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

I happened to watch this film recently, as I missed it in theatres...I didn't like the promos and I wasn't a big fan of Sid or Pari either (Sid's SOTY was hell annoying...he was presented as a male urmila matondkar coming out in trunks between the beaches, the film was a total male skin show and KJO took ramu's seat) hence I had zero expectations, even after the release, despite some great reviews the film didn't make any great noise. I passed it
but lately I got to see it on DVD as a friend of mine insisted it badly to watch it atleast once - true she had a thing - this isn't a mindblowing movie, but this is definitely a charming movie. oh boy did Sid really surprise in this one. You don't really care how he acts, his character is so lovably etched, the way he shows concern, care and warmness is enough to get u hooked. This is certainly his debut. he definitely leaves a mark.

Parineeti I guess is typecasted in type of roles, but she had a solid role to play, although I felt her real act starts from where she introduces sid to her molecule ball before that she has to rely on those weird expessions coming from her anti depressants. a brilliant scientist - Although this make sense into the real life zone but the characters are so wonderfully etched it does leave an impact.

Story is very subtle - warming - a little crisp editing would have made it more effective - suppose that weirdo from nikhil side falling for Meeta aping anu malik's voice was simply a character that made no sense. his scenes could have been easily cut out. The songs are definitely amazing. they look much better on screen than on your ipod.

All in all it was a very good different kind of movie which shouldn't have been missed. But I really wonder how could this movie missed out the mark to become a HIT. I think it should have been a complete success.

What went wrong - The Title Yes ! A big factor - there is nothing cuckin crazy about this film. it's far sensitive and warming movie. so a funny title doesn't make sense at all...boring promos too could be the reason because it tried to show it a wacky film but it turned out to be something else. this i feel went against the movie.

And I am reallhy sorry - no offence I was just going through the members reviews of this movie and have to say its completely bullshit 🥱 half of the thread is filled with people discussing movie's box office collections and its verdict...or others talking about how hot sid was looking😕 the film had much more to tell and I was looking for some decent reviews which I couldn't find elsewhere...

Anyways ! It does feel bad when a good film like this does not get its due

it's declared 'average' by BOI and other sites reported it 'semi-hit' it wasn't a HIT out and out, yes critically acclaimed but still didn't get its due. It didn't make any noise

I think this film was a breezy light hearted rom-com which Dharma Movies are not known for. that's why I feel people didn't take it up to that liking level like 'humpty ki dulhania' I think the previous was much better than the latter.

OMG i totally agree with you! I thought this was a totally underrated movie. The story and the characters were great. I absolutely loved it and thought it deserved more success than it got.
Like you said, its sad when good movies like this do not get its due.

I think it was declared Average or Below Average in the end.

I thought sid was useless b4 this film. He really impressed me in it the boy can act. He was the saving grace of the movie I didn't like pari's character too much she was quite irritating. If it wasn't for me wanting to judge sid's acting I would have stopped watching after seeing her face. But I watched it was a ok movie. Bt I felt it was abit flat and boring. Maybe if I watched it again I would enjoy it. Bt dnt knw. And I didn't like the title. It was a stupid title

scenes between sid and pari are the highlight their chemistry was amazing...
particularly one scene where sid locks her up in room and later finds her accidentally peeing on the floor. then he ends up hugging her . how can you not root for them ? 😳

true the film's title did not make sense at all !!! it had nothing to do with the story
