Be Happy

Movie : Be Happy Streaming : Amazon Prime Rate : 8/10

#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.

Abhishek Bachchan has never been praised for his acting capabilities but I feel he deserves love and appreciation as he has the ability to dive deep into the character. I'm sure he is a real loving father and his love for his child is displayed in his character for movies like LUDO, I WANT TO TALK and this movie too.

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. Daughter's will always have a close bond with then father and the emotional turmoil they both good through is really hard to understand. Please watch this wonderful movie.

Very good family watch movie.

Every one should watch this movie.its totally different from masala movie like puspha..

Remo D'Souza's Be Happy works considerably better than expected, largely thanks to Abhishek Bachchan's genuinely understated and impressive performance as Shiv, a single father navigating his daughter's dance ambitions. The story of a banker torn between practical concerns and his child's dreams feels authentic rather than manufactured.

Abhishek brings quiet authority and emotional depth to the role, avoiding the theatrical pitfalls that often plague Bollywood father figures. His restraint makes the character's journey genuinely moving.

Inayat Verma as daughter Dhara is talented and engaging, though her confidence occasionally tips into overconfidence, which undermines the emotional vulnerability needed for the third act's deeper moments. A touch more subtlety could have created stronger audience connection.

The film's biggest missed opportunity lies in its Ooty setting. Rather than showcasing the hill station's distinct beauty as a contrast to Mumbai's chaos, D'Souza treats it like any generic location. The cinematography fails to capture Ooty's unique charm, wasting a natural advantage.

Nora Fatehi's dance teacher role feels severely underwritten, and her performance lacks conviction, making her character feel like an afterthought rather than the crucial mentor figure the story requires.

Despite these issues, Be Happy succeeds through its core father-daughter relationship and Abhishek's committed performance.

Rating: 7.5/10 (Abhishek's nuanced work lifts a dance drama that could've been much more visually distinctive)

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!
