==Critical Reception==
The movie received mostly positive reviews from critics who praised the performance of the lead cast, the music and the humour content. Meena Iyer of times of India gave it 4/5 stars, stating, "''Hasee Toh Phasee'' is for the romantics who like their martinis stirred not shaken.

This one's a quirky love tale involving two individuals, shades different from the mundane stuff on matters of heart.

A review from [[India Today]] awarded it with 3/5 stars and wrote, "''Hasee Toh Phasee'' is a refreshing, much-needed entry in the contemporary romcom genre, which has lately seen a series of uninspiring films.
