Plenty of laughs!!

Advantages: Good comedy

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. ...
