Hasee Toh Phasee [Movie-Hindi-2014]

SPOILER.

Hasee Toh Phasee. Classic example of a failed attempt at trying something different. Yes, I was enjoying the first half – I was confused as to where the story is going, yet I would say it was good, and funny. It was something new, and I hoped it to steer away from the clichés we see in Bollywood movies. Seriously, how many times do we need to see that either the groom, or the bride for that matter has a DIVINE notion, and thus averts the marriage, at a brilliant timing of course. To start by something completely new, and again falling back to that level was what was so damn frustrating. At the end, it became highly predictable, resulting in me waiting for the movie to end, and eventually leaving before the movie actually got over.

 The plot was very confusing at the start, as we see Siddharth Malhotra as Nikhil, the oh-so charming hero of the movie, falling in love with Adah Sharma [Karishma], and fast-forward to 7 years down the line, to the scene of their marriage. Enter Parineeti Chopra [Miti], with all her weird drug addiction, and kleptomania, and strange Chinese skype calls, the long estranged sister of Karishma. And what comes later, the makers believe we could never predict. Miti and Nikhil fall in love with each other after spending 3 days together. Yes, that is exactly just what happens in the everyday life. [Refer Sarcasm]

I really loved Parineeti's acting. Siddharth is just another average actor with a good face. The music - I can't even bear to look at how the songs in Bollywood are degrading day by day. There was a time when I actually used to like listening to the radio and hear good Hindi songs. Sadly, that time has passed away. Some songs, there is no need for, and the songs which were apt, too suck. Well, what can one expect from a Dharma Productions?
What I conclude after watching this movie was that I will not go blindly for a Hindi movie again.

Avoid it.

My Rating - 6.2/10
