Reception
Be Happy received generally mixed reviews from critics. [14]
For The Indian Express , Shubhra Gupta gave the film 1.5 stars out of 5 and commented that "Abhishek Bachchan, who did such a solid job being a dad-to-a-daughter in I Want To Talk, comes off more stolid in Be Happy, essentially because the plot is more in service to the dancing and the competing than to showing us the lives these characters live.". [15] Sukanya Verma of Rediff.com gave the film 2.5 out of 5 and observed that "Ultimately, it is Abhishek's restraint that controls Be Happy's urges to go overboard even as Inayat's charms threaten to do its exact opposite". [16] Tamma Moksha of The Hindu said that "In typical Remo D’Souza fashion, it is dance, dance performances, and a Ganesha dance number that seem to present the solution to the tribulations of life — while there is nothing wrong with the creative decision, it leaves the audience wanting more". [17]
Rahul Desai of The Hollywood Reporter India said that "Remo D’Souza dad-daughter-dance triangle is a dull bubblegum movie." [18] A critic from Bollywood Hungama gave 3 stars out of 5 and said that "On the whole, BE HAPPY works due to the performances of Abhishek A Bachchan and Inayat Verma and the strong emotional moments in the second half." [19] Lachmi Deb Roy of Firstpost writes "Abishek Bhachchan and Inayat Verma’s impressive performance will steal your heart in an emotional yet flawed film. Watch the film for the beautiful choreography, the songs and the brilliant performances except for Nora Fatehi." [20]
Hardika Gupta of NDTV gave 1.5 stars out of 5 and said that "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." [21] Dhaval Roy of The Times of India gave 3 stars out of 5 and said that "Be Happy 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." [22]
