Happy (2006)

Just perfect...

Excellent but underrated film

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Story - Story is somewhat similar to Maniratnam's classic "Mounaragam". In the sense, both movies are based on the point that when you got to spend some nice time with a person, whom you actually hate, you'll fall in love with him/her. Just some romantic moments are needed. While "Mounaraagam" goes on a serious note and has a subplot (Karthik- Revathy story), this goes on lighter note without any subplots.Performances - Allu Arjun is adequate in his role. He does go overboard many times, but still he is decent on a whole. Genelia is superb. She got a role which demands lot of emotions and Genelia comes out with flying colors. Manoj Bajpai is good in his little cameo. Kishore as the revenge seeking police officer is nice. Deepak Shirke is fine as heroine's father. Tanikella Bharani, Brahmandam and hero's friends gang acted well.Story-Screenplay-Direction - Story is nice though it slightly resembles "Mounaraagam". Screenplay is what made the difference. It is very gripping. Direction is superb except for the last scene. Karunakaran's strengths have always been cute romantic scenes, sweet nothings, nice montages and light heartedness and he sticks to his strengths even in this film and the output is just superb.Music & Background Score - Music by Yuvan Shankar Raja is okay. "Egire Mabbulalona" is fantastic. All other songs are just about okay. But he covers it up with excellent background score. He takes the film to a whole new level with his exceptional background score. This is easily one of his best works in scoring department.Others - Cinematography is nice. Editing is fine. Dialogues are nice.Finally this is a nice romantic comedy you'd definitely love to watch. The plus points of this film are lighter vein nature, background score, Genelia's performance and feel good moments. This is a film that oozes positivity. Minus point is bad climax. If you could excuse the climax, you can enjoy this clean entertainer.

Beautiful plot that unites Bunny and Madhu who hated each other at first. Their acting is really superb - Arjun's carefree and funny style and Madhu's sweetness and cute fits of anger. I fell in love with the couple, they seem like 2 children being together. And it looks like their love conquered even Madhu's merciless father.The songs and dances were fascinating and lively, I didn't want them to end. Both Madhu's and Bunny's friends were entertaining. Not to mention Brahmanandam with a once again silly but well-acted role, I never get tired of seeing him.Also, I liked the role of the DCP Arvind who was very innocent but strong, and used his authority to unite his 2 "beautiful roses". 10/10 for this one

This movie bases itself on the tender love relationship between the hero and the heroine.Allu arjun comes to Hyderabad and starts working in pizza hut.He meets Genelia in a comic episode and then finally there is a confusion regarding a love letter which allows them to come closer to each h other. Genelia's father is a very popular politician who has rivalries as usual with quite a few people,major one being the new S.I. who comes to town.There is sequence which leads to incidents wherein the S.I. seeks revenge for the mistreatment meted out to him by the politician. The technical values of the movie are maintained very well as usual by the very talented Karunakaran. The songs are very very well shot and are simply a visual treat. The comedy part and the love relationship between the male and the female protagonists are depicted superbly.The mood of the movie changes from a very light hearted first half to a very sinister second half,wherein the hero constantly keeps facing newer and newer troubles.Manoj Bajpai acts in a very different role- to say a very comic one, which is quite different from his usual style and the director has excelled in getting good performance from this talented actor too,breaking all the language barriers if any. Go for the movie if are an ardent fan of any of the stars or even otherwise you will simply love it for the comedy and the songs.

Wow! That is not even enough to explain this terrific movie. The action of Allu Arjun was superb and his jokes were very hilarious. Genelia was very glamorous throughout the movie. Manoj Bajpai's role was humorous. I don't know if it was camera magic or what because both of them combined made such a cute couple. Indiaglitz (www.indiaglitz.com)called the movie "The combination of enjoyable fun, good music and easy emotions". Well I loved this movie a lot (not just because I am Allu Arjun's fan but the script, action, and the actors were just tremendous) and I hope you will love it as much as I did! So, go watch Happy as soon as possible!
