India’s largest premium cinema chain, PVR INOX Limited, has announced the theatrical re-release of Hasee Toh Phasee in collaboration with Dharma Productions. The beloved romantic comedy will return to cinemas on March 6, giving audiences a chance to relive its unconventional charm on the big screen.

Directed by Vinil Mathew and produced by Karan Johar, Vikas Bahl, Vikramaditya Motwane and Anurag Kashyap, the 2014 release carved a niche for itself as a refreshingly offbeat love story that seamlessly blended quirkiness, emotional vulnerability and heartfelt storytelling.

Featuring Sidharth Malhotra and Parineeti Chopra in the lead roles, the film narrates the story of Nikhil, a struggling businessman who believes he is deeply in love with his girlfriend Karishma and plans to marry her. However, circumstances take an unexpected turn when he finds himself drawn to her intelligent, geeky and delightfully eccentric sister, Meeta. The romance unfolds over a chaotic week leading up to the wedding, resulting in a heartwarming yet unconventional love story.

Over the years, the film has earned admiration for its sharp screenplay, witty and widely quoted dialogues, soulful music and memorable performances. Its theatrical comeback is expected to serve as a nostalgic revisit for longtime fans while also introducing a new generation to its distinctive storytelling.

Talking about the re-release, the producer of the film, Karan Johar, said, "Hasee Toh Phasee has a very special and warm place in my heart. It wasn’t a conventional love story; it was awkward, unpredictable, and beautifully flawed, much like love itself. A love story of misfits, as I fondly call it, the film celebrates the idea that you don’t fall in love with perfection; you fall in love with chaos, with individuality, with someone who turns your world delightfully upside down. Watching audiences rediscover that magic in cinemas again is exciting, and I am looking forward to its re-release at PVR INOX Limited.”

Sharing his thoughts, director Vinil Mathew shared that when they made Hasee Toh Phasee, the intention was to tell a love story about two individuals who didn’t quite fit in — characters who were emotionally messy yet deeply sincere. He explained that it was never envisioned as a conventional romantic comedy, but rather as a story about embracing imperfections and discovering connection in the most unexpected places.

He further noted that the film explored a wide spectrum of themes, including dysfunctional families and the burden of expectations, struggles with self-worth, the isolation of urban life, and ultimately, the courage required to choose love despite the odds.
