Happy Ending

*****
“Happy Beginning” finally it’s the time for girls to call the shot, ‘no love only sex’ is the legacy going to go on with our B town babes? The Saif formula of pomposity to flirt with girls but not falling in love takes an Upturn as the ball goes in the court otherwise.
Bollywood is coming of age and one reason to cheer is “Happy Ending” unexpectedly a film which is directed by Raj Nidimoru and Krishna D.K. [Shaadi.com / Go Goa Gone] who have entered a zone which habitually is dominated by Kapoors or Chopras. The film has all the gloss and moods of typical RomCom but the elements which are alluring are the performance by the entire cast.
Yudi [Saif Ali Khan] a author is basking on the glory of his book which is a history and not even available on the bookshelf, Montu [Ranvir Shorey] is his troublemaker partner for every ditch which Yudi gives to his girls. His self talks are with pompous Yogi [also Saif] for notorious psychoanalysis.
Out of the blue, Yudi is bankrupt and his publishers dump him for an hit fiction novelist Aanchal [Ileana D'Cruz]. Yudi tries to charm Aanchal to take back his position.
Bollywood single-screen superstar Armaan [Govinda] who is planning to reincarnate his image insists Yudi to write a script to match standards of multiplex-style RomCom.
The big hurdle for Yudi is her dentist girlfriend Vishakha [Kalki Koechlin] pursuing him fanatically to marry him by faking she being pregnant.
In all it becomes a herculean task for Yudi to complete the script for Armaan’s film.
Govinda as Armaan-ji rocks this actor never is out of spirit his prowess of entertaining are unparalleled, Ranvir Shorey has a nonchalant way of acting the show stealer is Ileana with her raw beauty and aptitude to live the character of Aanchal with conviction, she proves not being a object of our typical formula flicks.
The music of the film is yet one more reason, endearing and techno composed by the duo Sachin - Jigar ,"Haseena Tu Kameena Mein", "Paaji Tussi Such A Pussy Cat" Screen writer Husain Dalal has proficiently written witty lines with class.
