Review
Let me begin by stating that this
is one Rom-com that I enjoyed watching, not that I am not a fan of romantic
comedies, but just that most of the films made in this genre of late have
managed to disappoint me. I believe it’s a pretty difficult genre to make
movies in, add a little more emotions and the comedy goes for a toss, and add a
little more comedy and the romance goes for a toss. Its always difficult to
strike a perfect balance between the two and yet manage to make an entertaining
film. Well, Hasee to Phasee has managed
to do that up to a certain extent.
Let’s talk about the story, Nikhil
( Sidharth Malhotra ) is a struggling business man coming from a family filled
with IAS, IPS, etc officers. Basically, he is the odd man out in the family.
His, girlfriend Karishma (Adah Sharma) is an actress who comes from a
successful business family. Nikhil is someone who believes in commitment and is
a type of person who will never stray away from his girl. Now, Nikhil and
Karishma are supposed to be married in 7 days and Karishma wants Nikhil to
prove that he is not a loser and asks him to arrange for 5 crores before the
marriage. In the meantime, Meeta ( Parineeti Chopra) who is Karishma’s younger
sister has returned. Meeta is a eccentric lady, a chemical engineer from IIT
and she is someone who had run away from home after stealing her fathers’ money
7 years ago during their elder sister Diksha’s wedding after her father refused
to give her the money she required to do a project she wanted to do. She had
run off to China and had had set up a lab over there. But, that incident 7 years
ago had shocked her dad ( Manoj Joshi) and had resulted in him having a heart
attack. Karishma, is very troubled by
Meeta’s return and entrusts Nikhil with the job of keeping her away from her
Father.
That’s where the story begins,
woh saat din. Nikhil and Meeta develop feelings towards each other. So watch
the movie to know what happens next, does Nikhil marry Karishma, or Meeta, and
why has Meeta returned in the first place after so many years.
Does, Nikhil
manage to get his 5 crores. Now I won’t be writing the whole story here.
Parineeti Chopra as Meeta is very good as the eccentric mad scientist , who
keeps popping pills to ward off depression. Sidharth Malhotra does a good job
of essaying the role of a struggling businessman, struggling to settle his life
and struggling to understand his love. Manoj Joshi as the father
of the bride is superb and the way he delivers his one liners tickles
your funny bone.
Adah Sharma looks
refreshingly pleasant , well the last time I saw her was 1920 as a possessed girl
and she looked scary in it. She does a good job essaying the role of Karishma,
the bride to be. I enjoyed every bit of
the movie, the cinematography was delightful and the editing was crisp, the
movie keeps up a steady tempo from beginning to end and doesn’t seem to drag
even one bit. The music is good, but not exceptional. Overall, it’s a very
enjoyable movie and as I said earlier it manages to blend romance and comedy
perfectly.
