digressions too, which complicate our prospective trio’s chances.

The directors — who have also written the story, script and dialogues of the film — have whipped up all the tropes of the comedy genre to give us a mish-mash of unpalatable entertainment.

With dialogues like, “Will you be my tawaif… Err wife”, or “Suck the ants from my pants” with metre and rhyme, there is poetry in the dialogues as well as the lyrics, too. Also, transliterated dialogues like; “Humlog bachche nahin bana rahen hain…”, which meant, “We are not kidding”, prompts a chuckle. But too many of such transliterated jokes over-eggs the humour.
