Be Happy Movie Review by MD Ekram Parvez
Rating: 3.5/5
“Be Happy,” directed by Remo D’Souza, is a heartwarming dance drama that beautifully captures the emotional journey of a single father and his talented daughter. The film is a rollercoaster of emotions, blending heartfelt performances with captivating dance sequences that leave a lasting impression.
The narrative revolves around Shiv Rastogi, played by Abhishek Bachchan, a protective father who struggles to support his daughter Dhara’s dream of becoming a dancer. Inayat Verma delivers a standout performance as Dhara, showcasing her passion and determination with grace and charm. The father-daughter bond is the heart of the film, with their emotional interactions driving the story forward.
The film’s strength lies in its emotional depth and the authentic portrayal of the father-daughter relationship. However, the pacing is slow at times, and the predictable narrative hinders its overall appeal. Despite these drawbacks, the performances and dance sequences make “Be Happy” a worthwhile watch, especially for those who appreciate emotional dramas and dance films.
Top Reviews From Other Critics
The Times of India
Rating: 2.5/5
“Be Happy is a wholesome, feel-good film perfect for family viewing. Inayat Verma effortlessly delivers a charming and perceptive performance, and slays the stage with her dance moves. Nasser is a scene-stealer as Dhara’s lively, flirtatious grandfather.”
India Today
Rating: 2/5
“Be Happy is a film that feels more concerned with its commercial viability than with exploring the depths of its characters. While it may leave some viewers with a smile by the end, it does so less because of its emotional payoff and more because it has simply run its course.”
The Indian Express
Rating: 1.5/5
“Abhishek Bachchan, who did such a solid job being a dad-to-a-daughter in ‘I Want To Talk,’ comes off more stolid in Be Happy, essentially because the plot is more in service to the dancing and the competing than to showing us the lives these characters live.”
Hindustan Times
Rating: 3/5
“Be Happy is a dance-drama film that follows a single father and his witty, wise-beyond-her-years daughter. When his daughter’s dream of performing in the country’s biggest dance reality show collides with a life-altering crisis, the father is driven to do the unthinkable, showcasing the extraordinary lengths he will go to fulfill her wishes and find happiness.”

“Ultimately, it is Abhishek’s restraint that controls Be Happy’s urges to go overboard even as Inayat’s charms threaten to do its exact opposite.”
