No, really.Īnd some are too familiar: Fazal has a thankless part and never lifts off the screen Shergill has some funny lines but he is essentially doing a repeat of his Tanu Weds Manu part. Fazal has a thankless part and never lifts off the screen: imagine being termed a musician and never getting to play or strum or sing. Penty has a wide-eyed appeal and an infectious smile but she is not a good fit for a Punjabi ‘pataka’.

Happy Bhag Jayegi movie review: Diana Penty is no Punjabi pataka despite her infectious smile and appeal.
If you want me to suspend disbelief and buy into your wholly contrived plot, you have to be able to write your way past the contrivances.
But despite its occasional throwaway lines, and nice touches, it never comes together. Fervent Pakistani cop (Piyush Mishra) who loves some things Hindustani (Taj Mahal, Yusuf saab), Bilal’s father (Javed Sheikh) who wants him to join politics, and his beautiful betrothed (Momal Sheikh) who looks askance at this new girl: is the Indian Happy about to sink her hooks into her all-Pakistani Bilal?ĭone well, Happy Bhag Jayegi could have been a rollicking comedy. The film spends a substantial amount of time in Pakistan, and a whole bunch of colourful characters trying out their Urdu. Read: Can Happy Bhag Jayegi hold off Akshay Kumar’s Rustom? There is some of it, but it is far too intermittent. Spirited Amritsar kudi Happy’s (Diana Penty) heart beats for Guddu (Ali Fazal) but the path of true love is strewn with stern fathers (Kanwaljeet), local bad boy rival Bagga (Jimmy Shergill) and an accidental Pakistani gentleman named Bilal Ahmed (Abhay Deol).īut all too soon, the pleasures of the film dwindle, and we are left to fend for ourselves, looking for something that will make us laugh, even if it is weak laughter.
