Housefull 5 Music Review: Where’s The Music In This Akshay Kumar Film? (Photo Credit – YouTube)

Once upon a time, there was a music industry in Bollywood that made us survive in all our moods! If you are Dukhi, you switched to a whole lot of Dard Bhare Nagme, right from Jaane Kahan Gaye Wo Din to Oye Raju Pyar Na Kariyo! While this range varied in romance and classical folk, it was the party anthems that witnessed the major makeover, right from Aapka Kya Hoga Janaab E Ali to Anarkali Disco Chali! But whatever Housefull 5 has offered in the name of a music album, with party anthems as its mains, I am still in the process of figuring that out!

No doubt, the film is earning at the box office despite criticism, but I am here to solely discuss this comedy thriller’s musical attributes! The music album...

Metro…In Dino Zamaana Lage Song Review: It Is Bittersweet! (Photo Credit – YouTube)

In the last few years, whenever I have lost hope in Bollywood and its music, some names have helped me restore my faith in it, Imtiaz Ali and Anurag Basu films clearly top the list. I clearly remember Basu Dada doing all of us a favor by gifting us some brilliant music album by Pritam during the Covid Era with Ludo’s album, and now he is making me accept some more gems with his upcoming film Metro…In Dino.

The first song from the film is out and it is titled Zamaana Lage! While it clearly does not make sense as a title, I have a bitter sweet feeling hearing the track as well! I happy yet sad listening to some of my favorite lines being presented as a fusion and extension and a cover version!

Akshay Kumar and his lunatic style are back with Housefull 5. Along with him, there is a bunch of stars, and all of them seem to go rogue in the first song of the comedy film.

Laal Pari is loud, colorful, and undeniably energetic, ticking all the boxes for a massy dance track. However, while the...

Be Happy Ott Verdict: Abhishek Bachchan Film Fares Better Than The Mehta Boys! (Photo Credit – Instagram)

This year, Prime Video delivered two original films on the relationship of a father and his child. While Be Happy starred Abhishek Bachchan and Inayat Verma and arrived on the platform on March 14, the other film was Boman Irani’s directorial debut, The Mehta Boys, starring him and Avinash Tiwary.

Interestingly, Abhishek Bachchan’s film, directed by Remo D’Souza, opened better in its debut week despite mixed responses compared to Boman Irani’s film, which earned rave reviews.

Be Happy Ott Verdict

While the film received a mixed response from the audiences, it managed to garner 2.1 million views in its debut week, taking the tenth spot in the list of most-watched streaming originals in India for the week of March 10-16, 2025, estimated based on audience research by Ormax.

Trending Nadaaniyan Ott Verdict (Week 2):...

Be Happy, directed by Remo D’Souza, revolves around the life of a bank employee named Shiv Rastogi and the relationship he shares with his daughter, Dhara. The premise of a single father bringing up his child after her mother’s death, understanding her sensibilities, and making sure she understands life for what it is, held a lot of promise, but the makers were not able to capitalize on it. The film lacked emotional depth, because of which the narrative never really accentuated the performances of the characters. Abhishek Bachchan and Inayat Verma were fabulous in their respective roles, but you can create only a limited impact if you are not backed by a strong script. Yes, the director and his team of writers have tried to put together certain gut-wrenching sequences, but it was never enough since it seemed superficial. That said, the film is not unwatchable, but when you...

Be Happy

Director: Remo D’Souza

Starring: Amitabh Bachchan, Nora Fatehi, Abhishek Bachchan, Johny Lever

As expected, Remo D’Souza’s new film erroneously entitled Be Happy has a lot to do with dancing . One would have expected Remo to move forward since Abcd (to perhaps Efgh?) . But Be Happy remains rigidly rooted to an elementary school of thought. The writing, though benign, is facile and innocuously manipulative.

Putting a beautiful expressive talented motherless little dancer at the centre of the plot, and then thrusting a fatal illness on her, is exploitative enough. Hitting for the tear duct over and over again becomes a bit of an exercise in futility when it is done inorganically.

The element of artifice creeps in uncomfortably at moments when we are meant to be most emotionally moved. The film doesn’t lack emotions. But their sincerity seems ceaselessly suspect. Abhishek Bachchan, who did the father-daughter act in his last film,...

With “Be Happy” (2025), Remo D’Souza continues on an overconfident spree of churning out dance videos in the guise of cinematic tripe. The title itself is abundantly indicative of the sheer excruciating stupidity filling every seam of this film. Once again, we get the tussle of reaching for dreams immanent to a passion for the arts. This is done through an entirely ineffective father-daughter story, where Abhishek Bachchan and Inayat Verma are tasked with taking us on a wrenching journey. Of course, a terminal illness track gets interposed, to cover up the massive flaws, the absolute slog the film regularly settles into.

The film opens at a picturesque estate in Ooty. It’s been eight years since Shiv (Bachchan) lost his wife in an accident. He lives with his daughter, Dhara (Verma), and his father-in-law (Nassar). Dhara’s passion for dancing is immediate, buoyant and all-encompassing. Shiv, however, isn’t quite...

Abhishek Bachchan is all set to impress the audiences with another heartwarming film titled Be Happy. Helmed by Remo D’Souza, the film outlines the relationship of a father and daughter and how they come close through music and dance. The music album of this emotional drama is already out, and to be honest, this one is a mixed bag.

The album has 12 tracks, and it is after so long that a film is arriving with so many good musical notes. Composed by Harsh Upadhyay, the 12 tracks seem to hint at a very good musical drama. However, the songs might not work in their entirety when you listen to them without context.

Will John Abraham’s diplomatic act perk the box-office? It looks like Abraham, who was last seen in Vedaa seven months ago, finally has a winner on his hand. Preview audiences have come out substantially impressed by the film’s determined bid to be mass-friendly and yet non-conformist.

A taut, time-bound rollercoaster ride about a real-life Indian diplomat tackling a sensitive illegal migrant’s situation from Pakistan, The Diplomat has no leading lady for John. Given the taut situation, there is no time for love. John has always been liked in loner’s roles. The main female character in The Diplomat is a woman seeking asylum in our country.

10 Iconic Dance Numbers in the Millennium ( Photo Credit – YouTube )

Hindi Film Music has witnessed paradigm changes in the Millennium. Songs are now promo tools and barely situational, and lip-sync numbers predominantly dance songs. On International Dance Day (April 29), I choose the 10 truly magnificent dance numbers that will always live on. And yes, I have not included Naacho Naacho from Rrr as it was technically not a Hindi movie!

Budtameez Dil / Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani

Ranbir Kapoor outdid himself in this song, reviving memories of his father, Rishi Kapoor’s mastery of dance! The musical was enriched immeasurably by this by Benny Dayal-Shefali Alvares song, composed by Pritam with delightfully crazy lyrics (Paan mein pudina dekha) by Amitabh Bhattacharya. And if you thought the dance had a hint of Michael Jackson, please remember that legend was its choreographer Remo D’Souza’s idol.
