What irks me is to see such crude, racist, sexist, objectionable content getting green signal from censor while they are cutting/banning content driven films in the name of cuss words or gory scenes.. These kind of trash (read houseful 3) is not even slapstick comedy but plain derogatory.
Sample these "hateful eight" points:-
1. One can't simply turn a blind eye to the enormous effort put in by writer-director duo Sajid-Farhad to ridicule multiple forms of handicap and then defend it by throwing in a church scene at its fag end, wherein a priest after Bollywood's own heart spews lectures like "Awww you did it for love." Of course, they did, for THE LOVE OF THE BOX OFFICE.
2. Housefull's tradition of lowbrow humour is faithfully carried on through Housefull 3's relentless stock of sexist and racist jokes.
African guy appears on screen - hilarious. huh!
Insinuate a black housemaid slept with a Indian who couldn't tell because it was dark side-splitting.
Hysterectomy is great advice because nobody would want to marry a woman who can't conceive - now that's just priceless? But, hey, look at the bright side -no homophobic jokes. If this isn't an improvement, what is?
3. Did you know there are more than 50 ways to express 'Huh?' Jacqueline Fernandez, Lisa Haydon and Nargis Fakhri dedicate their entire screen time to the cause, only to watch Aishwarya Rai Bachchan's far more expressive wax mannequin steal the show.
4. Comedy is pulverizing the English and Hindi languages to babble baloney. In Housefull 3, the girls don't have too many lines but, when they do, they change into Ajay Devgn's character from Bol Bachchan in reverse.
And so, in mambo jumbo tongue, "Kaamwali gayi kaamwali gayi" is "Let bygones be bygones", and "Paal-pos ke oopar ja" translates to 'Grow up'! Right.
5. Ever seen dogs lift their leg to pee against a lamppost, Tyre or tree? Incredible how Housefull 3 finds creative inspiration in that most unbecoming of sights and choreographs an entire song and dance devoted to this act in Taang uthake.
6. Discover deep metaphors on how intently Housefull 3 focuses on its leading ladies' long legs (they deserve individual billing in the credits), as if to atone for Akshay Kumar's phony immobility.
7. There's Abhishek, mouthing lines off Amitabh Bachchan's movies and posing next to his statue at Madame Tussauds for a selfie. Could they be related?
8. Housefull 3's second most remarkable piece of acting comes from an army of CGI ants. To divulge more would be such a spoiler so I'll refrain.
Still curious about this hokum? Clearly, sarcasm is not your cup of tea but there's good reason to believe Housefull 3 might be. If only I could say 'enjoy' this trash & ignore some recent gems like Phobia, Waiting or Upcoming Te3n, Udta Punjab, Raman Raghav or Madaari..
May be somewhere I feel we as an audience deserve this trash..
