[edit] Plot
In an attempt to earn some money, Madhav (Arshad Warsi), Laxman (Kunal Khemu) and Lucky (Tushar Kapoor) scam college students into purchasing fake History exam papers. At the beach, Laxman (Shreyas Talpade), a water sports official is ridiculed by some tourists for his stammering problem. Daboo (Kareena Kapoor), Laxman's tomboyish partner, is angry and goes to fight. Gopal (Ajay Devgan) comes and tries to make peace but ends up beating them after they point at him. Three robbers — Pappi (Johny Lever), Daga (Sanjai Mishra) and Teja (Vrajesh Hirjee) — rob the queen's necklace and are on the run from police and end up in Goa. Pappi, who suffers from a short term memory loss problem, hides the necklace in Pritam's (Mithun Chakraborty) house. Pritam, the father of Madhav, Lucky and Laxman, is a school bus driver, but is always being pestered by neighbors and ruffians who had all loaned money to his three good-for-nothing sons.
Vasooli (Mukesh Tiwari), who has paid for the Jet ski business, asks Gopal for his money. Daboo fools Vasooli into calling and abusing the police who arrest Vasooli. That night, in the casino Lucky, while playing pool, by mistake strikes the ball on Daboo. Lucky tries to apologize, but gets misunderstood, and both groups get involved in a verbal fight. Madhav and his brothers also open a water sporting business on Pappi's loan. Pappi becomes the first customer but Gopal and his partners tamper with the jet by placing glue on the handle bars. Unable to control the jet, Pappi crashes into the jets from both the groups destroying both the water sports businesses.
Pritam goes to meet Gopal's mother Geeta(Ratna Pathak) to complain. When Pritam sees Geeta, he is shocked to realize that she is none other than his lost love. In a flashback, he remembers that Prem Chopra(Prem Chopra), Geeta's father, doesn't approve of their relationship and asks Pritam to earn 5 lakhs in 6 months in order to marry Geeta. Pritam and Geeta fight over their children's mistakes. Daboo overhears the conversation and tries to find out more about their relationship. Both the groups start a similar new firecracker business, but end up destroying in the ensuing fight.
In another meeting between Pritam and Geeta, it is revealed neither Pritam nor Geeta have ever married and that their children are all orphans. Daboo overhears them, and they make Daboo promise not to tell the boys about this. Daboo decides to get them married, and succeeds in convincing their children and finally gets the two married. Much to Madhav's disgust, Pritam moves to Geeta's house. When they reach there, Gopal and Laxman are forced to move in the store room. The next few days, Pritam is targeted by Gopal and Laxman's pranks.
On Daboo's birthday, the family decides to go for a movie, but Gopal refuses. At the movie theatre, the goon who loaned Madhav gets into a fight with them. Geeta gets injured and Gopal arrives to save his mother. Back at home, Gopal is furious at Pritam and Madhav about the loans. That night, Lucky overhears the fact that they are orphans. He unites everybody and tells them that they are all orphans. Daboo comes and confirms the news. They are all now united, and the next morning the newlywed couple is surprised to see their families together. The united family opens a toy store with loans from Vasooli and Pappi. Pappi tries to recognise Pritam at the inauguration. When they all dance and celebrate, Pappi remembers and accuses Pritam of having the stolen necklace. Everybody thinks that Pritam is the necklace thief. Following a long chase and a hostage situation at their home, Pappi informs everybody that he himself had stolen the necklace and hid it in Pritam's suitcase. Daboo then tricks him into calling the police and he and his goons are arrested. The movie ends with Pritam and Geeta going on their first honeymoon.

[edit] Reception
[edit] Critical reception
The film received mixed to negative reviews from critics. On the review-aggregation website Mirchiplex.com, the film scored 2/5 based on 12 reviews.[6] 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."[7] 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."[8] 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."[9] 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."[10] Vinayak Chakravorty of Mail Today gave it 3 stars out of 5.
[edit] The Indian Stammering Association (TISA) Criticism
The Indian Stammering Association, based in Dehradun, started an online petition to the censor board against the comical depiction of stuttering, severely disabling disorder that affects millions of children and many adults.[11]
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 have to respond to the court notice by 14 December 2010. After that the court will hear this case.[12][13]
