To know more, read the Be Happy movie review.

Acting and Characters

By understanding his character, Abhishek Bachchan delivered a decent performance as Shiv. His acting style is similar to his father’s. It appears that he is copying his father. His body language and facial expressions appear to be similar to his father’s. He didn’t fully understand the character’s depth, but he was successful in preserving the constancy of the same type of performance. The chemistry that existed between his daughter and grand dad was exactly the opposite of that. Inayat Verma‘s portrayal of Dhara was seen to connect emotionally with the audience. Her performance appeared authentic. Her facial expressions and language delivery reveal her character’s individuality. Not only that, but her rapport with her grandfather was likewise exceptional. Their acting styles were strikingly similar.

There is no need to say anything about Nassar in the part of grandfather; he is regarded as one of the most gifted actors in South Indian cinema. He has demonstrated his acting ability well concerning his part, as evidenced by sequences in which he sees his grand daughter in misery and is unable to see her desire come true. Nora Fatehi‘s character in the role of Maggi was entirely reliant on dance; more emphasis was placed on dance than on acting; her tone of voice, and acting with face or body language is very weak; she is a good dancer but not an actress. Her accent sounds similar to English. Jay Bhanushali, Punit Pathak, Salman Yusuf Khan, Elli AvrRam, and Sonali Bendre all appear as guests.

Direction

Remo D’Souza directs Be Happy (film); he is also a brilliant and well-known choreographer who has worked on numerous Bollywood films, however, his expertise is directing action and dance films. Some of his films, like F.A.L.T.U (2011), ABCD Anybody Can Dance (2013), ABCD 2 (2015), A Flying Jatt (2016), Race 3 (2018), and Street Dance 3D (2020), were successful, while others were not. He has also directed a Bengali film, which starred Mithun Chakraborty. Apart from that, he is also a producer and an actor. However, he was unable to tell the tale of this film in a new way that connected the audience to it, nor was he able to create a film that was both emotionally and entertainingly satisfying. He only received subpar performances from the performers. Yes, he did an excellent job of keeping the film’s vibe consistent. With a poor screenplay, he was unable to keep the story moving forward. He failed to match the expectations and feelings of the audience.

Story-Screenplay-Dialogues

The story-screenplay dialogues written by Remo D’Souza, Tushar Hiranandani, Kanishka Deo, and Chirag Garg are extremely weak and fail to captivate the audiences. The sequences in the film are badly written and do not have an emotional impact. The dialogues are very well-written. The story is unoriginal, and the screenplay fails to develop the characters enough.

Cinematography

Vijay Kumar Arora‘s cinematography is mediocre. The set design has not been exhibited adequately, nor have the sequences been visually impressive. The film’s visuals are average, but they effectively advance the tale, and the lighting and colors are cleverly employed.

Editing

Sherwin Bernard‘s editing is slow. In the second half, it appears that the editing has entirely failed. The film has been dragging on for a long time. The editing isn’t tight. The film can be cut to 20–25 minutes.

Production Design

Tanvi Leena Patil has a decent production design. The set design enhances the film’s visual appeal and transports the audience to the story’s setting. The locations are also convincing, and the dancing stage setups appear natural in the film.

Costume Design

Denish Hamirani‘s costume design represents the creation, background, and personality of the characters in the film. It helps to move the film’s story ahead. The outfit design fits the tone and topic of the film. The indigenous culture and traditions of Mumbai have been highlighted.

Background Score.

Harsh Upadhyay composed the background score by precisely mixing conversation, music, and sound effects. The background score appears to be dramatic in various sections of the film. It nicely complements the film’s topic and heightens the mood of the tale and situations.

Sound Design

The sound design by Sanjay Maurya and Allwin Rego is natural and effective. It supports the film’s concept and tone. Dialogue clarity and blending are also satisfactory. It adds to the film’s emotional impact and is perfectly matched with the images.

Choreography

Remo D’Souza‘s choreography is quite outstanding. Everyone’s dancing moves and expressions are profound, depicting situations and feelings. It is consistent with the music and theme of the film. The dance style fits with the song and scenario, It is dynamic and well-executed. It appears to be part of the tale. Some dancing moments, such as those at the auditions and Abhishek Bachchan’s song, have made the film noteworthy.

Music

Harsh Upadhyay‘s soundtrack for the film is lackluster. There isn’t a single song worth remembering or listening to that makes you want to dance. On which you can dance. The music was effectively used, but it could not have been enjoyable.

be happy song

Pranav Vats‘s lyrics are pretty weak and ordinary.

Climax

It’s the same old climax that we’ve seen in many movies. There is nothing new about the climax.

Opinion

You should watch movie at least once for the excellent dance sequences, movements, and choreography.

Be Happy 2025 Rating

4/10

Flaws

The girl’s recurring joint problems suggest that she may be suffering from an illness or bone-related issue. The same thing happened, as we realized after watching the film. Bone cancer was demonstrated. The girl’s dream was not seen to be realized. Some scenes appear to be pulled from older films. We’ve seen such films many times before. There was nothing novel or unique. Johnny Lever’s performance in the film was underwhelming and wasted. His role was unnecessary regardless.

Fact

The majority of Remo D’Souza’s films have English titles.
