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.

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...

I don't know about the other reviews of the users but I feel this movie is good. I like the comedy of all the actors especially of Govinda and Manoj Bajpai.Celina Jaitley was too good in the movie and of course hot too.. I guess it is another hit for govinda and in this movie he looks rocking..The dialogues in the movie are good and the concept is also cool.. I like the concept of the movie which is fashion for middle class people which many people think that its not going to work. I think the director wanted to tell everybody that even middle class people needs to get some name in the society and even they are people like others who like fashion and wants to look like page 3 people.

All the fans of Bollywood slapstick comedies (yes there are a lot of you out there) will be disappointed with this rubbish film. Apart from Celina Jaitley in a series of revealing clothes, the film also stars Govinda, Upen Patel and Aftab Shivdasani as three guys trying to get rich in hurry. Bollywood comedies usually turn out to be really funny or really annoying and Money Hai To Honey Hai is really completely annoying, daft, garbage, junk and crap right from start to end of this 2 hours 10 minutes torture device. There is a difference between comedies that require no brains and brainless comedies. The whole movie is dodgy and lacks a single decent joke. The cast couldn't act especially Celina Jaitley who does not even know the ABC of acting. Even the music is rubbish, I disliked every song there is and I usually like at least 1 song of most Bollywood films. Another stupid thing in the movie I noticed is that in the end of the song Jappi Pa the entire crowd disappeared just under 5 seconds before the next shot. Overall I hated everything in this so called comedy, Recommend this movie to someone you really hate.
