There are quite a few sparkling lines peppered throughout with Parineeti getting the best of them. The few glitches are provided by an otherwise very good screenplay by Harshavardhan Kulkarni (also debuting). From the crisp editing (Shweta Venkat Mathew), to fluid cinematography (Sanu John Varughese) and great production design (Aditya Kanwar) there are hardly any glitches anywhere. This is by no means the work of a novice, in fact technically the film is absolutely brilliant. They say that the devil is in the details and Hasee Toh Phasee makes sure that the details are well taken care of. Barring these minor details Hasee Toh Phasee is one of the better romantic comedies to have come out in past few years (joining the ranks of Ek Main Aur Ek Tu, Shuddh Desi Romance, Band Baaja Baraat) sparkling with great performances and the director Vinil Mathew has made a very assured debut.ĭespite having a big fat Indian wedding as the backdrop the film doesn’t suffer from most of the cliches associated with them albeit it does pay homage to a few characters that are a common sight in real Indian weddings.


Secondly, there are a few incredulous plot points in the movie that seem to have been worked out in a hurry and hinder the pace in a few places. HTP is their first outing together and the film in fact has moments that are reminiscent of both it’s parents so to say, and this marriage has worked out in a charming little gem of a film.įirst things first, the title Hasee Toh Phasee is quite misleading and out of place for the movie that follows afterwards. A movie co-produced by Dharma Productions (Karan Johar) and Phantom productions (Anurag Kashyap, Vikramaditya Motwane, Vikas Behl, Madhu Mantena), two production houses that were, a while back, polar opposites of sorts. Hasee Toh Phasee (HTP) is a distinctive first of sorts.
