The real fun begins once Bagga and Usman enter the narrative. The misunderstanding owing to the name is neatly established. HAPPY PHIRR BHAG JAYEGI doesn’t waste time and the story starts to move forward from the first scene itself. It’s also thanks to his direction that the glitches in the script get overpowered to a great extent. In the midst of fun and laughter, he inserts the somewhat sad flashback sequence of Happy # 2 and yet it engages viewers. He uses a bit of a non-linear style in the beginning and it works very well. Mudassar Aziz’s direction is simple and uncomplicated. For instance, the DANGAL reference is killer! At some places, it’ll pleasantly surprise you. Dialogues had been the mainstay of the first part as well and in the sequel, they are funnier.
Mudassar Aziz’s dialogues are hilarious and witty. The scene where Usman gets horny on seeing the semi naked girls doesn’t really induce laughter. Mudassar Aziz’s screenplay is engaging but one wishes he had done something about the loose ends. Mudassar Aziz’s story is based on a wafer thin plot and doesn't have much logic in it but the humor makes up for it. What happens next forms the rest of the film.
Usman and Bagga too manage to get free from Chang's hold and they team up with Khushi and Happy # 2. Happy # 2 meanwhile runs away from the clutches of Chang and bumps into Khushwant Singh Gill aka Khushi (Jassie Gill), a sardar who works at the Indian embassy. With no other option, they are forced to kidnap Daman Singh Bagga (Jimmy Sheirgill) from India and inspector Usman Afridi (Piyush Mishra) from Pakistan and force them into finding Happy # 1 and take her to Pakistan. Sadly for Chang and his men, they got Happy # 2. They want to kidnap Guddu and then force Happy # 1 to go to Pakistan, meet her friend Bilal (Abhay Deol) and compel his father to get into a business deal that he had promised to fulfill but had later cancelled. It is learnt at this point that Guddu has been tricked into coming to China by Chang (Jason Tham). Happy # 2 mistakenly takes the cab that had come to pick up Happy # 1. In the same flight, Harpreet Kaur aka Happy # 2 (Sonakshi Sinha) is also flying to Shanghai to find Aman Singh Wadhwa (Aparshakti Khurana) who was to marry her but ditched and flew to China on the wedding day. Harpreet Kaur aka Happy # 1 (Diana Penty) is accompanying her hubby Guddu (Ali Fazal) to Shanghai in China where the latter is invited to sing at an event. HAPPY PHIRR BHAG JAYEGI is the story of mistaken identity that takes place in the neighbouring country of China. So does it manage to live upto the expectations? Or does it fail in its endeavour? Let’s analyse. The makers are now back with the sequel, HAPPY PHIRR BHAG JAYEGI and promises to be better or as funny as the first part. Audiences loved the humour quotient a lot which helped the film sustain and even have a recall value two years later.
It released with minimal buzz and ended up doing decent business at the box office. HAPPY BHAG JAYEGI was easily the dark horse of 2016.
