Movie Review: Hasee Toh Phasee

The movie should have been named, Gayee Toh Phasee. A story that is predictable from the first five mins, with over the top, loud performances. Meaningless sub-plots and "comic scenes" stretching endlessly and randomly - from the "laugh riot" investigation of the stolen necklace to the "touching" susu in the saree scene, that is ridiculous to say the least. A sound track that is eminently forgettable and listless - including the opening credits, the marriage songs and a background sequence sometime in the first half. There is nothing nuanced about the movie, including the forced smooch at the end.

Parineeti makes an attempt at portraying something different, but it is pretty one dimensional and repetitive, and doesn't impress. Siddharth carries on being Student of the Year, and has less to do than his red Pajero. Adah Sharma wows in the opening scene, and is pretty in a couple of scenes, but quickly loses the plot.

Overall, very hard to imagine this is the same stable that gave us such classics with the King Khan!
