While this film has definitely some funny parts, majority time of the time I was left with blank face watching the screen. The first half is majorly about introducing the characters and the unfortunate situations they find themselves. In the first half, the film has a lot of potential to be interesting. There are some funny parts here and there. A certain subplot which involves two characters thinking they're conning the other but end up both being con artists was refreshing and hilarious. Right until the conclusion of that storyline I was invested in the movie. Soon after that the movie went downhill but not too down though. Another subplot involves a honest police officer and his corrupt higher officer was also a bit engaging and hilarious. The conclusion of that plotline see the convergence of the characters from the first half and the officer who would go on to plan a scam on a wealthy business man inorder to settle their debts. Now, perhaps the most distinct and honestly the best part of the feature is Murali Sharma and his character Anand Prasad, I like the character in a way that he contrasts all the insanity of the plot and the other characters, he almost seem like he belongs in another movie. He is calmness, wisdom and charisma radiates through the screen and almost overshadows every character and actor in any scene he's featured. The second half of the film mostly involves these dimwitted characters trying to convince and win over Anand's his son. This part did get a few laughs out of me, but I feel as though some of the comedy was way overdone and it often takes itself seriously. Also the climax ran a bit too long and the scenes were very clunky, there was just so much to take in. On the whole, F3: Fun and frustration, is more often than not, more frustrating than fun. Too many subplots, thin main plot, uninspiring and underdeveloped characters, exaggerated dramatic acting, cheesy dialogue, lengthy runtime, are some of factors that keep this film far away from excellence.
