The last bit is treated a tad too simplistically and mysteriously so as to not disrupt the rosy picture. She’s also an oddball, an eloper and a drifter who’s developed seriously unhealthy habits. She’s a scientist whose invention mirrors her own unstoppable, bouncing impulses. She’s her daddy’s girl (played with rare grace by Manoj Joshi) who smilingly overlooks her many mischiefs because he appreciates her extraordinary intellect.
Parineeti chopra in hasee toh phasee images how to#
She’s a problem child for her traditional Gujarati household that doesn’t know how to handle her restless brilliance. And the closer you get, the more they win you over. Hasee Toh Phasee is that rare film that allows you to know the two people you’re investing in.
Like it usually happens when you’re in fascinating company. Instead how everything transpires is Hasee Toh Phasee in a nutshell.Įven though there’s a brief backstory to brief us about the temperament of sensitive Nikhil (Siddharth Malhotra) and peculiar Meeta (Parineeti Chopra), Hasee Toh Phasee doesn’t move cut to cut, it progresses gradually without letting us feel how time flies by. These two prolific filmmakers with diametrically dissimilar body of work, along with co-producers, Vikramaditya Motwane and Vikas Bahl jointly spearhead what I found to be a delightful romance comedy.ĭirected by Vinil Mathew and based on Harshavardhan Kulkarni’s story/screenplay, Hasee Toh Phasee takes a familiar premise - two people on the brink of tying the knot and introduces a third party to cause expected stir. She could well be speculating about the outcome of a collaboration between Karan Johar’s spunk and Anurag Kashyap’s ingenuity. Socho mein idea hoti aur tum technology, humari patang kya mast udti na?” coos Parineeti Chopra in one of Hasee Toh Phasee’s *many* winning scenes. Only it doesn’t happen like it used to, writes Sukanya Verma. The film received mostly positive reviews, with critics dubbing Saina as Parineeti’s career-best performance.Hasee Toh Phasee takes a familiar premise - two people on the brink of tying the knot and introduces a third party to cause expected stir. Netizens are also super impressed by Parineeti’s incredible turn as the ace shuttler in Amol Gupte’s directorial which has been a long time in the making. The biographical drama totally relies on her performance to hold together the tight emotional and inspiring story which chronicles the life of India’s most prolific sportsperson Saina Nehwal from being a small-town girl from Haryana to becoming the top-ranked badminton player in the world. With Saina, Parineeti seems to have made one more smart move. It’s only March but her performance will definitely be remembered as one of the best acts of the year," a user tweeted after watching the film in cinemas. Dibakar Banerjee and Varun Grover (writer) make yet another great film and special mention to Parineeti as she is so good. “Sandeep Aur Pinky Faraar is actually a near-perfect film. Even though the film opened to a lukewarm response at the box office, owing partly to a major spike in COVID-19 cases, Parineeti’s performance was praised by the audience and critics alike.
Parineeti once again stole the show as independent, intelligent, and unafraid Sandeep, a high-flying banker, who rejects conventions at every step in Dibakar Banerjee’s black comedy Sandeep Aur Pinky Faraar which is a story of two vastly contrasting characters on the run. Parineeti Chopra as Sandeep Kaur in Dibakar Banerjee’s ‘Sandeep Aur Pinky Faraar’ Whether it was playing opposite Sushant Singh Rajput in ‘Shuddh Desi Romance,’ Sidharth Malhotra in ‘Hasee Toh Phasee,’ or Aditya Roy Kapur in Daawat-e-Ishq, it was always the same formula- encashing on her girl-next-door image with different actors, giving them some sort of dysfunctional relationship, and a feature film was ready. But soon, fortunately, or unfortunately, the actress became synonymous with the rom-com roles. Parineeti the performer has always been good, always been multifaceted, who even got a special mention at the National Film Awards for her terrific turn as unapologetic, unabashed, hot-tempered, Zoya Qureshi in her sophomore film Ishaqzaade. Even a three-year acting hiatus from 2014 to 2017 couldn’t yield any great results for the actress who was again more or less offered similar roles. Her image wasn’t one the audiences were used to seeing in an intense thriller or a larger-than-life biopic.
We are just three months into 2021 and the actress has already delivered three back-to-back critically acclaimed performances in The Girl on the Train, Sandeep Aur Pinky Faraar and Saina.įor years, many of us knew Parineeti simply as the cute, carefree, bubbly, happy-go-lucky girl from Ladies vs Ricky Bahl, Ishaqzaade, Shuddh Desi Romance and Hasee Toh Phasee. Is this the year of Parineeti Chopra? That could very well be the case.
