Hasee to Phasee


Have been revisiting some movies since last few weeks and happened to watch Hasee to Phasee again. This movie has always been close to my heart for the way it depicted father-daughter relationship. And now after this second outing it has grown over me manifolds. Those scenes between Parineeti and Manoj Joshi leaves me moist-eyed. I really commend the acting and writing in those scenes. He is the most perfect dad who still dotes her little one in spite of her giving so much grief all these years. Even after 7 years, the emotional bonding has not waned. But in fact has grown even stronger.

Apart from those strong emotional moments, I love this film for Parineeti's acting. Her acting hasn’t been fully tapped yet. She is a powerhouse. Given right roles, I am sure she can stand as tall as Deepika and Alia. Coming to music, I am absolutely in love with Zehnaseeb. One of my all time favs. Such a beautiful tune and is so brilliantly rendered. Manchala isnt far behind.

The script has its share of shortfalls. Some of the characters werent fully defined. 2 of Manoj's daughters had fleeting appearances with very rare mention of them. They could have done away with those 2 daughters. Similarly some of the characters on Siddharth's side of family werent introduced/used well.
