Principal photography for the film began in March 2010 in Mumbai, Goa and Hyderabad.[5] The storyline is partially inspired from Basu Chatterjee's 1978 film Khatta Meetha which itself was based on the 1968 film Yours, Mine and Ours.[6][7]

Golmaal 3 was released on 5 November 2010. In 2014, the film was remade in Telugu as Pandavulu Pandavulu Tummada featuring Mohan Babu, Manchu Vishnu, Manchu Manoj, Varun Sandesh, and Raveena Tandon.[8] The film received mixed reviews, with praise for its humour and performances, but criticism for its repetitive jokes and narrative.

A sequel, Golmaal Again, was released in 2017, retaining most of the primary cast along with Prakash Raj, Neil Nitin Mukesh, Tabu and Parineeti Chopra, and Nana Patekar giving a special appearance.

Plot

The story follows Pritam, an elderly bus driver. His three good-for-nothing sons, Madhav the group leader; Laxman the poetic idiot; and Lucky the innocent mute are always up to trouble, mostly by scamming people. On the other hand, Geeta is an elderly woman, whose two sons, Laxman the stammerer; and Gopal the strong but kind leader; own a water sports stall at the beach. Gopal and Laxman's partner is Daboo on whom Gopal has a crush, but never shows it.

Three robbers Pappi, Daga and Teja rob the queen's necklace and are on the run from the police and end up in Goa. Pappi, the don, who suffers from short-term memory, hides the necklace in Pritam's house. Soon enough, Pritam's sons open a water sports shack opposite Geeta's sons' stall, and a rivalry begins. Filled with mayhem, both the groups try to take down each other's business but fail hilariously. In response to this, Pritam goes to meet Geeta (unaware that they are Geeta's sons) to sort this rivalry out and learns that Geeta is his college sweetheart. Daboo overhears their love story, and decides to get the two married, without their sons' permissions.

After the marriage, the two families start living in one house, filled with non-stop laughs and mayhem. It is also revealed to the five sons that they are not Pritam and Geeta's sons but orphans after overheard by Lucky. The boys vow not to tell the couple that they know that they are orphans and to hide that, they become friendly like brothers. They also open a big shop of toys aided by Vasooli Bhai (who is another not-a-don don) and Pappi for money. Pappi eventually remembers where he hid the necklace, and turns himself in along with his goons Daga and Teja. After the long squabble, chase and mayhem, Gopal and Daboo manage to trick Pappi into revealing the location of the hidden necklace and thus Pritam finds it and gets Pappi and his goons arrested. Pritam and Geeta are going on their honeymoon while Gopal, Madhav, Lucky and the two Laxmans end up brawling after an argument.

During the argument, Daboo tries to stop them but they don't. The film ends with Daboo pulling the director of the film Rohit Shetty and other crew members to stop their argument. The whole cast and crew enter the frame to stop them together, which itself creates chaos.

Reception

Critical reception

On the review-aggregation website Mirchiplex.com, the film was scored 2/5 based on 12 reviews.[9] Mayank Shekhar of Hindustan Times rated it 1.5/5 and noted that "the filmmakers have six main actors to juggle with, and as many side comedians to lend parts to. Never mind the narrative, they would be happy with as any corny antics and dialogues with whoever was available."[10] Raja Sen of Rediff.com gave a similar rating explaining that "[he] was not looking for sensitivity or smarts in Golmaal 3 [but for]... a few good jokes. [However], the film does not oblige."[11] On the other hand, critic Taran Adarsh of Bollywood Hungama rated it 4/5, concluding that "Golmaal 3 is an ideal fun ride with thrice the enjoyment and gratification, thrice the magic and thrice the hilarity."[12] The Times of India explained that "[although] the comic acts get repetitive...there is a laugh riot waiting for you at the multiplex this weekend."[13] Vinayak Chakravorty of Mail Today gave it 3 stars out of 5.

Indian Stammering Association criticism

The Indian Stammering Association (TISA), based in Dehradun, started an online petition to the censor board against the comical depiction of stuttering, a disabling disorder that affects millions of children and many adults.[14]

In October 2010 TISA filed a public interest writ petition against the director and producers of the film Golmaal 3 and the censor board of India at Uttarakhand High Court. It objected to the film's portrayal of stammerers as objects of ridicule, on the grounds that this promoted discrimination and the teasing and bullying of people who stammer. The film-makers and Censor Board were to respond to the court notice by 14 December 2010. After that, the court was to hear this case.[15][16]

Box office

Golmaal 3 released in India and internationally on 5 November 2010 to coincide with the Diwali weekend, usually considered a profitable time of the year.[2] The film's opening collections on the first day reached ₹ 83 million[17] and opening weekend net collections stood at ₹ 335 million.[18] Opening week gross collections were around ₹ 622.5 million in India and ₹ 100 million overseas.[19]

The film had a strong second weekend in theatres, grossing ₹ 190 million.[20] During its second and third week at the Indian box office, the film grossed ₹ 317.5 million[21] and ₹ 90 million respectively, therefore increasing the film's total to ₹ 1075.6 million.[22] Meanwhile, the film earned $1,132,192 in United States and Canada, £638,496 in UK and $352,063 in Australia.[23] Golmaal 3 became the second highest-grossing Bollywood film of 2010.[24]
