Keeping it real is where it's at, for those who're paying attention.
Not sure how much of a hand he had in it, but Aanand Rai more than makes up, IMHO, for the disappointing ending that I thought he d saddled TwM2 with, with a whopper of a choice towards the end in this one. unfortunately, that was the only number that stood out, though the background score sounded better-than-average. 'Zara si Dosti' was my pick among the numbers, especially due to its heartfelt lyrics. Not sure there has been something like this in the recent past. Special mention must be made of Jimmy Sheirgill, who embraces his now-created-yet-thankless-type, from TwM1 and 2, and makes it his own, and still comes up with a fantastic performance (following his understated/underrated/under-appreciated work in 'Madaari' earlier this year) that is quite memorable, at least to those who look for finer nuances in similar characterizations, portrayed by the same actors. he just disappears into his role, taking a character no one can root for, and makes us, yes, root for him (observe the para(n)tha sequence). And I somehow feel that Ali Fazal's performance is gonna be overlooked, but kudos both to the casting, his characterization (courtesy both the writing and the execution) and his amazingly subtle/understated performance. All supporting characters are fantastic, but special mention must be made of Javed Shaikh, Kanwaljit Singh (Buniyaad, Satte pe Satta, Rustom), Ayesha Raza, Piyush Mishra (who takes a cliché-ed role, and makes it his own, evoking the most guffaws all thru the flick - he's never been better, and I'd love to see him chew scenery the way he did in this one), the always-genial-and-can-turn-menacing-inamoment Manoj Bakshi. Little things stood out, like the consistent refrain that one character's parent has to say all thru, and the way it loops back when another character says it, was simply too good to behold, and definitely is one of the best examples of how the writing paid attention to what is otherwise discarded as a detail too small to pay attention to. The importance it attaches to who we think of as secondary characters (Ali Fazal and Momal Shaikh, the lady who plays Abhay Deol's fiancée) is refreshing, especially from a mainstream trope standpoint. However, it has to be said that the climax/resolution is something that, quite possibly, will be considered out of place for a mainstream flick. SPOILER-Alert on those 3: 1 has something to do with a para(n)tha, the 2nd has to do with Madhubala (non-comic, subtle dramatics for those paying attn) and the 3rd one has something to do with aadhey-idhar-jaao-aadhey-udhar- jaao (to the uninitiated, that immortal Asrani sequence from 'Sholay'). Well, overall, for me, this one was a pleasant surprise, and there are 3 absolutely-fantastic (purely contextual) sequences that are worth the price of your tickets, in spite of the other cliché-ridden plot points / plot turns.
#Happy bhag jayegi songs movie
Penty was alright in 'Cocktail', but her comeback thru this was kinda muted, and the trailers also did not do any justice to what the movie was gonna be about. I was a little nervous going in, having reduced my expectations only to Abhay Deol's return after a hiatus of sorts. Eros International acquired the worldwide distribution rights for the production, which runs for 126 minutes in its final cut.Perhaps one of the best-written, and packaged comedies in recent times, this one, for me, might actually be slightly better than the producer's previous comedies, Tanu weds Manu (TwM) 1 and 2. The music for Happy Bhag Jayegi was composed by Sohail Sen and released under the label of Eros Music. The film featured Pakistani actors and is Sheikh’s Bollywood debut. Although a large part of the film is set in Lahore, the film was primarily shot in Chandigarh and Amritsar with Saurabh Goswami working as the director of photography. Happy Bhag Jayegi was conceived as a “cross-border” romantic comedy and was originally titled Dolly Lahore Mein. The production features an ensemble cast consisting of Penty, Abhay Deol, Jimmy Sheirgill, Ali Fazal, and Momal Sheikh.Īziz began writing for the film in 2012 and later approached Rai to produce it. It stars Diana Penty as the eponymous character a free-spirited bride-to-be from Amritsar who runs away from her wedding ceremony and inadvertently arrives in Lahore, Pakistan. Happy Bhag Jayegi (lit. Happy Will Run Away) is a 2016 Indian, Hindi-language, romantic comedy film that was written and directed by Mudassar Aziz, and produced by Aanand L.
