Happy Ending

Can't believe this film has only 5.7 rating on IMDb and 33% on Rotten Tomatoes. It's such a good film. In this film the character of Saif is a writer and he's trying to write a romantic comedy, the film is exactly what he's writing - a making of Rom - Com, also it's a spoof comedy. Like all the other films of Raj & DK it's also fully entertaining.

After Dil Chahta Hai I think this is the best performance of Saif in a comic role. Ranvir Shorey has some of the best lines in the film. And above all Govinda in special appearance is the cherry on the cake. In every Raj & DK project Sachin - Jigar always create some music which stay with us.

Though it's more Comedy and less romance it's A Perfect Rom-Com for me.

Happy Ending was a complete surprise with engaging script , hilarious moments and nice songs.

A struggling author gets a chance to write "kick-ass" script for an ageing actor who himself is planning to re-invent.

From the director of entertainments like 99, Shor In The City and Go Goa Gone, Krishna D.K., Raj Nidimoru gives you another wonderful story after a long time on Indian Screen. The theme is niche and will be acid test for them if it will be accepted by Indian audience. The film starts off very will with Saif Ali Khan, Ranvir Shorey and Govinda tickling your funny bone. Directors do not waste much time and gets into crux of the plot. Till interval , you will be engaged and entertained but the second half becomes little monotonous and climax scene could have better executed. Krishna D.K. and Raj Nidimoru are getting better with each film and this one is no exception. Screenplay is tight but loses the steam later. Art direction and cinematography is awesome. Dialogues are funny. Music by Sachin-Jigar is foot-tapping with"G Phaadke" being pick-up from the lot. Performance Ranvir SHorey, Govinda and Saif Ali Khan is note worthy. They are amazing and will make sure to entertain you. Illeana overacts and Kalki does justice to her part.

Overall , Happy Ending is a feel-good rom-com attempted by the director duo and probably witnessed on Indian Screen after a long time and thumbs-up to the makers for trying out something new. Good 3/5

Direction by Director duo Mr. Raj and Mr. Krishna, is good. There is nothing in the name of story written by director themselves. Yes love stories have rarely something new to offer but this one has literally nothing. Dialogues by Hussain Dalal are witty. Screenplay is OK. Few scenes are quite good and innovative. Like, the scene when both lead ask for lift on roadside is routine but the way they have improvised and presented made it fresh and innovative. The bed scene in hotel started with common note of extra room not available type of lame excuse but then ended with a very fresh and entertaining way. The restaurant scene started with a common way but ended on a cute note of both had poured water on each other. Screenplay is actually in bits and pieces. Sometimes you enjoy the movie but then it bores you too mostly. This boredom comes due to absence of story too. Interval is just because they had to divide the film in two part otherwise it was not required at all. The filmy stardom satire through Govinda's character was not so apt. Performance wise Saif Ali Khan is perfect in his comfort zone. Ileana D Cruz is fine. Kalki is a good actress but nothing was her to perform then also she is good. Govinda and Ranvir Shorey are OK. Music by Sachin Jiagar is good. " Pajji tussi such a pussy cat" is foot tapping and "Jaise Mera Tu" is melodious.

After the dull Go Goa Gone, Writer-Director Duo Raj Nidimoru & Krishna D. K, churn out a rather predictable film with 'Happy Ending. The Storytelling, The Treatment & The Exeuction, offer no novelty at all. A Been-There-Seen-That Rom-Com!

'Happy Ending' Synopsis: A once-successful author finds his life on the edge, until a fellow-writer inspires him to write again.

'Happy Ending' lacks the wit & energy, besides it being shamelessly predictable. The central protagonists portrayed by Saif Ali Khan & Ileana D'Cruz (both looking tired & bored) aren't romantics by nature & that's the prime reason why the on-screen chemistry between the two doesn't work.

But not all's bad in here, 'Happy Ending' redeems itself to some extend, by giving us some deliciously entertaining supporting characters. Govinda, as a fading film star, hits all the right notes, despite being reduced into a brief cameo. Ranvir Shorey, as Saif's best-friend, who's petrified of his wife, brings the house down. He's hilarious! Kalki Koechlin, as Saif's stalker girlfriend, however, steals the show with a terrific performance. Her scenes are the high-point of the enterprise. Sadly, there isn't much of her!

On the whole, 'Happy Ending' is a letdown.

After GO GOA GONE, the director duo - Raj & DK is one of my favorites. Their films have everything that the youth can enjoy - ROMANCE, COMEDY, NAUTANKI, EMOTIONAL DIALOGUE, SUPERB SOUNDTRACK, EXTRAORDINARY LOCATIONS, DOUBLE MEANING JOKES & LOL/ROFL MOMENTS. This film is better than the previous that I don't know, but, it's surely enjoyable with LOL. Saif Ali Khan is perfectly suitable for these kind of roles. His long hair, his shorts, designed T shirt, cool sun glasses & macho body. Ileana D'Cruz looks sexy in some dresses. But allover looks okay but acts well. Kalki is unbearable for some of the boys in the audience. She has a small role. Kareena & Priety have a special guest appearance. While I liked the role of Priety. Ranveer Shaurey is damn funny as always. But the main reasons to LOL in H.E. is Govinda. He is too funny. Me & my friend could not be able to control ourselves while laughing out loudly. Sachin-Jigar has given a marvelous soundtrack. ALL the songs are catchy. Dialogues by Hussain Dalal are fine. But, it could be better than these. Screenplay is good as well. Some portions has to be little bit faster than the actual. Raj & DK's direction in their second film is outstanding. Some scenes may able to open your eyes as well as mouth saying Wow. Locations are of to mark. Salute to the DOP. On the whole, who loved Go Goa Gone, just go for it. Those who didn't like GGG, just watch Dabang2 type movies. I don't know about any other RJ or critic's ratings, but, as per my enjoyments, I am giving 8*/10*.
