Their body language smacks of childhood friends unsure of where they are going now and their unease, as well as their comfort towards one another is almost palpable. Their interactions are intuitive and mostly happen over exchanged glances but they still manage to convey it all. He does get his moment when he confronts Abhay about how people can't help but fall in love with Happy and he doesn't mind that and has learned to live with it.īoth Abhay and Momal, as the more adult characters, are a delight to watch. You laugh at him because he isn't a stock villain and does give you some moments of genuine mirth, like his dancing to Yaara o yaara on his wedding, for instance.Īli Fazal too has got the slacker boy with a golden heart act down pat. The actor revs up the clueless bad guy act admirably. Jimmy Shergill has signed some sort of a bond with Anand L Rai about not ever getting the girl in his films. The fact that he's an unemployed musician makes the concern of Happy's dad more legitimate. You wonder why someone as frothy, as bubbly and as resolute as Happy wants to spend the rest of her life with a slacker like him. He's a guy with a good heart but that's it. Happy and Guddu's is a fluffy college romance by contrast. They silently go through a conflict before reaching a mature resolution, getting a deeper understanding towards each other in the process. Happy and Guddu's love story take a back seat and the film becomes more about Bilal Ahmed (Abhay Deol) and his possessive fiancee Zoya (Momal Sheikh). Then, she's sort of shunted away and it's left to the ensemble cast to put the film to put the film to right. Happy (Diana Penty), doesn't want to marry Bagga (Jimmy Shergill), plans to elope with Guddu (Ali Fazal) jumps in the wrong truck and lands up in Pakistan. What the film suffers from is a one line plot. Rai believes in creating situational comedies and that's what Happy.does too, careening from one mix up to the other without completely losing its mooring. Director Mudassar Aziz however, has followed the path of his mentor Anand L Rai, who also happens to be the film's producer. Now, we follow mostly the broad comedy method in our films, depending upon gags and slapstick to get the point across. While the former was a heavily emotional film, the treatment here is light and frothy and the emphasis is on creating feel good moments. Here, Abhay Deol, who plays a budding Pakistani politician, helps a runaway bride who has mistakenly escaped to Lahore unite with her lover. In the former film, Salman helped unite a small Pakistani girl, who had strayed in India with her parents. Happy Bhag Jayegi is kind of Bajrangi Bhaijaan in reverse. Quick take : A happy ride that's sure to put a smile on your lips Cast : Diana Penty, Abhay Deol, Jimmy Shergill, Ali Fazal, Momal Sheikh and Javed Sheikh
