The story-telling is good with flashbacks.The film is both funny and heartbreaking. You smile in a scene and get a soulcrushing revelation in the next.

This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.
Billy Ollie
Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

The original Harihar Nagar was a classic and its sequel, 2 Harihar Nagar worked pretty well despite its flaws. But this movie is an exercise in mediocrity, further pushed down to the level of being a below average movie due to its horrible finale. Sure its a twist, but it only exists for twist's sake as it does nothing to the storyline and makes the whole movie lose its authenticity. The actors work well except for Jagadeesh, who after a stupendous performance in the sequel, hams it up with rather unfunny jokes, for which Lal has to shoulder the blame. Ashokan does well in the few serious scenes and Mukesh and Siddique are as reliable as ever. The ladies have nothing much to do although Lakshmi Rai does well in the dance inserted to appeal to the masses. Nedumudi Venu gives an excellent performance but is let down by the script that is not sure whether to be a horror movie or to remain as a comedy ultimately resulting it to be a disappointing movie. I've given worse movies better rating but they haven't disappointed me as much as this did.

In Harihar Nagar is a movie which a Malayalee would watch over and over again. 2 Harihar Nagar - its sequel came after a long break. But it was accepted very well. A third part is too much to ask.Unless you have something unique which Sethuramayar CBI presented. I would say that Lal's attempt to create a Horror/Thriller/Comedy failed completely.The result is a movie which could be forgotten easily.The story is not strong and most of the scenes are "inspired" from Hollywood horror flicks. The well and walking-crawling-decomposing girl were lifted straight from The Ring.Which was at least an acknowledged copy of the Asian original. The dialogues and acting towards the end more than resembled scenes from 'The exorcist'. Since the whole thing is a drama and not real, it could be justified from the story point of view. But altogether it fails to impress.
