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!

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.

This happens when a person from dance field makes a movie, she/he would have cool ideas about the songs but no solid glue to compile those songs / song situation into one good story. Last ~15 minutes are truly beautiful and heartwarming, but rest of the movie feels dull. It lacks emotional appeal. For such movies to work, it requires a little bit of melodrama. But this movie runs pretty flat. Performances from main leads of three generations are very good, but story and director is not energetic, appealing and it lacks novelty. Inayat Verma's character is well developed, but despite having potential, Abhishek didn't get enought chance to show his talent in father's role. Most of his screen time is consumed in playing the cliches of lonely gloomy widower. Even a one scene would do the job, in which he cries alone for his daughter's pain and talks with his dead wife. This scene too is a cliche, but it still will be more emotional than a gloomy flat face. In somewhat similar space, "the sky is pink" was much more impactful and moving story.

#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.

It isn't just a movie - it's a radiant burst of sunshine captured on film. It makes profound observations about human happiness while never feeling preachy or saccharine.

Unlike many "feel-good" films that manipulate emotions, "Be Happy" earns every smile and tear through genuine character moments. The happiness depicted here is messy, hard-won, and all the more beautiful for it.

Fans of "The Pursuit of Happyness", "Little Miss Sunshine", or "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty" will find similar magic here, though "Be Happy" carves its own unique emotional path.

Perfect For When You Need:

• A mood boost that feels earned
• Reminders that beauty exists in ordinary moments
• To feel genuinely uplifted without cheap sentimentality.
