A review on Golmaal 3.
Golmaal 3 can be best summed up as cocktail of heavy-dose zest, chaos, and pun and surely way better than Rohit’s preceding works. With his triumvirate version, he has brought on fresh hooks to net the audience, and a cast so funny that even seeing them surf on a bumpy road is enough to create moments of mirth and mayhem. Each of the characters as they plop on the screen with aplomb give us guffaws wide enough to land a jet plane in. Here is a peek-a-boo at the characters that forms the gusty Golmaal gang:
Pritam (Mithun Chakraborthy): Pritam is a bus driver and a father of two adopted sons. He is an ex- dancer who fell in love with a girl some disco light years ago. His famed response to Prem Chopra (the girl’s papa from hell) rejoinder “Kaha Gangu Teli…aur kaha Raja Bhoj” is a cheeky “I don’t know where they are”. He remains unmarried since the villainy Papa doesn’t agree to the match.
Guddi (Ratna Pathak Shah): Guddi plays the love interest of Pritam.
You really wish Guddi of yesteryear to look better…her skin sags and her clothes look like a heap of mess! A dab of make-up and a shimmering saree of the 70s would have surely done the trick. Even Pritam looks like a sore thumb in terms of his appearance. Wish Rohit had come up with some more interesting bib and tucker for his actors.
Gopal (Ajay Devgan): Gopal is the adopted son of Guddi (though unaware of the same). A straight “ungli” thrust on his face is enough to reveal his Hulk-like qualities; a twisted finger and a few broken bones are the upshots of his one-sided combats.
Laxman 1 (Shreyas Talpade): Laxman is Guddi’s second adopted son and who is referred to as a “Comma” on account of his frequent stutters between mumbles and mutters.
Lucky (Tushar Kapoor): If Laxman is a “comma”, then Lucky is a “full stop” since he can utter not more than three syllables and still be mighty comprehensible! He is Pritam’s adopted son.
Daboo (Kareena Kapoor): Daboo is the tough girl who also has a tender heart
to surmise the re-bloomed love between Guddi and Preetam, and strives to unite them. In the process, she tots up some funny cuss words a la Bhenchik, Madar launde, Maa ka Ghosla, and Chuziye. She is also Gopal’s girl friend too.
Laxman 2 (Kunal Khemu): Laxman unlike his namesake doesn’t stutter along the way, but pulls out all commas and stops to mouth some of the choicest crap. Sample: Chidya hai toh Ghosle hai, harsha hai toh Bhogle hai aur aasha hai toh Bhonsle hai. He is Pritam’s second son.
Madhav (Arshad Warsi): Madhav doesn’t have any resounding
qualities about him; but his antics and facial expressions are enough to fit him into a funny mould. Madhav is the quintessential dada minus the brawns and who is the first to hide his ungli when confronted by the Hulk-o-heap Gopal who seethes with anger on espying one.
All hell breaks loose when the paths of the twin bunch of brothers meet. Result is fireworks and sparks, and a comical treat for the audience to savor. A twist in this tale comes when Guddi and Pritam meet by chance and romance begins brewing between them. Their warring sons are forced to stay in the same house after the marriage of their respective parents.
Though really zany at times, the film takes you through one whirlwind of a laughthon with its fun quotient dipping only towards the end. You really wish for more of the crazy fare and witty exchanges between the characters. All in all, a good Diwali treat and worth visiting the theatres for a fair share of laughs and thrills.

Puppy Bhai (Johnny Lever): Puppy is a delightful Bhai who forgets things at the drop of a hat and his batting of eyelids is an indicator of the bedlam to begin. In his scatty state, he morphs into a conductor whirring an imaginary chain, does a famous jig a la Pa (Amitabh) and also pans Amir’s forgetful nature in Ghajini.
