![]() (Drinking game for those who hate-watch this movie: Take a shot anytime someone says “bronze.”) As if that’s not enough, misogyny is the cherry on top of this prejudice cake. It’s a continuous assault of racism and homophobia that almost overwhelms the senses. ![]() What the trailer also telegraphs, is the sheer volume of bigotry that overflows from “Happy Phirr Bhag Jayegi.” There is stereotyping of all flavors: Chinese, Punjabi, LGBTQ, and Pakistani. ![]() The trailer practically gives away the entire plot of the movie, barring some of the errors in what was surely intended to be a comedy of errors.Īnd that plot is the very definition of ‘contrived.’ One Happy is confused for another and kidnapped by some evil-doers, and the other Happy’s ‘friends’ are brought to China to help convince this Happy to do the bad guy’s dirty work. ![]() The highlight from the first movie was Abhay Deol’s grounded performance, and its absence from the second movie was increasingly felt with each passing minute. “Happy Phirr Bhag Jayegi,” the sequel to the surprisingly decent “Happy Bhag Jayegi,” not only does the first movie a disservice, but also to good actors such as Sonakshi Sinha, Piyush Sharma, and Jimmy Shergill. I spent two hours and sixteen minutes watching “Happy Phirr Bhag Jayegi.” Try as I might, I can’t get those 136 minutes back, but I can try to save you a migraine.
