Golmaal 3 - A comedy show on big screen

The other day i enjoyed  a special concert by vachana band, an experiment by S R Ramakrishna and friends. One of the vachana by Allamma prabhu played by the band was very interesting for its philosophical meaning.
which read in following lines.
 a plant grew up without root or watering, 
which was eaten by an headless animal
a blind person saw this animal and 
a hunter with out hands caught and killed it.
 It was cooked  in a place  where there is no fire
and was offered to you my lord.


Keeping apart high philosophical value of this vachana if you apply the literal meaning of these verses to golmaal 3  i think that is the best way to analyse Rohit shetty's -golmaal phenomina
.
It has no story to root in , still for two hours  you can   sit and watch it,
It has no screenplay literally  except a string of  gags on bollywood,  1970s retro moments , 
You cannot enjoy goal mal if you have head ,
you have to swollow it without questions
but you cannot belittle the hearty laugh it offers 
there is no climax or any serious scene at all in golmaal 3,
 the plot which existed in Golmaal 1 and was still there in Golmaal returns has totally disappeared from Golmaal 3.  still you dont feel u have wasted ur money or time on it. 
The Link: It is about two gangs feuding each other.  Ajay Devgan, Kareena Kapur and Shreyas Talapade in one side Arshad Warsi, Tushar Kapur and Kunal Khemu, on the other side. They keep destroying each others business in most silly way. both gangs have back up of  comic ruffian financiers. But destiny brings them under one roof when their single parents Mithun chakravarthi and Ratna Pathak shah get married .
Both Mithun chakravarthi and Ratna Pathak shah ,  were lovers in their youth, had got separated from each other, because the girl's rich father wouldn't allow the penniless boy to marry her. Both remained unmarried and later adopted the boys .  

The Thumps downs: The 70 s flash back love story of Mithun and ratna looks too artificial  even for a smile. The song sequences, acting and direction does not give any thing new from golmaal 3. 
Comedy at some points is too blunt, dry and immature. 
Acing front Mithun is best, while Ratna Pathak Shah Kareena,  Arshad warsi and Ajay is good. Tushaar Kapur when compared his role in  the first two editions , havint got much impact. Comedian johny liver is wasted.
Entire story comprises of the song sequences , the feud between these two gangs presented in a silly and most childish way.


I am yet undecided whether to call this piece as a film review, because  i feel Golmaal 3 doesnot qualify to be a feature film . It is rather a pot pourie of gags and two liner comedy skits and songs woven in a loose plot.

Still dont miss it
If all you need is a heads off laughing watching headless comedy then Golmaal 3 is for you.


 To be precise it rather looks like a good comedy show in big screen. 
It is not the story as whole which makes us to watch the movie but the dialogs  that tickles the funny bone now and then.
