Instead of knitting the jokes and funny situation into a story, the film looks like the story has been forced in between the gags, jokes and situations. But the major difference between the two films is the fact that while the charm of Happy Bhaag Jayegi was in its effortlessness, the problem with Happy Phirr Bhaag Jayegi is the fact that it is forced. Even the central character of Happy is almost the replica of the character in the first film. The motives and ends might be different, but this one also involves a lot kidnapping and confusion.
It almost has the same story line like that of the first film with just China as the backdrop instead of Pakistan. The director Muddassar Aziz, who directed the first film as well, has tried to stretch a story beyond its capacity by introducing a few new characters and re-cycling old favorites like Afridi and Daman Singh Bagga. To be honest, it is not a horrible film, it is just a really mediocre and generic one.
Unfortunately this film belongs to the latter category. It is ironic, that Happy Phirr Bhaag Jayegi that attempts to ride on the popularity of the first instalment might actually be the one to tank at the box-office.Ĭomedy of errors involving mistaken identity in a foreign land can either be a classic or cliché. However, the film managed to win the hearts of both audiences and critic and turned out to be a sleeper hit owing to its effortless and sharp comedy. Review Happy Phirr Bhag Jayegi & earn 20 DM Points.* Review Submitīack in 2016, when a small film starring Diana Penty, Ali Fazal, Abhay Deol and Jimmy Shergill released at the box-office, most people thought this would be one of those generic small budget comedy films that will sink at the box-office without anyone even noticing.
