Happy Bhag Jayegi - Movie Reviews

Desperate comedy
Mid-Day
I’m going with three out of five
Rajeev Masand
An India-Pakistan encounter that does not involve terrorists or silly politicians or bad-mouthing 'them'? Never thought it was possible. But writer-director Mudassar Aziz manages that and offers us a funny story on a runaway bride, harried cops, silly cops, ambitious fathers, arranged marriages, and so much more... Mostly predictable, but delightful nonetheless.

If Happy Bhag Jayegi succeeds in delivering a few laughs, it's entirely to the credit of the actors
REDIFF
Happy Bhag Jayegi isn't the kind of film that will have audiences rolling in the aisles. But it might occasionally induce faint smiles on some faces.
NDTV
Diana Penty, Abhay Deol film begins well but soon the laughs are few and far between. A weak script fails this film and its cast.

Happy Bhag Jayegi’s flaws are frustrating
The National
Sadness offered from the run-of-the-mill ROM com does run away but afsoos (Alas) it also takes away the potential source of a ROM com with a different force
Glam Sham
Overall, it is a feel-good, light-hearted comedy which will make one laugh and giggle till the movie ends.

In Mudassar Aziz’s winning movie, a reluctant bride elopes on her wedding night and lands up in Pakistan.

The music of Happy Bhag Jayegi may not be extraordinary but then it doesn't have any element either that would make you look the other way

The humour in this film is understated – no crass jokes, no obscenity, nothing offensive. ‘Happy Bhag Jayegi’ is not flawless, but this film left me with a big smile.

On the whole, HAPPY BHAG JAYEGI comes across as a feel good film that will make you happy. At the Box-Office, its prospects will be rewarding for its makers.

Diana Penty and Abhay Deol's film is an inoffensive entertainer
India Today
Its intended humour just fails
Deccan Chromicle
It'€™s particularly annoying that most films that create these colourful, crazy women neatly slip them back into boring old roles by making men their saviours
First Post
li Fazal gets a great platform to establish himself as an actor here and is promising. From the supporting cast, Piyush Mishra, essaying a sceptical cop is a fun addition and the Hindi interpretations of his Urdu words are hilarious — 'mausiqi' is taken to be an expletive involving a 'mausi'.
Mumbai Mirror
Happy Bhag Jayegi' is clean family entertainer but could have been exemplary!
Meri News
Avoidable, undercooked comedy
The Statesman
Overall, “Happy Bhag Jayegi” is a feel-good, light-hearted drama that does not need to be taken seriously.

The whole idea of the film seems far-fetched initially, but the build-up to the climax washes all our doubts away.

Happy Bhag Jayegi is a good-hearted comedy with all the ingredients well mixed, and the actors are too good.

Mudassar Aziz perfectly mixed all the ingredients required for '€œHappy'€ to be '€œHappy'€
Cinema Glitz
‘Happy Bhag Jayegi’, just like its female lead, is likeable without being memorable, mainly due to a weak third act and under-confident direction. Yet, it delivers enough laughs to justify a viewing.

€œHappy Bhag Jayegi'€ is a mildly funny comedy that doesn'€™t try too hard to push the boundaries, but does enough to entertain you
Reuters India
Predictability runs all through the plot. The second half typically gets all the lead characters in one place and thus begins the chaos. It could have been more tightly written since, multiple sub-plots kill all the fun.

Diana Penty brims with potential; film is funny, but forgettable
First Post
Happy Bhag Jayegi is a good fictional attempt at highlighting the brighter side of India-Pakistan relations under waggish circumstances. Contradicting to its genre (Comedy), the film falls flat on audiences.

The audio of Happy Bhag Jayegi is a mix bag with two numbers that hold attention
