Golmaal 3 (2010)
2/10
What a sad, sad film. Ironic for a "comedy".
7 November 2010
Regarding Golmaal... as the next one comes out, its quality goes down. Rohit Shetty thought that the formula he used in Golmaal 2 (no strong storyline, cheap, PJ humour, loose funny sequences tied together) would work in 3 as well. 2 was a hit. And I think this one will be too. But, God... why did it have to come out on Diwali? All the lights just went out.

No, seriously, I swear it. I believe that what constitutes a good film, regardless of a weak storyline, bad script, everything, is if it's able to make you feel the emotions you're supposed to feel. If that happens, then the movie qualifies, because then you know it has a soul. That is exactly the reason why a non-sensical movie like Kick-Ass was a blockbuster. It made you FEEL it. Golmaal... bekaar.

And to add to the fact that this film has no soul, it has a very average script, very poor music, no storyline at all, poor sense of humour, OK-OK direction. Alright, I agree that the performances were good... but what's the point trying to give your best in something, when, well, there IS nothing to give your best in! Yes, exactly, that's my point. The purpose of this film was to give bollywood its first ever trilogy, and to try to spread laughter this Diwali. But then, you only ever laugh at a good joke, that makes you FEEL itself! That is why only rare comedy's have provided genuine laugher... like Bheja Fry, Hera Pheri, etc! Even Golmaal 1 had a soul. But no, the soul preferred to leave in 2. And it didn't bother to come back for the three. I give it two stars for the two times out of I-don't-know-how-many it made me laugh, genuinely.

This is the problem with Bollywood. As I've said in one of my articles on Bollywood (Quantity + Lack of Originality = Bollywood found on http://hubpages.com/hub/Quantity-Lack-of-Originality-Bollywood), there's a reason why Bollywood has produced the maximum number of films and 0 Oscars.

Seriously... people need to start thinking before making a film. It's all in the mind. You have a good idea, use your mind for that, use your hand and all the greatest trained people to give that idea shape. And tell me which person calls that product bad.

Move on, Bollywood. The world has. Don't get left behind. Life is, after all, despite what 3 Idiots says, "a race".
