Durgesh Tiwary’s View: When I watched the trailer of this film planned to watch this movie on its premiere day as loved the trailer and liked previous dance movies of director. A single father and his gifted daughter embark on an inspiring journey to chase their dream of performing on the nation’s most prestigious dance reality show.

Be Happy captures the tender bond between a father and daughter, set against the vibrant world of dance. While the storyline is predictable and offers little novelty, its emotional depth and endearing moments make it engage. The film thrives on the heartwarming relationship between Dhara and Shiv, which evolves from playful banter in the first half to heartfelt emotion in the second. Adding to the charm is Dhara’s grandfather, Mr. Nadar who teams up with her against Shiv, making for delightful exchanges. One of the film’s highlights is watching Shiv transform from an awkward, serious father into Dhara’s dance partner, standing by her unwaveringly. The emotions in these moments are beautifully expressed through dance. Dance and Music form the backbone of the film. The dance sequences are dynamic and infused with emotion, while the music strikes a balance between catchy and soulful, perfectly complementing the narrative. Inayat Verma steals the spotlight with her outstanding performance as Dhara. Her expressions and dance moves are mesmerizing, making her the film’s driving force. Abhishek Bachchan, Nassar & Nora Fatehi also excels.

The film’s reliance on melodrama and a predictable formula detracts from its potential to offer a fresh perspective on the father-daughter dynamic or the pursuit of dreams. It struggles to balance its heavy reliance on cliches with its aspirations to offer something new. The film, while not devoid of charm, ultimately falters under the weight of its ambitions, unable to deliver the emotional depth or impactful moments it clearly aims for. The first half is slow, and at over three hours, the film feels lengthy. Johnny Lever’s role feels unnecessary and adds little value to the film. Remo D’Souza presents a heartfelt father-daughter story with dance at its core. However, the lack of an engaging screenplay weakens the film’s impact. The film ends a bit abruptly and one wishes the makers had informed viewers what happened to the characters. Lastly, the recital of a poem during the end credits gives a very heavy feeling and it doesn’t go well with the otherwise uplifting finale.

Overall, movie is a slow, yet watchable dance drama driven by the heartfelt performances. It is a wholesome, feel-good film perfect for family viewing. Be prepared to shed a few tears at the climax and experience a true rainbow of emotions as Dhara describes being on stage. It portrays the tender father-daughter bond in a relatable and heartwarming way to appeal to audiences of all ages. My view on this movie Time Pass.
