HPBJ is just as good as HBJ, if not better. Aparshakti Khurrana, in a brief but surprising role, creates a good impact too. Sonakshi Sinha as the feisty and spirited Happy, is very good too.
His character has many quirks and the actor delivers every single dialogue with disarming charm. The performances by the ensemble cast are pitch perfect, but the one actor who stands out with his comedic timing is Jimmy Sheirgill. The film could have been a tad bit shorter with taut editing, but that doesn’t really affect the prospects too much. The writing of HPBJ is its strength, the gags and scenes have been written with genuine alacrity. Mudassar Aziz has managed to blend funny Punjabi dialogues in the Chinese setting of the film and the outcome is downright hilarious. Both actors excel in the scenes of outrageous comedy. Denzil plays Adnan Chau and Jason is Chan, the leader of the gangsters. But an extra word of appreciation for actors Denzil Smith and Jason Tham, who play the Chinese characters. Once the characters of Bagga (Jimmy Sheirgill), Usmaan Bhai (Piyush Mishra) and Khushi (Jassie Gill) get introduced, the film’s pace and humour picks up to a whole new level.
These random bits of humour set the tone for the rest of the film, that plays out in a series of gags and situational humour set pieces, that are genuinely hilarious. Diana Penty’s Happy and her husband Guddu are escorted to a college, where a random Chinese man acting as their translator employs such chaste Hindi that it bamboozles the Punjabi couple. Sonakshi Sinha’s Happy is kidnapped by a bunch of bumbling gangsters who have hilarious names like Makaju (pronounced like a popular Hindi expletive). The two Happys get interchanged as soon as the film begins. The film wastes no time in establishing the premise. HPBJ has delightfully random humour, the kind that you can watch over and over again. The writing and direction by Mudassar Aziz are top notch. It works on the same themes and ideas that made its predecessor, Happy Bhag Jayegi (HBJ) such a laugh riot. And that’s exactly why Happy Phirr Bhag Jayegi (HPBJ) is such a fun film. It’s always fun to watch, people caught up in extraordinary circumstances behaving like simpletons. Happy Phirr Bhag Jayegi Review: Comedy of errors is one of the oldest tricks in the filmmaking business. Gangsters who’ve come to kidnap Happy and her husband, pick up the wrong Happy, while Guddu and his wife Happy are escorted to a university to deliver a lecture. Happy Phirr Bhag Jayegi Story: Horticulture professor Happy (Sonakshi Sinha) arrives in Shanghai and the other Happy (Diana Penty) along with husband Guddu (Ali Fazal) also lands up in the Chinese city at the same time.
