Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

From my favorite movies..

I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

Happy Ending comes out as fresh flick unlike the same old formula based movies in the rom-com genre.Set in L.A., the plot revolves around a writer forced to work on a movie script for a rising single screen star,five and a half years after his maiden novel release.Saif pulls off the casanova image with ease supported by decent comic performances by govinda,ranvir shorey,ileana and kalki.Happy Ending is colorful movie with its fair share of comedy and decent music.It does not fail to mock at the lust of Hindi cinema for copying the south Indian flicks time and again.Happy Ending may not be the best of the movies of 2014 but it isn't bad either,and is definitely worth a watch.

After the disastrously 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.

A thoroughly entertaining movie. Sure it starts off slow, and along predictable lines, but the punch lines are awesome, given with really hilarious acting. The script was amazing. In the way that it was no different than regular Bollywood movies yet so amazingly entertaining. This movie was definitely a fine balance of romance and comedy. Cameos by Kalki, Ranvir and Govinda were also appreciable. However, Saif and especially Ileana rocked the movie. The songs were timely and good (save the first one). The romantic conversations between Saif and Ileana were great. All in all loved the movie. Please do watch this if you're a fan of bollywood :)

Well, the makers didn't really put up a contest for us to guess what the film would be about. Because we all knew it would have a beginning, a body, and yeah, a happy ending. So, lets not discuss cliché, and focus on why Raj & DK's latest venture is just below average.Saif Ali Khan is in every single frame. And he shimmers, with his 'dude' like costumes and brattish, dapper look. He plays Yudi, a broke writer who has a studio apartment in plush Los Angeles. Now hold your horses before I blurt out more deductions, and this is just the first five minutes. He chases skirt as a full time job, but doesn't believe in commitment. This is the crux of the clichéd story we have vowed not to talk about. Frames pass by with bits of average humor and drama, and another writer turns up. Aanchal (Ileana) is the female version of Yudi, who is originally a fake, but you shouldn't worry about it (even the writers don't).A phony weirdo (Govinda) comes out of nowhere and asks penniless, one-book old writer Yudi to pen a script which shouldn't be "hard-hitting and fine as life." This is like a film inside a film, and it sucks big time. If all other sequences of the film except the ones with Govinda in it were to be trimmed out, I would have personally marched to the production studio and burned the prints of the film with gasoline and then proudly be incarcerated for arson. And then somehow I'd have written a review from inside the prison. Now Govinda is fine with his portrayal, I loathed his character for mocking reality. Yeah, he and his dialogs spark and take potshot at the reality bits of film-making - the Southern film remaking machinery in Bollywood, plagiarism, et al. But, along with all that we had to put up - his physique and blown-off, heavily expletive- ridden songs, I almost had a panic attack myself, just like Yudi constantly has in the film.Ranvir Shorey is the only character that I enjoyed watching; his funny dialogs actually made him look like a hero from a Pritish Nandy production, but it was satisfactory. Koechlin was fine. And surprise, surprise - Preity Zinta has finally come out of the cave and portrays so realistically the role of a cleavage-revealing, thigh-flashing, generously saggy boobed mother of triplets. I almost thought, looking at her physique, that she really gave birth to the triplets for the sake of the role.Cinematography, editing, and all those stuffs that Bollywood usually doesn't bother about while making a film were fine. It is evident that the makers wanted to come up with a film that would reflect the Y, the X, and the selfie generation clubbed together, but the recipe is so outdated and stale that if it were to be found in the recesses of popular website 4chan, it would not surprise me.BOTTOM LINE: Raj & DK have carved out a film using resources from various facets of traditional life, re-enacting them in a foreign location, spicing normal dialogs, casting hot actors, tinging it with generic essences of romance and commitment-phobic expressions to conclude in a corollary that evinces how broke and expended all the people connected with the project really are, which includes Saif and excludes puppet Ileana. All said and done, it is a below average film that you may check out soon to forget it before another film releases next Friday.Can be watched with a typical Indian family? YES
