BootDigest Such a frustrating disappointment

Nessieldwi Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

Helllins It is both painfully honest and laugh-out-loud funny at the same time.

Donald Seymour This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

GaneshKSalian Money Hai Toh Honey Hai directed by Ganesh Acharya is a terrible waste of a terrific opportunity.Story:- Manikchand Khiralal (Upen Patel) is a struggling model who gets kicked out by his mentor, Dolly (Archan Puran Singh), when she finds another boyfriend; Lalabhai Bharodia (Manoj Bajpai) has no business acumen, and has lost millions; Shruti (Celina Jaitely) is a much abused and underpaid designer; Gaurav Negi (Aftab Shivdasani) gets fired from his job with Glamour Ad Agency; Ashima Kapoor (Hansika Motwani) is a blacklisted daytime soap actress; and Bobby Arora (Govinda) is a slacker who lives off his wealthy parents and wastes their time and money. Although they have nothing in common, they will soon find out that they have been chosen by an eccentric billionaire, Krishnakumar Jaiswal (Prem Chopra), to be future heirs of Jaiswal Textiles. Initially thrilled at finding employment and fulfilling their dreams, the six will soon realize that they are also heirs to a huge debt and must arrange to re-pay it at any and all costs, while facing opposition from Parag Batra, Jaiswal's embittered Manager (Ravi Kissen).The direction,screenplay,music,performances,dialogs everything are bad.All in all,do not watch watch Money Hai Toh Honey Hai.I am going give it a zero on ten.Even watching two hours forty-six minutes,Salman Khan's Yuvvraaj is much better than watching this 2 hours 22 minutes silly movie!

Ipsit Bibhudarshi Heir less industrialist Jaiswal (Prem Chopra) wants to leave his 100 crore-business empire to six beneficiaries chosen from random mobile numbers before he dies. The six of them initially dismissing the 'crank calls' announcing how lucky they were considering it meaningless until circumstance forces them to go and accept their luck. What follows is a senseless, boringly unfunny and pointless drama. What we receive is a muddled and paltry script and boring unwanted below the standard dialogues.All the actors including the all so reliable Govinda are below par as per their acting is concerned although Hansika Motwani shows some promise in her animated turn as Ashima Kapoor the wannabe film star and soap superstar. Govinda need to shed of some kilos to get into the groove. He is expressionless throughout and the whole lot of other actors including Aftab Shivdasni, Manoj Bajpai, Celina Jaitely and Upen Patel do their part as if forced upon.The absence of humor in this so-called comedy film makes it quite unbearable to watch. There is hardly any moment, which will even make you give a weary smile. The lone message given through a fashion show is lost between the atrocious story and screenplay.Director Ganesh Acharya fails once again and goes down further after his debut "Swami". The look alike of Ekta Kapoor and Vijay Mallya couldn't salvage the film though. As if the sultry dance sequences are not enough from the six actors Ganesh puts himself in one of those and the result is awful. It would be a sound advice to Ganesh to forget about the directing part and concentrate on his choreographic stints. He his torn between giving a comedy and a dose of social awakening part and succeeds in none. Honey, we should waste our money on this spice less and tasteless film.

bobbysing There are numerous comedy films which have been served left & right to us in the past few months and most of them were just trash and disaster at the box office. MHTHH is a little different from them all because the director seems to be in dilemma while making it.Ganesh Acharya mixes the film and tries to capture two genres, one is Comedy and the other is a Social Drama. Like his earlier venture "Swami", the director seems to love Social Dramas and therefore tries to incorporate that element too in the movie which otherwise is promoted as a pure comedy. But sadly both the elements fall flat and the final product is not that amusing for the viewers.A bunch of 6 people are selected randomly to own a huge business empire which is itself under the burden of a big loan. These 6 persons from different backgrounds then try to rebuild the empire with their own efforts and succeed. That's the storyline which has a feel of Dejavu too. Not exactly but a similar kind of storyline was there in "Maalamal" featuring Naseeruddin Shah which was too an inspired movie itself. Interestingly it had a song "Maal Hai To Taal Hai" which is very close to the title "Money Hai To Honey Hai" The movie starts off as a comedy in first half and turns into a drama in the second half. That is the most unimpressive part of the script. Only Govinda & Archna Puran Singh manage to give some good scenes and rest all are just filling their parts. Reference to well known celebrity Vijay Mallya has been used very cruelly in few sequences.Musically the songs have some good beat and hip-hop pattern but not all are memorable enough. "Aithe Aa Jaffi Pa" is the best song in the movie with some good singing.Summing up, its neither a good comedy nor an entertaining social drama. The movie gets confused within the two plots and that's what makes it unimpressive. It is expected that Ganesh Acharya, with so much experience of Bollywood, must come up with a good product next time.

ddiadem I always thought that there are some fixed patterns in making films...This one typically is the underdogs turn winners category.Its a simple story of six good-for-nothing people coming into conditional riches at the hands of an eccentric millionaire. The conditional riches is a textile industry with enormous assets and even more liabilities. Its up to the six under-dogs to convert the losses to profits. Obviously, they manage to do it!! The very important element of this category of movies is the struggle from negativity and demotivation to optimism and perseverance. External romance ruins such movies. The only romance which could have withstood the film was the one between aftab and kim sharma...which is prematurely terminated. How Govinda and Aftab fall in love is a real suspense...I still don't know the answer. When there are six underdogs, their story of losses should be concise and their fight towards victory should be elaborate...even after interval, for a long time, u don't even know that they are underdogs. Motivation!!! Audience should feel the motivation from within, in each member of the team. The only people who are motivated from the six leads are Govinda and Celina. Rest all just look like the yes-men. Manoj Bajpai!! Immense talent wasted in a role which for all practical purposes might be a guest appearance. They seem to have started with making of a Scary movie (spoof) and suddenly remembered that this was to be Guru(Story of real life). I started with negatives because I am feeling angry with the script-writer for wasting a good central idea, director for putting in useless songs, editor for mis-judging the importance of the scenes, Govinda, Aftab, Manoj and Celina...for wasting the talent....There are some positives...4 stars out of the six I have given go for the climax. In the movie, celina says that beauty is skin-deep, style is what makes a person stand straight...and they really put on ramp the people who are not exceptionally hot...and they DO look good...It honestly features short people, fat people, not-so-good-looking people and get away with it...Shruti really dresses them up and does a make-over which does not look impossible...and does look like a winner...Fifth star is for govinda. He is good. He gives life to the Movie.Last star is for manoj, aftab and celina. They look good.Hansika entertains, but u cannot watch this movie for her. Ditto Upen.What could have been better??? 1. The team had an advertising genius. They should have used him. 2. The team had a wonderful PR person. He should have participated in campaigning. The winning of fashion show bid, could be more dramatic. The winning of the bank employee...too thin. Both the scenes had great potential. It was wasted (due to time constraint, I suspect.) 3. The team had a guy with dreams. He should have built his dreams. They show him learn lessons from past. He should have used them. 4. A television star. She could have been a part of advertising campaign. 5. The audience is told in 15 seconds that the model and dress designer would make ordinary people a ramp material. (I have no clue why would a famous television personality play no part in it). The struggle should have been evident. It feels unrealistic that people with no extra-ordinary talent get on the ramp and have the attitude and élan in 5 minutes flat...Govinda fans say that watch govinda movies by leaving the brain outside the theater. I watched MHTHH like that. I had fun. But my takeaway could have been better...
