Abhishek Bachchan’s Be Happy is now available to stream on Prime Video, and viewers have fallen in love with the leading man’s strong and heartfelt performance. X (formerly Twitter) users are showering praises on Junior Bachchan for single-handedly saving the film from being just another mediocre dance drama.
Be Happy is the latest dance drama from director Remo D’Souza’s arsenal. While the film falters in some places, overall, it stands as his most mature and heartfelt directorial attempt to date—coming from the ABCD, Race 3, and Street Dancer filmmaker.
The story revolves around a father-daughter duo, Shiv (Abhishek Bachchan) and Dhara (Inayat Verma). Shiv is a loving and protective father, while his daughter, Dhara, is wise beyond her years. When Dhara’s dream of competing in India’s biggest dance reality show faces a life-changing crisis, Shiv takes it upon himself to fulfill her dream—showcasing the extraordinary lengths he is willing to go to make her happy.
Be Happy has received a mixed-to-positive response from critics. However, audience reactions have been significantly more favourable, with particular praise directed at Bachchan’s magnetic performance. X (Twitter) has been flooded with posts praising the Yuva and Guru actor for his outstanding work in Remo D’Souza’s latest film. His bond with Inayat Verma is undoubtedly one of the film’s highlights.
Despite delivering stellar performances in recent years, Abhishek Bachchan still doesn’t receive the recognition he deserves. His performance in Ghoomer was lauded by critics for its nuanced intensity. As a coach, he delivered a compelling portrayal, capturing the character’s grit and determination. He effectively showcased the emotional journey of a mentor, balancing tough love with genuine support.
Meanwhile, Shoojit Sircar’s I Want to Talk features an even stronger performance from Bachchan compared to Ghoomer. The way he plays Arjun Sen will surely melt your heart. Bachchan effortlessly adds emotional depth and authenticity to his character, capturing its complexities with remarkable precision. He fully immerses himself in the role, utilizing subtle acting techniques—conveying emotions through his eyes and body language. These nuances helped him carry the film entirely on his own.
Be Happy is yet another project that treasures one of Abhishek Bachchan’s finest performances. Even Amitabh Bachchan has called his son’s work “extraordinary.” Here are some of the X posts praising his performance in the movie.
