Thumbs down by Samrat Sharma, fullhyd.com ... The rest of the film, burdened as it is by Johnny Lever and Mukesh Tiwari's nefarious doings on top of eight actors doing their thing to bring out the laughs, fails to fly, and instead crashes and burns often, and with amazing accuracy. ... full review

Thumbs up by Divya Solgama, Gomolo.in ...well supported by Arshad Warsi who was wasted in part 2... full review
Thumbs down by Mayank Shekhar, Hindustan Times ...The filmmakers have six main actors to juggle with, and as many side comedians to lend parts to. There’s a deadline (Diwali) to meet. Never mind the narrative, they’d be happy with as any corny antics and dialogues with whoever’s available. You can cheat shots for actors not present. Shoddiness shows.... full review
So-So by Rajeev Masand, IBN Live ...It’s the funniest scene in the film, because nobody says a word throughout, and because the expressions of the actors are priceless as they react to the pain that must come from being sodomized by foreign objects.... full review
Thumbs down by Kaveree Bamzai, india today ...From Johnny Lever to Vrijesh Hirjee who does his no longer funny snake dance, from Ashwini Kalsekar, the English speaking fisherwoman, to Mukesh Tiwari, the "vasooli" who doesnt understand her but loves her anyway, they seem far more interesting than either Shreyas Talpade or Tusshar Kapoor.... full review

Thumbs up by Sarita Tanwar, MiD DAY ...Johnny Lever's jet-ski sequence is a bit stretched and hampers the flow to some extent.... full review
Thumbs down Mixed Bag ...Kareena didn’t overact; Johnny Lever went overboard, but good; Arshad Warsi and Ratna Pathak Shah’s acts were nicely balanced throughout the movie. ... full review
So-So Movie Talkies ...Shetty's homage to Mithun is really well appreciated as he re creates the 'Disco Dancer' persona of the actor along with the two evergreen numbers, 'I am a Disco Dancer' and 'yaad aa raha hai'. But did he then have to spoil the whole effect and have that entire episode of the dog fastening himself to Pritam's rear end?... full review
Thumbs down by Arjun P S, MyReviews ...Technically: Not bad Music: Not good... full review
Thumbs down by Noyon Jyoti Parasara, Now Running.com ...The minor characters of Johnny Lever, Sanjay Mishra, Mukesh Tiwari and Murli Sharma shine better than the main cast. ... full review
Thumbs up by Sethumadhavan , Passion for Cinema ...What’s also interesting is that it’s not the actual Golmaal gang which contributes to the fun, but it’s a host of others who really deserve the credit for making the movie watchable... full review
Thumbs up by Ankit Ojha, Planet Bollywood ...Cinematography is extremely good; you can actually see some really good frame composition here, combined with captivating visuals... full review
Thumbs down by Raja Sen, Rediff ...Arshad Warsi is killing all the streetside-cred he's built up with bhai-sidekick roles by overdoing it. ... full review
Thumbs down by Shilpa Jamkhandikar, Reuters ...I cannot think of a single scene that has clever writing or a genuine comic moment.... full review
Thumbs down by Khalid Mohamed, Review and views uncensored ...Akshay Kumar bores as the Geek God. Aishwarya Rai Bachchan is mediocrity personified. Aditya Roy Kapoor hogs the footage but is unequal to the task.... full review
So-So by Sonia Chopra, Sify Movies ...The film has a whiff of Basu Chaterjee’s Khatta Meetha mixed with the requisite madness of the Golmaal series.... full review

So-So by Janhvi Patel, StarBoxOffice ...strictly for fans of the actors and the film franchise... full review
Thumbs up by K K Rai, STARDUST ...The movie successfully tickles your funny bones but please do not expect any brainer here. ... full review
Thumbs up by Nikhat Kazmi, Times of India ...Kareena's vibrant, vivacious and ekdum bindaas, almost in sync with the outrageous palette of colours that Rohit Shetty uses for the sets and costumes of his film. You can't be sad, mournful or morose after the colour blast -- red, yellow, orange, pink, purple -- that hits you in this over-the-top film. ... full review
So-So by flyingrodent, Upper Stall ...But that's what you are probably going for when you do watch this Diwali offering, so the length of it and the stagnation of the wafer thin plot might not hurt much. It is not pretentious, goes all out to make you laugh, even if its at the sheer silliness of it all. ... full review
Thumbs down by Kunal Guha, yahoo! India ...The film also has an unnecessary twist, possibly added to give you something to exercise your, by now, sleepy mind.... full review

I couldn't watch the trailer. I can't see myself surviving this movie if I am indeed coerced into watching it.
And I just realised that I have been using two email accounts on this site. So now there are two Rahuls here. :D
@Rahul how sad that we have such apprehensions and there the film-makers are going about saying, you liked our earlier films, so here you go...
you have two ids and you still are one of wogma's top commenter. thank you!
I'm sorry, I didn't like any of the movies.
The "trilogy" is basically a financial investment and not a film - and maybe that distinction is there. There are people who want to see it, and there are people who don't want to see but that doesn't change the fact that the entire trilogy is backed by only one motive - being the diwali blockbuster of the year.
Slapstick is great, but only if they earnestly strive to make a slapstick movie- Govinda movies in the 90s. I would much rather watch those than a business deal disguised as a film.
(Okay too harsh, but Tusshar Kapoor, esp in Golmaal annoys the **** out of me!)
@swetha ha ha ha...business deal? does that mean there was a 3-movie deal, or does that mean if the third film is a financial success there will be a fourth one.
I watched the first one out of lack of choice (one of those spend the evening with your friends type) and barring a very very few scenes it was all nonsense. I love comedy but not this kind where scenes and characters are created purely in the hope of making people laugh. There are some that succeed but Golmaal wasn't one of those. Anyway why am I writing about what I thought of the first film ---- guess I got carried away by the idea of 'trilogy' that Swetha mentioned.
Golmaal Returns - hmm guaranteed more nonsense so I skipped it except like about 15 mins of the movie that I happened to watch while I was switching channels and was glad I skipped it.
This third one - I have no intention of watching it whatsoever not because it does or doesn't give me entertainment but more because I feel that each time the Indian audiences (i.e. people in general) are making a 10 step progress in the way they think, it is movies like these that pull them back by 9.
@nirmal the thing is, its not people like you or me who dont like these movies that decide the fate. It's the other people who liked the first two editions that will make that visit to the theater
Absolutely.. Totally agree
Yes a commercial deal- with pathetic attempt to create humor out of people's disabilities. I am sure humor can be more creative, mature and inclusive. In the times and age of movies like "Tare Zamin Par", this movie is retrogressive and irresponsible.
This movie will only strengthen foolish stereotypes about stammerers and promote teasing of children in schools and discrimination in work place. Is this kind of humor we deserve in 2010?
I liked the movie..it was based on the old movie "Khatta Meetha" and overall the movie was enough to make the audience laugh.The movie is a must watch on the theatres,if you watch it in DVD then the enjoyment would get halved.Go and watch it in theatres for sure!:)
nice review by poonam well done. Incidentally I was taken to movie by my son.I almost agree with the review.one time pass its ok yes there is no plot no serious issue nothing like that. lovers meeting at old age and young orphan girl making them united and get married. comedy of sorts. tolerable for one time view in my opinion. end of the rohit shetty has added some shooting sequences which gives an idea of what way the people undergo stress and strain and how they manage.
nothing more to write.
Well, watched this movie purely because of this review. Had read Poonam's reviews of Jhing Chik Jhing on her blog and had seen it later. And I am glad that i saw that movie (also, summer 2007 was her recommendation). She is once again bang on with her review. As she said you get a feeling that the movie is stretched for no reason, especially the 2nd half of the movie has much of these scenes. Still, as poonam says, the movie is a 3 hr (i think 2 hrs and 40 minutes) of standup done by hell lot of actors. Golmal 3 is a sure laughter medicine despite some scenes. Pretty good especially after golmal 2. The rating options are not suitable. Had to give "so-so" rating when it is better than that, but not a "Yay"!
well l have not seen this movie(golmaal 3) yet but u must be made sure that l have VERY VERY HIGH HOPES!!! . everyone says that its is a superb film and I must watch it so l am going to watch it today itself i.e. 13th november 2010.it IS going to be fabulous and 100 percent comedy and all those who are reading this thing please please please book your tickets now and see rohit shetty's ''tisra ajooba'' as l call it.quick hurry up now dont waste your precious time.
@Wardhaman the rating options are limited, intentionally. so that readers can give a quick assesment.
found this little irritating with all the stammering...
i like the film
http://hindifilmcity.com
such a fantastic movie with packets of laughter in it.
Golmaal 3 was full Dhamaal.
I loved this movie alot.
Kunal dialogue was rocking.
golmaal3 was very nice
the best!!!!!!!!!
Super Flop,
Total nonsense,
Waste of money and time of the public and of the director and the film crew itself.
ROHIT S H I T T Y.....
A Blunderful experience.....
But surely if one sees this,
He'll become sincere enough in the future to thoughtfully choose a movie before watching...
Whatever the above commenters are blabbering, mind it,
It IS NOT a good movie.
Even calling it a movie is too much...
Unmitigated jest and frolic- yes, also unmitigated humbug: it teaches Indians to laugh and mock people with disability for "pure fun"! It apologises to dogs, at the opening- but not to people with disabilities..!!
That is the limit of insensitivity. Pardonable in 1947- I guess..
@Joydeep I haven't watched 'Khatta Meetha', but I sure was relieved that movie made me laugh. Which is lot more than I could ever say about Golmaal 2.
@praneshachar: Thanks so much for your comments here. Yeah, I waited to watch the shooting scenes in end, some of them were hilarious.
@Wardhaman Thanks for the kind words. Yea, I thought it was a stand comedy show one that could easily be improvised each time without altering/impacting its non-existent plot. :) What did you mean when you said - 'Golmal 3 is a sure laughter medicine despite some scenes' What scenes you found objectionable/irritating?
@Mallika That's quite some enthusiasm, I am curious to know what you thought of the movie AFTER you watched it. ;)
@Yakub The stammering fit well in situational comedy and game of rejoinders, that I didn't much notice the irritation it may have caused to some. To each his/her own.
@Dr. Sachin: I do not remember a single instance where disability per se was being made fun of in a derogatory manner. No character was put down solely because it was mute or stammering, rather laughs happened due to situations/reactions that mute rejoinders/stammered replies created/evoked. Which is not so much different than laughing at gullibility of Vasooli or amnesiac portrayal of Johnny Lever. In truth, we try to make light of even could-have-been-dangerous moments. Don't we jest when even able-people trip or fall or makes similar mistakes. Or, would we prefer a sanctimonious mourning? Not only that, I loved the scene where Tusshar Kapoor's mute character goes to break the secret of their birth to everyone and for once they all (including the step-brothers) understand perfectly without a shred of doubt.
What would you prefer - differently-abled lead characters that can laugh at themselves and give equally back or morose disabled characters (often part of sub-plots) that only evoke pity? Personally, I would judge a movie/book/comedy based on its intention - and in this case, I didn't think it was insensitive. It's good to laugh on idiosyncrasies that life offers.
I totally loved Mithun in this movie never new he had such comic timing;
Some the dialogues in the over -extended scenes with 'guddi' sound good not cheesy at all.
Some times mindless comedys r fun and everyone wants a good laugh and not rona dhona.
@nirmal "each time the Indian audiences (i.e. people in general) are making a 10 step progress in the way they think, it is movies like these that pull them back by 9."
Take a chill pill , at the end of the day film business is a money making business One cant have TAARE ZAMEEN PAR all time.
I still dont get that thing of" Indian Audiences and their maturity" If u dont like a film its ur opinion and dont watch it dont comment bout others.
Everybody makes some senseless movie take for eg HOLLYWOOD- bOUNTY HUNTER
Expendables tO name a few and they r hits
R u going to comment on every audience world wide .Take a break and Pleeease dont take that high ground .
Wait, you five F.A.L.T.U a lower score than a Golmaal 3
Really?
I'm 100% sure the direction and screenplay of F.A.L.T.U even with inconsistencies and plot holes would be much above this.
*Give F.A.L.T.U a lower score than a Golmaal 3
@yeahhh I think the discrepancy is because I didn't review Golmaal 3, I actually hated the film, so yes, it'd have certainly received a lower rating than FALTU :D
