Plot: A superstitious father decides to keep his three daughters unmarried for life until three men enter in the girls' lives and persuade the father to let them marry his daughters.
Review: The three men make their way to enter in the girls' house by pretending to be mute, blind and crippled. In every other scene each of the guys has to exchange their respective make-believe roles due to frequently arising confusion, which makes for the core humour of the film.
The movie includes an outrageous amount of racial slurs, reference to physical disabilities and deliberate offensiveness towards diseases, making it a film that could possibly be shun by a lot of viewers. The often jab of humour attempted by means of these references have not managed to stand out.
The story was not at all emphasized; rather the movie depended on star power, especially Akshay Kumar who exhibited his natural wit throughout the entire film.
The third instalment of the Houseful series has somewhat done better than its predecessors; bagging in a very strong cast, the movie has managed to do well at the box office. The romantic comedy collected Rs. 53.3 cr in its first weekend, making it an all-time opening weekend record for Akshay Kumar.
Overall, the movie lacked proper story and humour, and contained unnecessary slurs that as a whole make it an offensive film to watch with or without family or friends.
