#MOVIE HASEE TOH PHASEE CRACKED#
I would count Sidharth Malhotra’s floppy- haired loser-trying-to-find-himself as one of the pluses of this film, even if he doesn’t come across too different with two girls he oscillates between : Cracked Meeta and Hardheaded Practical Karishma ( Adah). Some absolutely delightful sequences get lost. So many of the plot devices feel so contrived and cobbled together that you lose sight of the best things about the film. Nor her over-the-top act, which overshadows her natural easy self. She’s given a reason to be like that, but I didn’t buy it. Meeta’s weirdness comes down to making faces, sticking her tongue sideways, talking fast in sing-song : basically acting hard at acting weird. Why the cop out? People can be bright and weird at the same time, but then you have to make it the right kind of weird. You want Meeta to be sharp and bright and talk about plastic and polymers and renewable energy, more power to you.
Lest Meeta is condemned to be one of those intelligent `behenjis’, she is saddled with a ‘jhalli’ other self, and made to do all kinds of strange things for no good reason. Mind, in a Bollywood heroine? But before we can break into a ‘bhangra’, or break out the bubbly, we are pulled up short. Meeta (Parineeti Chopra) is the kind of girl who uses her mind to invent things. What it doesn’t have is a coherent story, and that’s why none of the refreshing bits add up. The smart, varying sensibilities of co-producers Karan Johar and Anurag Kashyap, a likeable leading man, and a crackerjack heroine. It is most exasperating, because ‘Hasee Toh Phasee’ seems to have everything going for it.
