Also starring Shobana, the suspense family drama helmed by Tharun Moorthy, the trailer definitely left us intrigued, even if not entirely convinced. It seems to be diving into a layered mystery, promising a suspenseful ride that might not disappoint!

Interestingly, the 1-minute 57-second trailer of Thudarum blends a very mysterious Lucifer meets Drishyam world. Mohanlal plays a driver who has never gone to school and is happy in his family, but there is more than what meets the eye about this cab driver.

Netflix is all set for a brilliant thriller titled Test.

Hold your breath, and make sure your tissues are handy because Akshay Kumar is set to deliver one of the most heart-wrenching tales in the history of Bollywood. Dharma Productions has unveiled the official teaser of Kesari Chapter 2, and it is unbelievably impactful. Scroll below for more details!

It’s probably the first time that as many as 30 seconds of a teaser showcase only a black screen. But it’s one of the boldest and most powerful moves by Karan Singh Tyagi and his team. Within the first few seconds, the promo hooked us with powerful dialogues, sending us on a rollercoaster ride filled with emotions.

Kesari Chapter 2 takes us back to 1919, when the Jallianwala Bagh Massacre took place. The heart-wrenching visuals left us teary-eyed, similar to how Kesari (2019) left us sobbing with its tale about the Battle of Saragarhi.

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.

This is a sensitive true-life drama that is in keeping with John Abraham’s image of the lone ranger.
