## Spoilers
### Plot
Kanhaiya (Tusshar Kapoor) and Rocky ([Aftab Shivdasani](https://www.edgepedia.org/aftab-shivdasani)) are friends from Mumbai who join their Bangkok-based friend Mickey ([Krushna Abhishek](https://www.edgepedia.org/krushna-abhishek)) and end up working in his adult film business, which produces pornographic spoofs of hit Bollywood films[8](https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/hindi/movie-reviews/kyaa-kool-hain-hum-3/movie-review/50687742.cms) • [10](https://filminformation.com/reviews/kyaa-kool-hain-hum-3/). Kanhaiya falls in love with Shalu (Mandana Karimi), a woman from a conservative family, and to take the relationship further he must convince her religious father and suspicious Bua (aunt) that he has a cultured, traditional Indian family[2](https://balajitelefilms.com/pdf/outcomeofboardmeeting/Outcome-AGM-2016.pdf). The friends use their fellow adult film stars to pose as his fake family, and the resulting misunderstandings and chaos form the film's comic premise[2](https://balajitelefilms.com/pdf/outcomeofboardmeeting/Outcome-AGM-2016.pdf). The film ends with Kanhaiya marrying Shalu, and Mickey deciding to make family-friendly movies[11](https://www.primevideo.com/-/hi/detail/0IGOEQYS2Z0R21VC8F2U7BYDTV?tr=in).
Much of the humor consists of adult-film parodies of well-known Hindi titles, including *Lingham* (a take on *Singham*), *Lick* (instead of *Kick*), *Chennai Sexpress*, and *Mughal-E-Orgasm*[8](https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/hindi/movie-reviews/kyaa-kool-hain-hum-3/movie-review/50687742.cms).
## Cast and production
The principal cast includes Tusshar Kapoor, Aftab Shivdasani, Krushna Abhishek, Mandana Karimi, Gizele Thakral, Claudia Ciesla, Shakti Kapoor, Darshan Jariwala, Meghna Naidu, Danny Sura, and [Gauahar Khan](https://www.edgepedia.org/gauahar-khan)[9](https://www.justwatch.com/in/movie/kya-kool-hain-hum-3). The screenplay is credited to Milap Zaveri and Mushtaq Sheikh[4](https://www.behindwoods.com/hindi-movies/kyaa-kool-hain-hum-3/kyaa-kool-hain-hum-3-review.html). Production companies were [Balaji Motion Pictures](https://www.edgepedia.org/balaji-motion-pictures), Jhakaas, and ALT Entertainment[6](https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/kya_kool_hain_hum_3). The film was shot largely in Thailand, where the story is set[12](https://indianexpress.com/article/entertainment/movie-review/kya-kool-hain-hum-3-movie-review-tusshar-kapoor-aftab-shivdasani/).
The two earlier films in the series, released in 2005 and 2012, were described by producer [Balaji Telefilms](https://www.edgepedia.org/balaji-telefilms) as trendsetters at the box office, and the company listed the third film as an adult comedy release for January 2016[2](https://balajitelefilms.com/pdf/outcomeofboardmeeting/Outcome-AGM-2016.pdf).
## Box office
The film opened on 22 January 2016 alongside [Akshay Kumar](https://www.edgepedia.org/akshay-kumar)'s *[Airlift](https://www.edgepedia.org/airlift-film)*, and its earnings fell from ₹81.5 million (₹8.15 crore) on the first day to ₹55 million (₹5.50 crore) on the second, for a two-day total of ₹136.5 million (₹13.65 crore) in India, according to trade analyst Taran Adarsh[1](https://www.indiatoday.in/movies/bollywood/story/kyaa-kool-hain-hum-3-box-office-office-aftab-and-tusshars-film-witnesses-a-drop-on-its-second-day-305320-2016-01-24). India Today attributed the decline to negative reviews and the clash with *Airlift*, which grew on its second day and was expected to become the first hit of 2016[1](https://www.indiatoday.in/movies/bollywood/story/kyaa-kool-hain-hum-3-box-office-office-aftab-and-tusshars-film-witnesses-a-drop-on-its-second-day-305320-2016-01-24). The trade magazine Film Information judged that the film would not sustain its initial craze among single-screen audiences because the comedy looked contrived[10](https://filminformation.com/reviews/kyaa-kool-hain-hum-3/).
## Reception
Critical response was overwhelmingly negative. On Rotten Tomatoes the film holds a 0% Tomatometer from 9 reviews and a 5% Popcornmeter audience score from fewer than 50 ratings[7](https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/kyaa_kool_hain_hum_3). The Times of India gave it 1.5 out of 5, with critic Meena Iyer writing that too many gags followed more gags and that the makers should have invested in a tighter screenplay[8](https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/hindi/movie-reviews/kyaa-kool-hain-hum-3/movie-review/50687742.cms). Shubhra Gupta of The Indian Express rated it 0.5 out of 5 and concluded that the film offered neither sex nor comedy[12](https://indianexpress.com/article/entertainment/movie-review/kya-kool-hain-hum-3-movie-review-tusshar-kapoor-aftab-shivdasani/). Rajeev Masand called it "surprisingly limp" in both raunchiness and humor[13](https://www.indicine.com/movies/bollywood/kyaa-kool-hain-hum-3-reviews-by-critics/). Reviewers in Firstpost and Scroll.in criticized the film's misogyny, objectification of women, and juvenile humor[7](https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/kyaa_kool_hain_hum_3). Bollywood Hungama's review called the script weak and the screenplay vacuous, predicting disappointment even for the target audience[3](https://www.bollywoodhungama.com/movie/kyaa-kool-hain-hum-3/critic-review/kyaa-kool-hain-hum-3-movie-review/).
On IMDb the film carries a rating of 2.0 from about 4,700 user votes[9](https://www.justwatch.com/in/movie/kya-kool-hain-hum-3).
## Availability
As of late 2026, the film streams in India on Amazon Prime Video, Zee5, Hungama Play, and VI movies and tv, and is available free with ads on Hungama Play[9](https://www.justwatch.com/in/movie/kya-kool-hain-hum-3). Netflix lists the title but does not make it available to stream in India[14](https://www.netflix.com/in/title/80108481).
