The film is about 2 families, one consisting of Pritam(Mithun Chakraborty), Madhav(Arshad Warsi), Lucky(Tusshar Kapoor), Laxman(Kunal Khemu) and other one consists of Geeta(Ratna Pathak), Gopal(Ajay Devgan), Daboo(Kareena Kapoor), Laxman(Shreyas Talpade). How they get linked to each other through co-incidences and develop hatred towards each other, but they aren't aware of their parents past which will have a affect on them.

There is too much of one-liners in the film, forced comedy trying hard to make you laugh and it works too if I take into account the people in theatre though not the case with me. The car destroying or boats too is getting a touch too much. The characters of Puppy, Daga and Teja played by Johnny Lever, Sanjay Mishra and Vrajesh Hirjee were interesting in parts, average writing was the culprit here.

The plus side remains the performances especially Kareena who seems to be in total form here. The songs are nice but they lack that appealing effect, in a way there was no chartbuster song in the album.

Screenplay is good. Direction wise, All the Best was way better entertainment film then this one. Editing was good. Dialogues are poorly written.

Ale and Apna har din are the best used songs in the film. Disco dancer and yaad aa raha hai fail to make a mark while the title is used as credits.

Ajay Devgan is good, the look goes very well on him.. he infact to some extent has less screen presence, still he shines in his part. Kareena Kapoor continues her good run as far as her performances go, the character suited her image a lot or maybe the character was written with her in mind.

Kunal Khemu has this habit of trying to speak funny lines/phrases that end of wierd or very wierd. He was quite good. Shreyas Talpade and Tusshar Kapoor were fine. Tusshar's role is getting monotonous to some extent I feel, wont be bad to omit him in next series. Arshad Warsi was very good, for a change his role was very well written and properly used too, otherwise he is mostly seen overplaying his character.

Mithun Chakraborty didnt impress me at all. Even his disco dancer looked bad. Ratna Pathak was impressive as always.

Johnny Lever was quite good. Sanjay Mishra's role could had been much better.


Overall, Golmaal3 despite good performances and screenplay fails to deliver just because it simply over-tries to entertain you and bad writing makes the matters worse. But since the film is doing well at boxoffice, Golmaal4 with almost similar treatment would come too. Only thing I can say is, maybe this film is meant for the aam janta, but not the film lovers especially not me atleast.
