Casting :
Anurag Kashyap, who is very excited about this project, said, “The story works with fresh faces, but requires a high level of chemistry and maturity in the performances. After spending months shortlisting various actors, we finalised Sidharth and Parineeti.”

Film Shooting :
Film shooting started on 18 April 2013. Film director Vinil Mathew on interview stated that, Sidharth Malhotra, who would be cast as a middle class working man in the film, said, “It didn’t feel like the first day of shoot because he is so sorted and knows exactly what he wants. He made us rehearse a lot during a two-month workshop before shooting started”.
Sidharth Malhotra on interview stated that, “he plays a character who is stressed out, lost and sentimental. He meets a girl who is a bit cracked.
Parineeti Chopra in her interview explain that her character was a quite difficult one. It is the first collaboration for both the protagonists with each other, but however, none complained and instead, both were praising each other to be energetic and tireless.
Adah Sharma was also involved in the cast as one of the lead role was supposed to be kept a secret as the producers wanted to make an official announcement about it. But it was later showed as Adah was seen shooting for the film at the Bandra Bandstand Promenade.

Review of the film :
This film reviews are mostly mix to positive from critics.
Critics reviews :
- Meena Iyer of Times of India rated the film 4 star from 5 stars, writes that, “Hasee Toh Phasee is for the romantics who like their martinis stirred not shaken. This romantic comedy mirrors the quirks in human nature subtly and provides humour in everyday situations; in the family and amongst friends. If you’re looking to rediscover the magic of goofy love around Valentines, give HTP a shot.”
- Taran Adarsh of Bollywood Hungama gave it 3.5 star from 5 stars and noted that, “Hasee Toh Phasee dares to be distinctive. This one’s not merely about opposites falling in love. This one’s a quirky love tale involving two individuals, shades different from the mundane stuff on matters of heart”
- Sukanya Verma of Rediff gave the also 3.5 star out of 5 star and stated that, “Hasee Toh Phasee is that rare film that allows you to know the two people you’re investing in. And the closer you get, the more they win you over. Parineeti sinks her teeth into this misunderstood kook without a trace of self-consciousness or exaggeration. If that’s not magical enough, what Hasee Toh Phasee celebrates certainly is. That the only high you need is life, love and smiles.”
- Mohar Basu of Koimoi gave it 3 star from 5 stars and stated that, “The film is both pleasantly surprising and utterly baffling in equal amounts. Though Vinil Mathew’s direction might not be perfect due to his lack of experience, Hasee Toh Phasee will definitely win your heart for the symbiotically arranged, pitch perfect chemistry of Parineeti Chopra and Sidharth Malhotra. It was passionate and compelling, almost to make me wish that they were a real life couple and that alone becomes the winning shot.”
- India Today critics gave 3 star from 5 stars, writes that, “Hasee Toh Phasee is a refreshing, much-needed entry in the contemporary romcom genre, which has lately seen a series of uninspiring films. It’s largely to do with the presence of an unseen pairing with great chemistry – Chopra and Sidharth Malhotra – and Mathew and writer Harshvardhan Kulkarni’s perky take on love.”
- Tushar Joshi of Daily News and Analysis rate the film 3 star out of 5 stars, stated that, “The lead pair of Sidharth and Parineeti make Hasee Toh Phasee enjoyable and believable. This odd pairing works only because these two actors take an effort to play their characters with utmost sincerity. Watch it if you want to see a different take on modern day romance. Hasee Toh Phasee is worth a watch for a solid act put together by its lead pair.”
