#review : It would be a disservice, perhaps even a crime to still label Abhishek Bachchan a "nepo kid". His acting has reached a level that deserves recognition. It doubts linger, I urge you to watch few of his performances such as Ludo, Breathe: into the shadows etc. With every role, he seems to grow wiser and more refined - age truely is adding layers to his crafts.

Now coming to the movie, directed by Remo D'souza and produced by Lizelle Remo D'souza.

So, the story was quite familiar. But the acting of both Abhishek and Inayat Verma was phenomenal. The chemistry they delivered was so powerful. I was so drawn in.

Please wait till the second half of the movie - it takes everything to the next level.

The ganesh song was so energetic while the papa song touched my heart deeply.

This movie is not just about the story- it's a combination of extraordinary dancers, music, performances and the emotion that stays with you.

As a parent you'll find it hard to look at your child without admiring that silly behavior or constant charm. Our children are - after all - a driving purpose & remo D'Souzas"be happy" has no limit to those little reminders of why. Starring abhishek bachan , nora fatehi and inayat verma. This family oriented drama will have you smiling for hours and at the end it will make you cry.abhishek has done a well job..he is born to play characters of fathers...we can feel the pain of a father through his eyes..nora fatehi was surprisingly good..her dance is excellent as always but her acting was very nice.inayat portrays in her character is a child prodigy - something I'm sure we all see in our sons & daughters, regardless of where they stand. The plot-line here was surprisingly soft and presented host of lessons that highlighted the importance of a trusting dreams of your child; It's a title every father must see and every mother should feel encouraged by. Where there's love and happiness, there's life!

This movie goes a long way in providing new perspective on father daughter relationship in today's age, where family don't have time to talk to each other forget discussing dreams. Parents plan something for their children and children never have clarity on what they want except mobile. They dream today's world through mobile, not based on reality or inner calling. This movie takes us back to an era of giving importance to family before anything. Acting is good, and dialogue are excellent and to the point. It's good family movie and has message of entire family. Sometimes it is a bit emotional but that is something about originality and purity of father daughter relationship.

Be Happy is a beautiful emotional rollercoaster that surprises you just when you think you have it all figured out. What starts off as a feel-good, lighthearted story gradually pulls you deeper, keeping you wondering"Where's the twist?" And then bam it hits you like a truck, leaving you completely absorbed in the unfolding drama.

The performances are truly commendable, with Abhishek and Inayat delivering top-notch acting that brings the emotional core of the film to life. Their chemistry and depth on screen make you feel every high and low of the narrative.

Given that the film revolves around dance, the choreography had a lot riding on it. While there were two major sequences that stood out brilliantly, it felt like the rest of the performances didn't receive the same level of attention or finesse. A bit more effort in choreographing the supporting dance pieces could have elevated the overall impact.

That said, Be Happy carries a deeper emotional message that lingers long after the credits roll. It's not just a story about dance or dreams it's a story about relationships, love, and emotional strength. Every father should watch this film with his daughter and try not to cry because chances are, he won't succeed.

All in all, Be Happy does a fantastic job of blending emotion, story, and performance leaving you with a film that's both heartwarming and thought-provoking.

I love Bollywood because it evokes emotions in me despite being a foreigner. Almost all mainstream movies that were released after covid lack soul, exception being 12th Fail, Laapata Ladies etc... This movie made me cry, I cared about the characters which rarely happens with recent Hindi movies. The child actor was brilliant, Abhishek was great and the rest of the cast were good as well. Even Though Norah's accent was visible even to me who barely speak Hindi, learning from watching too many Bollywood movies. The story had its flaws, but after watching so many senseless Bollywood movies these past few years like Pathaan or Fighter or Loveyappa (lol don't judge, wanted to see how Amir Khan ka bheta would do in movies and don't let me begin with Nadaniyaan) it was closest to the Bollywood my millennial ass could relate to. Overall I wanted to pass time and watch something with my dinner and being an Abhishek fan I decided on this and I didn't regret it.
