Plenty of laughs!!

Advantages: Good comedy
Disadvantages: Unoriginal storyline

Although, the original concept of Chachi 420 is taken from the movie "Mrs. Doubtfire", Kamal Haasan with his exceptional directorial skills has added a unique touch to the movie making it hilariously entertaining. Kamal Haasan stars in both the Hindi and Tamil versions of this movie. In Chachi 420, he efficiently plays both characters, that of a doting father ...

a very light comedy

Advantages: very funny, performance of the stars
Disadvantages: not much of a storyline

...they combine very well. The few scenes of Paresh Rawal do entertain the most. Haseena Maan Jayegi is a good laugh and good reason to enjoy three hours of nonsense. Sorry, but theres not much more to tell. I would watch this again though, just because its hilarious. ...
