REVIEW: Money Hai Toh Honey Hai
An extremely old Govinda pretending to be in his late 20s (reminding you of Dev Anand), a Prem Chopra (remember the famous villain?) trying to be funny with his silly antics, and a useless as usual Upen Patel who can even make Ravi Kissen look admirable. That's one thing that you'll realise after watching this flick.
What's it all about
Kumar Mangat must've been utterly crazy to have produced this one after the immensely disappointing Haal-e-dil [READ REVIEW] but then some people never learn. Directed by Ganesh Acharya, Money Hai Toh... has everything that a sensible set of audience would not want – 'done to death' sexual innuendos, lines with double meaning, Govinda trying to speak English and be hip, Govinda doing his matkas and jhatkas (which we LIKE), Govinda trying to be a boy in his late twenties (already mentioned), Hannsika Motwani, scantily clad women, Ganesh Acharya shaking his belly, a lot of Bhojpuri dialogue delivery, Ravi Kissen (WOW), jokes that have ceased to be funny in 1950, you name it and there, you got it!
Money Hai Toh Honey Hai is about this one big businessman Jaiswal who has become mad with age, played by Prem Chopra. His lucky number happens to be SIX. So, he decides to leave his entire property to six people whose phone numbers he dreams up somehow. Needless to say, these six are Govinda – a spoilt rich kid, Upen Patel – an aspiring model, Celina Jaitley – a struggling designer who wants to make designer clothes for the common man, Aftab Shivadasani – an advertising professional whose lines never sell, Manoj Bajpai – a common man who never loses hope and Hannsika Motwani – the reigning queen of TV soaps who's sick of her bahu avatar and wants to become the sexy siren in Bollywood.

I truly agree wid acid as well this is not the way to write
review about flims !!!
Hi snigdha,
this is a very famous site. Lot
of us/people visit these site for film news and other
information. So any person who is writing an article or a
review has immense responsibility towards us/people. He or
she should take a little more effort before writing
something. Because all of us on the other side are going to
believe what these people write. Her review might be funny
but it is not cohesive nor does it flow right. What
particularly upsets me are certain comments which she has
made about the producer/actors. She is telling upen patel
is useless, she is talking about the producer saying "
some people never learn" . You cannot write like that.
You have to tell me why upen patel is useless . Are his
acting skills bad, dialogue delivery is not correct what is
useless about him ? Give me specific information. Snigdha
you are telling me that i should write reviews myself than
commenting on her review. If we go by this logic then the
person who has written this review should probably stop
writing reviews and make films instead. So the logic that
you are saying does not make sense.
i don't have to write film review because i am not the
one who is working in buzz 18 as the post of a film critic.
It is suranjnana nandi, who is working. It is her job to
write film reviews . So if some of us think that her
review is not good, it's nothing wrong.
we are all working in different fields and all of us are
expected to do a good job where ever we are working. If we
make a mistake then people do criticize us.
i have been working in the media industry for couple of
years now and i know how much effort it takes to make a
film/program and it definitely pains if some tom dick n
harry with no qualification/skill or the basic understanding
starts writing reviews or criticizes
actors/directors/producers.
i am not saying don't write or don't criticize but from
next time do it with little more effort. This is all i am
asking. Is this too much ?
acid
I think it is an immensely funny review. Please spare us the
pseudo intellectualism of the 'acid's of the world, as the
name suggests, acid has nothing but 'gyaan' to dole out to
the world. If you really know how to write a good review,
why don't you write one huh? Or did you get turned doen by
publications and sites everywhere? I don't know who this
nandi is, but i love reading her stuff. Sour grapes mr
acid!
I totally agree with acid...Reviewers should have some
standards while writing a review. Its not a scribbling on
your personal diary so please first read what you have
written before publishing it. Just giving out the story and
adding your rambling is not a film review.
Dear suranjnana nandi,
firstly ,
let's review the review you have written. You sound
thoroughly confused. It looks like you have just filled up
pages just for the sake of writing. I mean who writes in a
review " aftab is decent" ? Bolo kaun likhta hain
aisa ? Take the line " what is also somewhat funny
" phew..!!!! Why do you guys review films when you
don't have the skill nor the qualifications to review films.
Your grammar is also not very correct ( nor that mine is
right but your's has to be ) .
it takes a lot to make a movie so please don't discourage
viewers from watching films. Let them decide how the movie
is. I think " money hain to honey hain is a good film ,
definitely watchable " please before you write another
review just read what you have written over n over again
before giving it for final print. Forgive me if i am very
harsh but writing a film review takes lot more effort.
A very sad film with poor direction..None of the actors were
able to impress..Govinda used to be good for his
expressions..With age he has lost his expressions also..Ppl
go for govinda movies so that they ll get to laugh,,but
unfortunately this movie will make you cry for the money you
have spent on it..
I saw this movie and really think govinda needs to decide
where his priorities lie - bollywood or politics. Cause as
of now he seems to be muddling both of them up. Come on
man.... Choose already... People depend on you in both
industries... Do us some justice!
What!!! What do you mean by non-multiples audiences liking
sexual innuendoes? Huh?
2nd class actor hein to 3rd class mp bhi hein! Congress
possibly just returning favour for helping in elections. No
wonder they replaced the film industry supremo with sharmila
tagore so that they could also control bollywood by possibly
rehancing the career of a 3rd class overfed actor actor who
could not be a proper member of parliament.
