Despite being a one-time watch, Happy Bhag Jayegi gets saved because of Piyush Mishra's impeccable Urdu, jokes drawn at the cost of Indo-Pak relations, an honest performance by Jimmy Shergill and a soothing background score. There is an obvious love triangle as Bilal hopelessly starts liking Happy but his fiancee (Momal Sheikh) manages to win her man in the end. Penty's role could have been meatier but it is at the least noticeable. The first half does have some good dialogues owing to Jimmy Sheirgill's consistent acting and Piyush Sharma's comic timing but the second half totally falls flat as the story starts getting sluggish.

Had Aziz's writing been slightly substantial then Happy Bhag Jayegi could have been less banal and predictable. Bilal then helps in re-uniting Guddu and Happy and Bagga acts a villain in the love story. That's when Happy shows her 'Geet' like colours just like Kareena Kapoor did in Jab We Met and convinces Bilal to do the otherwise. Already caught amidst an emotional struggle, Bilal suddenly finds Happy at his home and after the tale is told, Bilal plans for deporting Happy. On the other hand, Bilal Ahmed is an admirable gentleman whose dreams of becoming a cricketer are overshadowed with those of his father (Javed Sheikh) who wants him to 'change the history of Pakistan' by becoming a politician.

The catch is just that a comedy of error occurs and Happy elopes in a wrong truck which takes her to Lahore from Amritsar along with Bilal Ahmed's (Abhay Deol) convoy.

However, Happy's marriage is fixed with a corporator-cum-opportunist, Daman Singh Bagga (Jimmy Sheirgill) against her wishes and it gives Happy all the more reasons to run away. She loves a smoothie named Guddu (Ali Fazal). Pretty evident from the title itself, Happy Bhag Jayegi portrays a story of a perky girl named Happy (Diana Penty) who has a mind of her own and believes in living her life on her own terms.

Cast: Diana Penty, Abhay Deol, Jimmy Sheirgill, Ali Fazal, Piyush Mishra, Javed Sheikh, Momal SheikhĪfter a not so impressing directorial debut with Dulha Mil Gaya (2010), Mudassar Aziz has returned with a comedy film called Happy Bhag Jayegi.
