If after having tolerated the previous two movies we expected the third one to be any better frankly we should be asking Kya fool hain hum? For a film like this, audiences go in with a checklist knowing they will get cheeky double-meaning dialogues, and plenty of bosom and butt thrusts.
In this respect Kya Kool Hain Hum 3 does little to redeem itself. The infantile, tacky jokes can only make a pre-adolescent teenager chuckle and the blatant sexism and objectification of women is cringe worthy and nauseating.
Ekta Kapoor’s “rozgaar yojna” for Tushar Kapoor and Aftab Shivdasani ensures they continue their brand of ridiculous buffoonery as Kanhaiya and Rocky respectively.
From celebrating nani’s “69”th birthday to names like Merilee and Suckko there is precious little that tickles or entertains. Their histrionics wouldn’t be possible without the many “objects” for company.
So there is Mandana Karimi, Gezele Thakral, Claudia Ciesla and Meghna Naidu who brazen out the objectification and hyper active men like Krushna Abhishek , Shakti Kapoor and VJ Andy who bring little class or refinement.
The funniest joke for me was when the end credits revealed that it took one director, Umesh Ghadge and two writers (Milap Zaveri & Mushtaq Sheikh) to oversee this monstrous mess of a film.
Women in bikinis and sexual innuendoes can titillate to an extent. But after a point it’s just plain torture. To Pahlaj Nihalani’s sanskaari eyes all this porn might seem like innocuous fun but my advice would be to go for it only if you have a high threshold of tolerating trash.
I give it HALF A QUINT OUT OF 5. And all those who choose this over the beautifully crafted Airlift, you will be judged. Very harshly!
