PlotPlay

Nikhil is a failing businessman who believes he has feelings for Karishma. Nikhil is described as someone who thinks there should be no leaving after making a commitment to a girl. Before getting married, Nikhil begs Karishma's father for help of  50 million,  so he can secure a contract. However, Karishma and her father make fun of him for frequently using money in a careless manner. 

Then, Nikhil reconnects with Meeta, Karishma's younger sibling, whom he last saw seven years ago. Meeta, an IIT graduate with a Doctorate in chemical engineering, is a super-intelligent geek with odd tics and habits who ran away to China seven years ago after stealing money from her father for her project. She was a drug addict who needed money to buy drugs.  Now, one week out from Nikhil and Karishma's wedding, Meeta has shown up to meet her father, but Karishma is worried that her sister's unannounced visit will once again spoil their wedding.Nikhil recognises he is marrying the wrong girl after Meeta rejoins her family.

Meeta decides against robbing her father of his money and tells him the reality instead. Her father grants her forgiveness, gives her the money, and sees that Nikhil is in love with her rather than Karishma. Later, Nikhil calls Meeta and apologises for not joining her to Goa when she first requested him to do so seven years prior  When Nikhil visits Meeta and observes Karishma enjoying herself with her friends and relatives, he returns home after understanding that he cannot harm Karishma due to the complications. 

Meeta leaves her house on the wedding day without telling anyone and leaves her phone in Karishma's room. Her calls and numerous messages from Nikhil go unanswered. After reading the messages on Meeta's phone, which she discovered in her room, Karishma knows she has lost Nikhil. She requests that Nikhil depart the wedding, and her father agrees with her choice. At the airport, Meeta cries and  when she and Nikhil reconnect, they declare their love for one another and kiss to make it official.

Reviews

The movie got favourable reviews, with the performances of the lead cast receiving special attention. It received 3.5/5 ratings from Meena Iyer of The Times of India, who wrote, "The romantics who prefer their martinis stirred rather than shaken should watch Hasee Toh Phasee. This romantic comedy subtly reflects the peculiarities of human nature and offers humour in routine circumstances, such as those that arise in the family and among friends. Give HTP a try if you want to rekindle the romance of silly love around Valentine's Day." 

It received 3.5/5 stars from Bollywood Hungama's Taran Adarsh, who also stated, "Hasee Toh Phasee tries to be distinctive. This story is not just about two polar opponents finding love. This is a quirky love story featuring two people that is a little different from the usual material on matters of the heart.

Sukanya Verma of Rediff gave the film the same ratings and stated, "Hasee Toh Phasee is that rare film that enables you to know the two people you're investing in. And the more you get close to them, the more they have you. Without showing any signs of modesty or exaggeration, Parineeti digs her fangs into this misunderstood kook. If that isn't mystical enough, Hasee Toh Phasee certainly is. that living, love, and smiles are all the high you need.
