Story
Story starts with Maya (Avika Gor) working as Doctor in a hospital late night. She finishes her work and starts walking to her home. Mid way a goon follows her and starts disturbing her. After they reach a point he stops her and proposes. Then all the lights go off and she leaves that place. A Ghost haunts him and hits him. While leaving there comes a voice saying "Ee Kannenu Thakalani Chusthe, Meku Thappadhu Maranam". Who is the Ghost? What is the connection between it and Maya? Will Ashwin (Ashwin Babu) able to win his love with this Ghost loitering around Maya? This forms the rest of the story.
Artiste Performance
Ashwin Babu Looks good in his role. A scene where he is possessed by the ghost, was done very well. We can see an improvement in his acting.
Avika gor looks beautiful in her traditional look. Keeping aside her screen time she does her job very well in the movie. She too does a great job when she gets possessed by the Ghost.
After a long gap Ali has got a nice role in terms of comedy. His comedy episodes with hero and during a key sequence were hilarious.
Brahmaji and his gang of the colony have some fun episodes. Ajay Ghosh, Urvashi evoke few laughs. Rest of the cast were Ok in their roles.

Analysis
Ohmkar has created a different way of narrating Horror stories with Raju Gari Gadhi. With the craze it has garned he came up with a sequel starring King Nagarjuna and Samantha in Key roles. Though the movie did not do as expected it satisfied horror fans to an extent. Now he has come up with another movie in that franchise.
If you see the previous two movies, The narration of one is completely different from other. The first part has jovial and a suspense kind off narration with horror elements and the second one comes with jovial once again but with an investigative kind off narration with horror elements. In this third one too the narration is different from first two movies.
First half starts on an interesting note with introduction of Ghost's motive. After the title card, It takes on a bit loud narration which was not there in first two parts. It is clear that the screenplay is inspired from Raghava Lawrence's successful "Muni" Franchise.

The "Injection" Comedy in First half by Brahmaji is the main highlight of first half. The comedy timing of Brahmaji and the scenes involving him and his gang of a colony have worked out really well.
Expect the horror moments and few comedy scenes there is nothing much in first half. As narration is uneven it feels a bit over the top. Placement of songs is not good and feels like hurdles to the narration. The interval sequence is good and gives a good tension to Second half to know who actually the ghost is.
Second half is better compared to first half in terms of entertainment. After knowing the story behind the ghost to defeat it everyone goes to a place of the where the ghost is present. This happens at almost half point of second half. From here till the end all the sequences are a laugh riot. Every comedy episode works.

Missed the "Guntur Pedhakurapadu Sivudu" In Raju Gaari Gadhi 2 but no worries he gives a comeback in this one. His scenes are really funny and episodes of him during a crucial hilarious sequence have generated many more laughs.
After a very funny and lengthy hilarious episode, Movie comes to an end on a serious note.
Camera work is neat. Visuals in few scenes are very good. Background score is another plus to the movie. During the horror episodes and few key sequences BGM is terrific. Sound effects are excellent.

(MY) Final Word
Ohmkar seems to have learned from the mistake he did in RGG2. There isn't a scene in the movie which is dragged or goes on a slow narration. The movie won't bore you but only thing is the loud moments at places that bothers while watching. This movie is an Official Remake of Tamil Movie "Dhilluku Dhuddu 2" in which Santhanam played the lead. Few scenes were changed a little to meet the telugu flavour but left the narration part as it is. Changing the loud narrative could have made the movie better. Forgetting all that on the flip side, Movie has got some super horror elements and comedy episodes that doesn't bore you. Leaving a little loud narration, Raju Gari Gadhi 3 offers some scary moments in first half and a good entertainment in second half. On a whole the Raju Gari Gadhi 3 ends up as a decent watch.

Note: This is my take on the movie. That is why I am not rating the movie. I respect each and every movie. Making people read my review and influencing them to form an impression of a movie before watching the movie is never my intention. I am a Movie lover too. This is just to express my view on the movie. 😊
