How could a film like 'HASEE TOH PHASSE' miss the Target? - Page 4

OMG i logged in after quite a while and you have posted this.. Can i start by saying that I loved your post and agree 100% to whatever you have written.. Now coming to the topic the biggest reason, why it didn't get the cash registers ringing, was because it wasn't promoted well.. It was a joint venture of phantom and dharma but Dharma was responsible for the marketing and this goes without saying that they didn't promote it as well as they usually do.. Probably because this was no Alia movie.. They did the same with brothers as well.. Secondly it was sidneeti which helped them earn whatever they did.. With such dull promotions and 3 other options to watch in the same day HTP came out as a semi hit is a proof of that.. I became a fan of both of sid and pari after watching HTP.. I used to like Parineeti after ishaqzaade but this movie earned her a new fan.. and same goes for Sid.. I became a fan after watching HTP.. Unfortunately people consider a movie as 'good' only if it earns moolah at the box office.. This is a beautiful movie which was unable to do that and it's very unfortunate..

The only good thing about the film is Ishq Bulawaa 😳

Pathetic movie!! Worst was, the way pari was acting like a retard scientist, for no apparent reason. And I hate the idea of jumping from one sis to another. Such headache that movie was.

well why do people really think that plot is about jumping one sis from another if you really watch the movie, karishma (adaa khan) is her name :/ she was never in love with sid's character, it was more of a relationship and she was just toying with him that's why she never taken him seriously, she considered him a joke...the guy just tried every possible way working out - in the process he actually realized he was in love with meeta coz their sensibilties matched, their hearts and their souls are made for each other...and meeta was more relatable to him than karishma, he fall for her looks, even at the end he was willing to sacrifice his love for karishma but she let him go so where is the problem 😕 he did like meeta at the very start of the movie itself, it was so clear

sid's part was brilliantly etched, i just wished they had worked harder on parineeti's part.. she takes really much time to get into the skin of the character. otherwisr this film is damn good !

A big no to rom com movies frm my side

I actually liked the movie myself! I don't like parineeti offscreen but I quite enjoyed her character and her chemistry with Sid! But I think the movie was too weird for aam junta! Romantic movies hardly work anymore which is such a shame! But that shipping of Sid and parineeti offscreen after the movie puts me off to no end!

I thought the film was very good, and entertaining. And if you ask me much better than some of the other recent dharma films. I don't think the movie was promoted that well compared to other dharma films- it was promoted less than say humpty. Idk why maybe because it had Parineeti instead of Alia. I don't think Karan Johor put too much effort into promoting the film himself at all. It would have done better if he put it more effort. So I actually have no idea- it should have done better in my opinion. I have seen it a couple of times.

One note I would like to make to these supporting characters also : They deserve a mention :
