Review of Hasee Toh Phasee (2014) by Jasrick J — 07 Feb 2014

A quirky love tale, the story begins with Nikhil (siddharth) a mischievous guy who falls in love with Karishma (adah sharma) at his sister's wedding. Karishma's sister Meeta (parineeti) is a rebellious kind of girl who has issues with her family. With Karishma's request Nikhil arranges for Meeta to stay at his place without her parentsâ?? knowledge. Eventually, they both fall in love. What happens after that forms the rest.

The director has come up with a romantic storyline and the presentation was rich, the narrative was good.The dialogues are witty . The script was predictable but the screenplay made it interesting. The background score was melodious and three songs were worth watching. Cinematography was impressive. A little editing was needed during the first half, but the second half makes up for it. Costumes were trendy and youthful while the art department was colorful. Siddharth Malhotra has done his part with sensitivity and elegance, he was good. Parineeti Chopra was energetic and has that rugged sex appeal which cannot be missed. Adah is a fine performer. Sharat Saxena was superb, Manoj Joshi was the best, Neena Kulkarni was natural, Sameer Khakkar was standard. Others did their bit as required.

This is not one of those regular rom-coms which revolves around a boy meets a girl and they fall in love. This film is very original, its wacky, sad, hilarious, but above all the film is very entertaining, and has a very new feeling to it. Overall, this is a film which would strike a chord with the youth and romance seekers. A must watch in my opinon!!!!
