a reminder on what our definition of “perfect” is for this exercise . perfect means getting the optimal value at each draft spot . in other words , all the rosters in the draft below would deserve an “a” from any unbiased grader .
perfect sense shines best outside of the bedroom , in sequences that show the human race adjusting to tragedy after tragedy . people learn sign language , dump more spice in their food . but sense is tied to memory in a deep and knotty way — and losing one , as the narrator intones over images of sunsets and tears , means losing access to the other .

this is the irreversible ailment that soon envelops the entire world in perfect sense — and after smell has been purged from existence , the other sensations soon follow . the loss of each one is predicated by a strong , often violent seizure of emotion , from sorrow to hunger to anger , like a bell - peal of chemicals ringing through the brain .
with its relentlessly serious tone and a rigorous commitment to showcasing how two people are affected by a worldwide crisis , david mackenzie’s global - pandemic thriller / romantic drama perfect sense plays like an extended twilight zone episode . this is meant both as a compliment and a criticism . the movie stars eva green as an epidemiologist named susan , . . . read more

though perfect sense continually , wrongly insists that susan and michael ' s defeatist romance is the real story , the film does one thing very well . it creates , with every transmitter that shuts down , a heightened awareness of what it means to exist as a human — to smell , taste , hear , see and touch the planet ' s wonders with a wide - open mind .

premiering at the sundance film festival later this week . check out the exclusive trailer premiere below .
if you have any interest in going to see this film , then you probably shouldn ' t read this review . at least not yet . wait until you ' ve seen it first , as there ' s no way i can avoid dissecting the movie in detail on here . perfect sense is not a simple or superficial story , and it ' d be inappropriate of me to discuss it in those terms .
people around the world progressively lose their senses of smell , taste , hearing and , finally , sight . too bad the filmmakers never seem to have had a sense of humor in the first place .
however , i will caution you that some players come off the board in the perfect draft at significantly different slots than their adp suggests — this is a feature , not a bug . remember , this is the perfect draft based on 2017 projections , so some players will have more or less value than the public perceives . use this to your advantage — if you see a player with a 10 . 02 adp selected in the fourth round of the perfect draft , that indicates a sleeper or undervalued player who could pay big dividends in 2017 . the opposite illustrates a player with significant risk or who is being overvalued by drafters , such as rookie running back christian mccaffrey of the carolina panthers .
through the first seven rounds of the draft — enough time to get your starting roster filled out sans the kicker and defense — teams selecting in the top half of the draft have the chance at creating a lot of surplus value early on . and this makes perfect sense : if you see a run on a position you can immediately pivot to a different strategy , such as zero rb or , conversely , mike hume’s now famous rb - pa - looza .
while the big mainstream pandemic movies focus on the attempts of government officials to ward off catastrophe , the art - house variety takes its cue from albert camus’ the plague , concentrating on the victims , their panic or resilience , stabs of violence or passive acceptance . what’s unusual about the sometimes screwy but mostly smart and always heartfelt perfect sense — which opens fri . in new york city and is already available at home on video on demand — is its search for a middle ground .
and perfect sense ' s reach doesn ' t exceed its grasp . thanks to great work from all involved , it is moving , profound , affecting and thought - provoking . i expect you ' ll anticipate the denouement before it happens , but that shouldn ' t serve to make it any less poignant . personally , my left leg was shaking , while a few rows in front of me , there was a woman who almost stood up , as she struggled to contain her ardour .
how could the great plague begin ? perhaps with the loss of one of the five senses . start with smell — not an essential sense , until you think of the sensations triggered by the olfactory function . a poignant synesthesia attends the whiff of a rose , or coffee , or sea air , or the perfume of a passing woman . a hospital corridor . a cigarette kiss . fresh bedsheets , or dirty ones . the scent of roast beef as it cooks succulently in the next room , or as it starts to burn . “cinnamon might have reminded you of your grandmother’s apron , ” says the narrator of perfect sense . “without smell , an ocean of images disappears . ” our collective memory is instantly and cruelly impoverished .
so yeah , a lot has changed since the first perfect draft was released . but don’t worry : i used every resource i have to come up with an even more perfect fantasy football draft for a 12 - team league using a point - per - reception , or ppr , scoring format and the following starting lineup : one quarterback , two running backs , two wide receivers , one tight end , one flex player ( rb / wr / te ) , one defense , a kicker and six bench players .
blending apocalyptic elements from “blindness” and “children of men” with a love story that never catches fire , “ perfect sense ” is a perfectly insipid sci - fi romance . though its attempt to evoke the endtimes in a glancing , impressionistic , budget - restricted manner is admirable in theory , director david mackenzie ’s second collaboration with ewan mcgregor ( following 2003’s “young adam” ) tritely tosses together two indifferently conceived characters against a backdrop of global panic that generates no urgency . ifc acquired u . s . rights at sundance , where the film’s muted reception suggests a foretaste of mass - audience indifference to come .
a strange disease has afflicted the earth , depriving people of their sense of smell and taste , initially , then spreading further . at this time a chef , michael ( played by ewan mcgregor ) , and a scientist , susan ( played by eva green ) , start a relationship .
but this is , at heart , a love story , a parable of people who desire life too much to surrender to encroaching infirmities . they are a more sensible version of monty python and the holy grail ’s black knight , who loses all his limbs in battle and cries out to the departing king arthur , “come back here and take what’s coming to you ! i’ll bite your legs off ! ” except there’s no daft belligerence in michael and susan’s response to the plague . in staying together as their world evaporates into darkness and silence , they are displaying what anyone in love would recognize as quiet heroism — and perfect sense .
perfect sense , directed with intense intimacy by david mackenzie , is the latest in a veritable epidemic of apocalyptic movies : 28 days later and 28 weeks later , blindness , melancholia , and their american cousins take shelter and another earth , have joined mainstream hollywood films like outbreak , 2012 and contagion for the biggest surge of end of the world - anxiety movies since the onset of the cold war produced a mushroom cloud of science - fiction paranoia . instead of the pod people stealing your identity as you sleep , as in the 1956 invasion of the body snatchers , here it’s a mysterious agent , never identified , that robs you of your senses , one at a time .
an odd epidemic appears across the globe : people suddenly lose one of their senses . at first , it ' s an outbreak of loss of smell . it ' s often presaged by a destructive temper tantrum . in this mix are a scientist and a chef - she ' s susan , one of a team trying to understand the epidemic ; he ' s michael , charming and engaging . susan and michael begin a relationship in the middle of increasing chaos , as the loss of other senses plagues more people and as civil authorities try to maintain order . susan ' s voice - over reflections provide insight . is love possible in such a changed world ? can anything make perfect sense ?
in glasgow , susan , an epidemiologist , is asked by her colleague , stephen montgomery , to investigate the case of a just released hospital patient who , on his way home , inexplicably lost his sense of smell . stephen is aware of many similar cases in great britain and western europe reported in the past twenty - four hours . the initial findings by susan and her team is that there is no contagion , such as a virus , which has caused the problem , and as such there is no reason for panic or reporting such to the public in general . susan becomes emotionally invested in the case when she too loses her sense of smell . susan working on this case coincides with her meeting michael , the executive chef at the upscale restaurant which her flat overlooks . michael is open about his interest in her , despite the baggage that he carries coming out of the nature of how his last relationship ended . she is initially cautious , as she has not had a good history in choosing men . but as subsequently more people on more of a global scale lose their sense of taste and then sense of hearing , each preceded by a similarly global emotional trauma , the focus for susan and by association michael turns from the cause of the loss of the senses in the population in general and what seems to be the inevitable loss of the remaining senses , both of who are among the afflicted , to how it will affect their lives , especially how they will relate to each other as people as the two of them begin to fall in love with each other .
with a 24 / 7 news cycle — where everything is discussed at length in print , on audio and video or on social media — sleepers , in the traditional sense , are harder than ever to find . instead , one has to either be vigilant on the waiver wire , pouncing on players that could be put in opportunities to flourish , or anticipate their upcoming production and snag them in the draft’s later rounds .
when the plague comes , each sense loss is accompanied by strange symptoms — uncontrollable grief , ravenous hunger , sudden rage — that might have been devised by a sadistic acting coach as exercises for his students . the sight of susan sobbing , or a woman devouring her lipstick tube , or michael trashing an apartment make for unpersuasive acting and uncomfortable viewing ; the movie briefly , serially , goes as mad as the disease’s most virulently affected victims .
food , and specifically the expensive food michael ' s establishment makes , plays a rather large role in the film ' s proceedings , as gourmet gatekeepers rage against the dying of the light . framing a global tragedy around life ' s finer things (
but what will happen to all the restaurants ?
) leaves a bad taste , but it also creates at least one inventive bit : a food critic who raves about color , temperature and texture instead of flavor . apparently it is still possible to critique when one lacks sense .
and susan , in her job as an epidemiologist , is right at the center of it all . when a truck driver in glasgow experiences a sudden inexplicable crying fit and subsequently loses his sense of smell , susan learns that more than 100 other people across europe have been stricken in similar fashion . as more and more people around the globe begin to suffer these strange symptoms that first attack their emotions and then their symptoms , susan and michael are forced to try and weather the storm and find out how the human race might cope with such a pandemic .
each time a sense is lost , there is a harbinger that precedes it . first , people are overcome with grief . then , crippling terror . unadulterated rage comes next . before finally , the human race feels an uplifting shot of bliss . director , david mackenzie does a good job of making these sequences work as - like the whole film - they could have descended into farcical territory . it ' s not easy depicting people behaving with emotional abandon . the fact that there were a few nervous chuckles in the screening i was at proved this . as people , we condition ourselves to be restrained , and always in control .
with the senses of smell and taste having abandoned the public , business is understandably slow at the restaurant where michael ( ewan mcgregor ) works as a chef . michael is a handsome rake with commitment issues ; susan is a tetchy scientist with a broken heart . after a tart meet - cute , the two become lovers , and each sensory deprivation seems merely to intensify their mutual need . the less they can smell , taste or hear , the more they turn to each other for solace and distraction , as shown in fairly candid sex scenes performed by two lead actors who have never had qualms about onscreen nudity . ( exactly what michael and susan plan to do once they lose the sense of touch is never addressed . )
if the draft does hold true to form , with johnson and bell going with the first two picks , utilizing the zero rb strategy with brown at no . 3 , and two ( or more ) wideouts after that , could put you in the driver’s seat in terms of early value . in the perfect draft , the no . 3 and no . 10 position created more points than any other roster drafted over the first seven rounds using this strategy . for team 3 , one or more of the running backs taken in the later rounds needs to pan out , but in ppr leagues it is tough to go wrong by establishing a strong receiving corps early in the draft . team 10 will have solid starters at running back and wide receiver but might have some difficult decisions rostering the flex spot week to week .
when susan ( eva green ) , an epidemiologist , reemerges from an affair gone sour , she encounters a peculiar patientâ€”a glasgow truck driver who experienced a sudden , uncontrollable crying fit . now he is calm , but he has lost his sense of smell . susan learns there are 11 cases like him in glasgow , 7 in aberdeen , 5 in dundee , and 18 in edinburgh . in fact , great britain has 100 cases , with additional ones reported in france , belgium , italy , and spain , and they all appeared in the last 24 hours . although susan ' s encounter with michael ( ewan mcgregor ) , a local restaurant chef , holds the promise of new love , the world is about to change dramatically . people across the globe begin to suffer strange symptoms , affecting the emotions , then the senses .
i won ' t spend a lot on the synopsis since most have already explained it . simply put , this movie is a story of two people who fall in love just as an epidemic spreads across the world ridding people of their five senses , one by one . personally , i loved the film ! it is a beautiful film to look at , even in the most devastating of scenes . i felt multiple emotions throughout the film , of which i felt the movie accomplished well . there are scenes that may make you laugh , scenes that may make you feel tense , scenes that may make you shed some tears , scenes that may make you feel more appreciative of what you have in life . now like i said in the title of this review this film is not for everyone . some will find it silly or weird such as the symptoms that precede the loss of each sense ( an example includes a massive consumption of everything in sight , from flowers to lipstick to a whole can of mustard ) . some may also feel the movie is too optimistic in an end - of - the - world - scenario . you will either go with the film or you won ' t . i went with it and was thoroughly moved . i ' ve read multiple reviews on this film , and it seems that many people take different things away from it . that is what i think makes a great film , when people are left to discuss after the credits roll . this is definitely one of my most favorites films in a while , and i wouldn ' t hesitate to watch it again .

each deprivation is preceded by a flurry of emotion that leads to the film ' s most vivid sequences .
it ' s difficult to impart feelings of profound sadness with an image of ewan mcgregor shoving a stick of butter in his mouth .
a love story that never is never corny or predictable . [ full review in spanish ]
this film from david mackenzie is such a curiously inert experience that never satisfies as a romance , a sci - fi drama or as a social parable .
a rare cinematic trip to edinburgh is rewarded in this sci - fi tale of the end times that refeshingly offers a different spin on the proceedings : we lose our senses quite literally , and each , one at a time . tying this all together is a love story of two wary and cynical career professionals who grudgingly take the plunge initially , but later discover their inherent need to unite . mainly good stuff .
this was a very interesting way of presenting an end - of - the - world scenario . i definitely appreciated the performances by mcgregor and green . i suppose those who did not like it simply did not get the message it tries to send .
then there ' s the other movement . . . farmers going out to milk their cows . . . soldiers reporting for duty . those who believe that life will go on somehow . . . or just don ' t know what else to do . people prepare for the worst . . . but hope for the best . they concentrate on the things that are important to them . all the things beyond fat and flour .

green plays susan , an epidemiologist recently out of a relationship gone sour ; mcgregor is michael , the charismatic chef who sweeps susan off her feet and shows her that not all guys are a - holes . sounds swell , right ? and it would be . . . except for one tiny problem : at the same time susan and michael are falling for each other , a global pandemic is threatening to change the face of humanity forever .
judging by the trailer , it doesn ' t look like susan and michael are going to remain symptom - free throughout the film , so it ' ll be interesting to see how or if they - - and humankind - - can survive the loss of emotional and sensory control .

losing touch : eva green and ewan mcgregor are two egocentrists connecting as the world grapples with a strange plague that strips people of their five senses . neil davidson / ifc films hide caption
the afflicted party starts to grieve without warning , compelled by unseen forces to pause mid - stride and remember an entire life ' s worth of regret , lost love and missed opportunity . then , once the tears are gone , the ability to smell exits with them .
the movie , a hit at the 2011 sundance film festival , is a sensual take on the end of sensations . pathologists clambering for explanation need not apply ; director david mackenzie and screenwriter kim fupz aakeson aren ' t interested in the origins of this pandemic — no freak mutation , no oil spill , no patient zero . they instead handily employ old testament - style cosmic irony : since we have failed to properly appreciate our world , we no longer deserve to do so .
we view this swift hand of justice through the privileged , narcissistic eyes of michael the chef ( ewan mcgregor ) and susan the epidemiologist ( eva green ) , whose careers contribute more to the story than their personalities . these romantic leads , who freely admit to being
a couple of assholes
— she the icy loner with pursed lips , he the womanizer with the shoulder tattoo — are primarily in love with themselves , so the end of the world becomes all about them . when the two find each other , it ' s in a passion created less by an emotional kinship than by the encroaching despair neither would have any hope of facing alone .
yet the message becomes muddled in goofy sequences of the uncontrollable human exuberance heralding each new loss . in the feeding frenzy that signals the purging of taste , the film treats us to a gluttonous collage of characters gnawing on flowers and ripping teeth into live fish , and a singular truth becomes apparent : it ' s difficult to impart feelings of profound sadness with an image of ewan mcgregor shoving a stick of butter in his mouth .

susan is a scientist searching for answers to important questions . so important that she has given up on other things , including love – until she meets michael , a talented chef . suddenly everything starts to change .
while susan and michael are experiencing new and unforeseen depths of feeling , all around the world people are also beginning to feel strange – something is affecting the emotions .
a life affirming look at what it means to love and be loved in these turbulent times .
it looks like we don ' t have a synopsis for this title yet . be the first to contribute ! just click the
edit page
button at the bottom of the page or learn more in the synopsis submission guide .
the movie is penned by danish scribe , kim fupz aakeson , and it shows . it ' s the kind of story that you ' d more commonly expect from the scandinavian or mediterranean stable of art - house cinema . to call it high - concept is probably an understatement . the plot has strong elements of science fiction , but is more redolent of andrei tarkovsky than h . g . wells or isaac asimov .
the story - set in present day glasgow - focuses on the romance between michael ( ewan mcgregor ) and susan ( eva green ) . michael is a head chef , and we first meet him after he has a one - night stand . as he wakes , he unceremoniously asks his companion for the night to leave - he says that he can ' t sleep when someone else is present in bed with him .
susan is an epidemiologist , who is nursing a broken heart . her stoic , cool demeanour is an unsurprising counterpoint to michael , whose workplace is next to susan ' s flat . it leads to one of the more inventive
meet - cutes
i ' ve seen for a while , particularly in an era when smoking is increasingly depicted as solecistic in society .
the laboratory where susan works leads us into the plot ; a worldwide pandemic is affecting the planet ' s denizens , causing everyone to lose their senses ( literally ) . one by one , people lose the ability to smell , taste , hear , see and touch . susan is one of many scientists who work to figure out the cause of this epidemic . but the film is not about how this has happened , but rather how people respond to such an occurrence .
in this story , agency is now a thing of the past . humanity is helpless to stop the inexorable loss of our senses . one of the major questions posed is how do people behave when we are robbed of the things we take as read ? panic spreads , and governments make cack - handed attempts to keep order . there are numerous occasions when rioting breaks out , with upturned cars , and debris littering the streets .
this is a story that sounds great in principle , but should fall apart as it progresses . there are so many ideas at work here , so many motifs in play , that preventing a tale like this from unravelling is a triumph for both mackenzie and aakeson . so much so , that i ' ve been rendered unable to convey what i feel about this film . i may have been able to process the events of the story , but at the time of writing , i ' m still working on processing the feelings it evokes , and as a result , i apologise for this post being a ham - fisted ramble . it ' s probably my own fault for writing this so soon after returning from the cinema , but i daren ' t have left it until tomorrow .
what mackenzie has achieved here reminds me in some ways of charlie kaufman ' s synecdoche , new york . both stories are sweeping in their ambition , exploring the depth of the human experience .
yes , life is hard , painful , and often a thankless struggle . but it ' s so much preferable to the alternative . and while some may find it pretentious and / or schmaltzy , david mackenzie has made a movie that contains such a beautiful and powerful sentiment , it could just be the film of 2011 .

the narrator is susan ( eva green ) , an epidemiologist in glasgow , who first notices the olfactory disability in a local truck driver . soon thousands in scotland , england and western europe have suffered the same loss . it hits susan , too , and michael ( ewan mcgregor ) , the attractive chef at a restaurant across the alley from her apartment . the two pursue an affair as their world begins to crumble . smell is just the first of the senses everyone loses — and quickly , too quickly . as susan notes , “they don’t even have time to give the disease a name . ”

“i can’t smell anymore , ” a patient says during an appointment with glasgow - based epidemiologist susan ( eva green ) , who’s at a loss to explain why the human senses are vanishing in cycles from the british population and beyond . intense , involuntary spasms of emotion appear to be the trigger , as we see from a maudlin montage of various people worldwide , who are spontaneously overwhelmed with grief right before their olfactory nerves shut down .
their physical exertions aside , mcgregor and green struggle to breathe life into characters who are never adequately fleshed out in kim fupz aaekson’s script , and whose compatibility seems to begin and end with their physical beauty . at regular intervals , the voice of katy engels intrudes with embarrassing pseudo - poetic narration , which is intended to pay tribute to the transcendent power of love but only trivializes the idea of a worldwide pandemic and its consequences .
narrative proper is intermittently interrupted by filler sequences of third world turmoil ( a mix of archival footage and fresh imagery shot in india , mexico and kenya ) , none of which apparently requires any explanation ; the film takes it on faith that the crisis it presents would naturally result in mass violence and looting sprees . strongest technical contribution is giles nuttgens’ widescreen cinematography , which uses vibrant hues and textures to conjure lovely , isolated moments — especially in michael’s cooking sequences , which fluidly capture the bustle and momentum of a restaurant kitchen .

after a late night of planning , we started the day early again to finalize our preparations for integrating the all star fans in the parade of athletes at the opening ceremony . from 8am to 2 : 30pm , we manned the table in the welcome center , handing out invitations and tickets and providing instructions to the all star fans and their relationship managers .
holly was on the phone all morning ! she also made a quick trip over to the dome to check on preparations there and meet with the goc to coordinate seating and buses . she was even able to track down some official blue , white and silver staff jackets for us to wear so we would be visible while working at the reception and ceremony . jenny got to work designing and printing more signs and maps , and making a final run to the convention center to check on preparations for the pre - ceremony reception . cecily and karl worked at the table and made phone calls to relationship managers to provide them with information on the presidential meet & greet which was happening during the parade . andrew remained as busy as ever , making travel arrangements for the big group of guests arriving on opening day .
at 2 : 30 , we sprinted over to the convention center for the reception , carrying boxes of rosette pins to be handed out to the asfs . we quickly set up a table and began greeting the guests . caitlin and andrew joined us , and from there we boarded buses along with the guests to go to the dome .
upon our arrival at the dome , we cleared security and each ran to our assigned positions to guide the all star fans through the parade . we called them out of their seats in three waves , identified by gold , purple and green , and led them backstage where they met with their respective team delegations . the excitement was contagious ! it was so much fun to see the teams running and chanting through the hall . the asfs , including some celebrities such as cindy mccain , dikembe mutombo , yao ming , were just as excited as the athletes .
at the conclusion of the parade of athletes , we ran to our next assignment of escorting a select group of individual athletes from their seats to backstage for participation in the ceremony as flag bearers and torch runners . with very little preparation , caitlin and andrew jumped right in and were a tremendous help .
at the end of the ceremony we facilitated the bus transportation back to the alpensia resort . we were all completely exhausted after a long , very busy and stressful day . looking forward to the events beginning tomorrow ! we ' re planning to join the floor ball unified sports experience in the morning and hope to watch some events in the afternoon .

indianapolis starting quarterback andrew luck has yet to throw a pass this summer and remains on the pup list . fellow quarterback ryan tannehill , running back spencer ware plus receivers julian edelman , cameron meredith and quincy enunwa all had season - ending juries , changing the fantasy cheat - sheet landscape across all formats . rookie deshone kizer was named the starting quarterback in cleveland and running back thomas rawls , not eddie lacy or c . j . prosise , is atop seattle’s depth chart .
the methodology is simple . all skill player projections start at the team level , with each team’s targets and rushing plays estimated using a three - year weighted average , with performances from 2016 weighted three times as heavily as those from 2014 . to use the new england patriots as an example , they ran 1 , 032 plays in 2016 , 1 , 012 in 2015 and 1 , 047 in 2014 , giving us a projected 1 , 028 plays for 2017 , with an almost 60 / 40 split between passing ( 586 ) and rushing plays ( 442 ) .

touted to be the biggest laugh riot of this year , ' housefull 3 ' is all set to hit the theaters today . the film that stars akshay kumar , abhishek bachchan , riteish deshmukh , jacqueline fernandez , nargis fakhri and lisa haydon has created abuzz already . not just them , but actors like boman irani , jackie shroff and johnny lever will also be seen in supporting roles .

akshay kumar ' s friendship with micromax head rahul sharma and his wife , actress asin is a well known fact . the actor always makes it a point to go and visit the newly - wed couple whenever he is in the capital city . but during his recent visit to delhi , he decided to take the entire cast of ' housefull 3 ' to asin ' s house for a midnight meal .
“we are elated with the response housefull 3 has garnered across india . the film is a complete laugh riot , a family entertainer that has appealed to audiences of all age brackets and the weekend box office collections are a testimony to that . this marks the return of comedy and the film has lived up to the huge hype and expectations from the successful franchise , ” nandu ahuja , sr . vp , india theatrical , eros international media ltd said on the film’s success .
with the social media becoming a powerful medium for creative outlets , the rise of comical memes and virality of them is significant in our time . also , so is their perishable nature . just as the ‘dekh bhai’ memes became viral and soon became obsolete , the housefull 3 jokes of ‘aadmi ko seedha hona chahiye , ooltah to tarak mehta ka chasma bhi hai’ have already become done to death . probably , the script was old but they surely didn’t seem to work now .
it is sometimes said that to enjoy films such as the housefull movies , viewers need to leave their brains at home . for this third assault on the senses , the surgical removal of the brain is needed , not temporarily switching it off .
in an official statement , eros international announced the record breaking success of housefull 3 at the box office . the film has collected over rs . 100 . 03 crores ( usd 15 million ) across the globe in the opening weekend with rs . 73 . 02 crores gross ( rs . 53 . 31 crores net box office ) in india and rs . 27 . 01 crores overseas . the movie has now earned rs . 80 . 10 cr . in its first weeek of its release .
the first song of the film – pyaar ki was released and the first impression is simply mind blowing ! the song and the music is very catchy and after listening to it once , you wish to hear it again and again . but that’s not it ! the lyrics are also very trendy and hilarious , for instance the baba black sheep rhyme is also incorporated in to the song . apart from all this , the locales and visuals look stunning too , which we also saw in the housefull 3 trailer .

the soundtrack of ' housefull 3 has some awesome party numbers that will get you grooving . keeping aside the appropriateness of the lyrics , the songs are backed by some peppy singing and enthusiastic beats . the album starts off with ' pyar ki ' . it could have been another run - of - the - mill track but the quirky lyrics do wonders for the track . the ensemble sharib sabri , toshi sabri , nakash aziz , divya kumar , anmol malik , earl edgar pack a punch with their powerful singing . each of them has a distinct voice and bring their own intrinsic touch to the table . ' taang uthake ' is a classic

theres good news and bad news for anyone whos having trouble trying to make up their mind whether to watch housefull 3 . the good news is that despite sticking to the core values of the previous films in the series meaning its offensive , frequently racist , and flat out harebrained its never a soul - crushing experience in the way that some akshay kumar starrers can be ( yes , rowdy rathore , im looking at you ) . meanwhile the bad news is that the film feels tempered as if deliberately holding back its punches which is just as frustrating , given that moderation has seldom served comedies well . as a result were left with a film thats entirely puerile , only sporadically funny , but not even so bad that it rattles you . its a plain and simple bore .
the solo release factor has surely benefitted the movie in terms of its box office numbers and has emerged as a clear winner . while the film will collect moolah on the weekend , whether it will run ‘housefull’ till the end of next week is something that its content will ultimately decide . let’s wait and see if the makers will be third time lucky and laugh their way to the bank this time too .
news is , the film will be releasing in 3 , 500 plus screens only in india ! this franchise , which has been connected with the audience for years now , is undoubtedly in high demand by the viewers . and so , the makers have left no stone unturned to make it one of the widest releases . as a result , the distribution department is receiving high demands for the release of this franchise from across the centers .
the film will be releasing immediately post the ipl fever which ends on may 29 . this would mark akshay kumar ’s third consecutive release post the ipl matches in the past . considering its high demand , the makers are planning to make the film one of the widest releases across centres . it will be releasing over 3 , 500 plus screens across india , which will prove to be lucky in cashing in on the revenues at the box office .
singh show . the singer gets you dancing from the word go . the lyrics are snazzy and along with the upbeat composition , here is a dance track that will reign the party season this year . neeti mohan and mamta sharma are both fantastic . third up is ' malamaal ' sung by mika singh , akira , miss pooja and kuwar virk . it is an out - and - out fun track with punjabi tadka . though the instrumentation is cleverly done , the pace towards the later half became problematic . ' fake ishq ' is a vivacious composition . styled as qawwali , it has a balanced use of harmonium with guitar , using the electronic beats when necessary but never moving away from the quintessential qawwali genre . kailash kher , nakash aziz and altamash farida pull off the track with elan . ' housefull 3 ' ���������s album isn���������t exemplary but each song is well crafted . there isn���������t a single dull moment in any of its tracks which is its biggest victory .

the movie which saw the return of slapstick humour , seems to have managed to tickle the audience with its funny gags and punchlines . it was released across 3700 screens in india and 670 screens overseas .
trailer . the goal was to make the franchise bigger and better and it seems the makers are moving in the right direction .
after launching the trailer simultaneously in over 100 cities , the makers have now launched the first song of the film . generally , songs of a particular film are launched at an event a few days or weeks post the release of the trailer , but it seems that the
team is very different and they will go all out to promote their film .

the film opened with approximately 35 % occupancy during the morning shows , however there wasn ' t a substantial growth towards the evening and late night shows thus restricting the possibility of being the highest opener of the year .
the film budget was close to rs 85 crore ( excluding print and publicity ) and it will be declared a hit at collections close to rs 125 - 130 crore , which looks highly unlikely as of now .

the opening day is the second best of the year after fan ( partial holiday ) and the second best for an akshay kumar starrer after singh is bling ( national holiday ) . the film has managed to put up the highest opening day figures of the year in places like gujarat , rajasthan and cpci while even for an akshay kumar starrer the numbers are highest ever in west bengal and nizam / andhra .
there was apprehension within the film industry when the film opened as the opening was not like a biggie and then the usual negative press which comes for the commercial hindi film which led to very low numbers were doing the rounds . this was likely to happen as the youth interest in the film will be limited and it is families which will decide the fate and they do not come out on the friday morning .
the collections were better post 5pm as collections in cities and theatres which are driven by family audiences improved as expected . the big question will be how this audience appreciates the film and it will be next few days which will answer that .

we love improv , but we can’t find the page you’re looking for . let’s take it from the top and try again .
pre - show and trailers run for approximately 20 minutes before the movie starts .
directed and written by the duo sajid - farhad , the film is full of racist and sexist humour , plus offensive jokes at the cost of people with disabilities .
three buffoons , teddy ( riteish deshmukh ) , bunty ( abhishek bachchan ) and sandy ( akshay kumar ) , wangle their way into the london mansion of batook patel ( boman irani ) , a rich gujarati businessman , to convince him to let them marry his daughters . he won’t let his girls – ganga ( jacqueline fernandez ) , jamuna ( lisa haydon ) and saraswati ( nargis fakhri ) – marry because of a silly family curse .
the girls are in love with the deadbeat boys , who gain entry to their house by pretending to be disabled . there is also an indian don , urja nagre ( jackie shroff ) , and aakhri pasta ( chunky pandey ) , a returning character from the franchise , thrown into the mix .
with the setting established , sajid - farhad go on to include every crass , dull joke you might have already seen on the internet . ganga , jamuna and saraswati , all three of them , have poor hindi language skills and literally translate words from english . adding to this infantile wordplay is teddy , who has a habit of mixing up words , which leads to “gems” such as tawaif ( courtesan ) instead of wife . . . you get the drift .
sandy , meanwhile , has a dissociative identity disorder that surfaces every time he hears the word “indian” , a role he hams to death . bachchan is entirely forgettable , which , in a movie like
, is actually a good thing . irani’s patel is more gujarati than anyone you’ll ever meet and grates on already frayed nerves .
the movie rambles on , making seriously offensive jokes about the domestic help in patel’s mansion and caricaturing disabled people – at one point , sandy literally has ants in his pants but can’t move without giving away that he is not disabled – over and over again . it all ends with a predictably pointless climax that just cannot arrive quickly enough .
what can one say about a movie where each character strives , not to be the best , but the absolute worst ? avoid .
batook patel ( boman ) is a businessman in london who has three daughters – gracy ( jacqueline ) , sarah ( nargis ) and jenny ( lisa ) . but he doesn’t want them to get married because almost everyone in his family is cursed in that department he keeps telling his daughters that if they marry , he may die . the girls who love their father have boyfriends . gracy loves sandy ( akshay ) , sarah loves bunty ( abhishek ) and lisa loves teddy ( riteish ) but the girls tell their respective boyfriends that they will not consider marrying because they do not want to ` endanger ' their dad ' s life . of course batook also makes his partner - in - crime aakhri pasta ( chunky panday ) pose as an astrologer and tell the girls that if their grooms to be are handicapped then their father may survive .
so sandy who is a footballer pretends to be lame , teddy who is race - car driver pretends to be blind and bunty who is a rapper pretends to be mute . they then enter the house of the patels . naturally their continuous endeavour is to fool batook , who keeps trying to check if they are liars or they are genuinely handicapped . cut to mumbai . a mafia don , urja nagrik ( jackie shroff ) is being freed after a long prison term . he takes the flight to london . here is where you realise that the girls jackie , nargis and lisa are actually born ganga , jamuna , saraswati . they are jackie ' s daughters . unfortunately when he goes to prison on a tip - off from ` someone ' , he asks his trusted deputy batook ( boman ) to take the girls to london and raise them in a ' nice ' atmosphere . when jackie is freed from prison he comes to london . he is seething and wants to know who the person is who tipped the police off about him .
anyway he is happy to see his daughters who are now pretty girls . but he doesn ' t tell them that he is their real father . boman also hatches a plan to get his three sons , who are crooks to marry jackie ' s daughters so they can get the wealth . but the original heroes of the film ; akshay , abhishek and riteish outwit boman ' s sons and score with the girls . jackie also learns that it is boman who betrayed him and he gets him punished .
he has just 2 weeks left & i need rs . 5 . 5 lakh to save him .
