    Fully ENTERTAINING.

    Can't believe this film has only 5.7 rating on IMDb and 33% on Rotten Tomatoes. It's such a good film. In this film the character of Saif is a writer and he's trying to write a romantic comedy, the film is exactly what he's writing - a making of Rom - Com, also it's a spoof comedy. Like all the other films of Raj & DK it's also fully entertaining.

    After Dil Chahta Hai I think this is the best performance of Saif in a comic role. Ranvir Shorey has some of the best lines in the film. And above all Govinda in special appearance is the cherry on the cake. In every Raj & DK project Sachin - Jigar always create some music which stay with us.

    Though it's more Comedy and less romance it's A Perfect Rom-Com for me.

    Available on JioCinema, ZEE5, Eros Now & AirtelXtream.

    Happy Ending review.

    This film is illuminati's 5th film. And every time i watch a movie of this banner i left with 'wow'. Happy Ending is one of those movies. The cast of the film is superb. All of them especially Saif and Govinda plays their role superbly. Songs of the film are good. G phaad ke and jaise mera tu are my favnurite. First half of the film was quite slow. The only thing that lacked was script writing. But overall, film is very good. After Humshakals, saif is back in form. And i liked that. But film is not finding audience. So, i will recommend to go for it. You will definitely likes it guys. I will go with 6/10. And you should watch it guys.

    A Been-There-Seen-That Rom-Com!

    After the dull Go Goa Gone, Writer-Director Duo Raj Nidimoru & Krishna D. K, churn out a rather predictable film with 'Happy Ending. The Storytelling, The Treatment & The Exeuction, offer no novelty at all. A Been-There-Seen-That Rom-Com!

    'Happy Ending' Synopsis: A once-successful author finds his life on the edge, until a fellow-writer inspires him to write again.

    'Happy Ending' lacks the wit & energy, besides it being shamelessly predictable. The central protagonists portrayed by Saif Ali Khan & Ileana D'Cruz (both looking tired & bored) aren't romantics by nature & that's the prime reason why the on-screen chemistry between the two doesn't work.

    But not all's bad in here, 'Happy Ending' redeems itself to some extend, by giving us some deliciously entertaining supporting characters. Govinda, as a fading film star, hits all the right notes, despite being reduced into a brief cameo. Ranvir Shorey, as Saif's best-friend, who's petrified of his wife, brings the house down. He's hilarious! Kalki Koechlin, as Saif's stalker girlfriend, however, steals the show with a terrific performance. Her scenes are the high-point of the enterprise. Sadly, there isn't much of her!

    On the whole, 'Happy Ending' is a letdown.

    Definitely a worth watch. The duo- Raj & DK rocks again with Saif.

    After GO GOA GONE, the director duo - Raj & DK is one of my favorites. Their films have everything that the youth can enjoy - ROMANCE, COMEDY, NAUTANKI, EMOTIONAL DIALOGUE, SUPERB SOUNDTRACK, EXTRAORDINARY LOCATIONS, DOUBLE MEANING JOKES & LOL/ROFL MOMENTS. This film is better than the previous that I don't know, but, it's surely enjoyable with LOL. Saif Ali Khan is perfectly suitable for these kind of roles. His long hair, his shorts, designed T shirt, cool sun glasses & macho body. Ileana D'Cruz looks sexy in some dresses. But allover looks okay but acts well. Kalki is unbearable for some of the boys in the audience. She has a small role. Kareena & Priety have a special guest appearance. While I liked the role of Priety. Ranveer Shaurey is damn funny as always. But the main reasons to LOL in H.E. is Govinda. He is too funny. Me & my friend could not be able to control ourselves while laughing out loudly. Sachin-Jigar has given a marvelous soundtrack. ALL the songs are catchy. Dialogues by Hussain Dalal are fine. But, it could be better than these. Screenplay is good as well. Some portions has to be little bit faster than the actual. Raj & DK's direction in their second film is outstanding. Some scenes may able to open your eyes as well as mouth saying Wow. Locations are of to mark. Salute to the DOP. On the whole, who loved Go Goa Gone, just go for it. Those who didn't like GGG, just watch Dabang2 type movies. I don't know about any other RJ or critic's ratings, but, as per my enjoyments, I am giving 8*/10*.

    Happy Ending offers a more nuanced exploration of relationships

    Just finished watching Happy Ending, and I can't help but feel a sense of pure delight and satisfaction. This movie won me with its charming storyline, relatable characters, and catchy songs lingering in my mind long after the credits rolled. At its core, "Happy Ending" is a romantic comedy that doesn't take itself too seriously, and that's precisely what makes it so enjoyable. The film's self-awareness and willingness to poke fun at clichés and tropes within the genre add a refreshing twist to the familiar formula of boy meets girl. Instead of adhering to conventional expectations of love and romance, "Happy Ending" offers a more nuanced exploration of relationships, highlighting the complexities and contradictions that often accompany matters of the heart. One aspect of the movie that particularly resonated with me is the character of Yudi, portrayed brilliantly by Saif Ali Khan. Yudi's journey from a disillusioned writer to someone who rediscovers the true meaning of love and happiness struck me personally. His struggles with commitment, his fear of vulnerability, and his eventual realisation that love is worth taking a chance on are themes that many of us can relate to in our own lives. Ileana D'Cruz's portrayal of Aanchal Reddy is equally captivating, bringing a sense of warmth, wit, and authenticity to her character. Aanchal is not your typical Bollywood heroine; she's independent, intelligent, and unafraid to speak her mind. Her dynamic with Yudi is endearing and relatable as they navigate the ups and downs of modern-day romance with humour and heart. Of course, no review of "Happy Ending" would be complete without mentioning its fantastic soundtrack. The songs are not just catchy tunes to dance along to; they also enhance the story's emotional depth. Whether it's the playful romance of "G Phaad Ke" or the soulful introspection of "Mileya Mileya," each song adds another layer to the film's narrative, making it an even more immersive and enjoyable experience. From a visual standpoint, "Happy Ending" is a feast for the eyes, with vibrant cinematography capturing the vibrant energy of Mumbai and the sun-soaked landscapes of California. The film's stylish aesthetics, complemented by sleek production design and costumes, create a world that feels aspirational and relatable, transporting viewers into a cinematic fantasy that is impossible to resist.

    In conclusion, "Happy Ending" is more than just a movie; it's a feel-good experience that leaves a lasting impression. With its engaging storyline, memorable characters, and infectious songs, it's the kind of film that you'll want to watch again and again. So if you need a pick-me-up or want to escape into a world of love, laughter, and happily ever afters, look no further than "Happy Ending." You won't be disappointed.
