And why not? It has great looking people (Deepika and Ranbir looked every bit the ideal Bollywood pair), scenic locations, chartbuster songs (each song in the album was a huge hit, with the biggest ones being ‘Badtameez Dil’ and ‘Balam Pichkari’) and all the ingredients of a run-of-the-mill Bollywood blockbuster. ‘Yeh Jawani Hai Deewani’ has been a favourite with the masses from the time it was released. A well-written romantic comedy, Hasee Toh Phasee will definitely win your hearts! This is also one of Siddharth Malhotra’s better performances and he complements Parineeti perfectly. Also, ‘Zehnaseeb’ was the ideal song to articulate their feelings! Parineeti as the quirky, genius scientist is witty, charming and a shift from the typical projection of Bollywood heroines. The romance here is not the ‘I will bring down the stars’ kind of romance, but more in the comfort that the two share.

Parineeti Chopra and Siddharth Malhotra have an easy chemistry in the film, that transforms from friendship to love beautifully. It is one of the few movies in the 2010s that can be actually termed as a pure romantic comedy. I had absolutely no expectations when I watched ‘Hasee Toh Phasee’ for the first time, but the film managed to surprise me pleasantly.
