But I went back and checked his reviews for Sushant and Arjun for SDR and Ishquazaade respectively...He liked Parineeti the best in those movies as well...SSR got ok comments but ARjun was criticized..so guess its alright...Maybe with next movie Sid will impress the harshest critics as well *hope and pray*

Movie Review: Hasee Toh Phasee

Director: Vinil Mathew
Cast: Parineeti Chopra, Siddharth Malhotra, Sharat Saxena, Neena Kulkarni, Adah Sharma and others
Rating:

Boy (Nikhil-Siddharth Malhotra) meets girl (Meeta-Parineeti Chopra) very briefly. They meet again after seven years. This time the boy is about to get married to another girl in the next seven days. To make matters complicated you find that he is about to get married to the girl's younger sister (Mitali-Adah Sharma). No prizes for guessing that the boy will finally get married to the girl he first met seven years ago. The fun and the most interesting part of the film lies in discovering how the boy and girl are thrown into situations, forcing them to grow close to each other.

A huge chunk of debutant director Vinil Mathew's Hasee Toh Phasee (HTP) takes you through this woh saat din romcom in a refreshing way even though it all happens in the backdrop of a predictable, big fat Indian wedding with uncles, aunts and cousins, adding dollops of colour, fun and madness to it.

HTP is laced with hilarious situations and there are many laugh out loud moments which keep you entertained throughout this over two-hour-twenty-one minutes long film. It threatens to get slightly melodramatic in the second half but quickly saves itself from a deja vu pit. Both Nikhil and Meeta's characters are well-etched out. He is a good-for nothing but practical gent who will do anything to please his fiancee and she is a chemical engineer who will rob her own family to fund her research in China.

The well-written film is breezy, funny, witty, a fast-paced story, packed with crackling dialogue. Parineeti Chopra's performance is the best of the lot. She sparkles and dazzles with natural ease and makes you feel for her when she pops all those anti-depressant drugs. After his first film Student of The Year, Siddharth Malhotra, climbs up several notches, proving that he is more than just a pretty boy. You may want to take him a little more seriously as an actor post HTP and even the awkwardness that he displayed while dancing in his first film has disappeared. Proof: See him groove to Shake it like Shammi.

After his recent stellar performance in Club 60, Sharat Saxena once again manages to shine in a brief but well-played out role. The rest of the supporting cast lend able support and are a delight to watch their individual peculiarities. Adah Sharma succeeds in getting on your nerves, playing the control freak fiancee. Vishal-Shekhar's music is peppy and enjoyable.

Hasee Toh Phasee could be your best bet at cinemas this week.
