The description
of Babloo Happy Hai online is as under
Babloo Happy Hai
is a Hindi film directed by Nila Madhab Panda. It is a love story of today's
youngsters, and what they think love and sex is in the times of multiplexes and
fast cars. Before the film's name was "love is not mathematics"
Let me assure
you that there was no mathematics involved anywhere. There was some sex and some love thrown in
but the word “directed” had very little presence.
15 things that you
learn from Babloo Happy Hai
- Pahaadon pe door door tak petrol pump nahin milte
- In the middle of the nite, if u run out of fuel on a desolated
hill road, a great looking girl will definitely stop and help you - I'm
not talking about a ghost
- In the freezing hills of Manali you will find 3 girls who are
labelled as Banjarans performing item numbers in skimpy clothes because it
is tradition
- The traditional Banjaran dance takes its inspiration from
Bollywood Belly Dances
- The opening line for most girls from Delhi with someone they
have met for the first time is usually, "so you are harry? What do
you like"? Eh????
- Pitam Pura parties are very jhhalla (cannot be translated into
english)
- Sex ij a prayer honey. Not a crime. Celebrate it.
- Even in the worst of snow storms, mobile telephone networks
work like magic.
- If you need space, u should go to NASA
- NGOs don't have any free lunch. Erm... What about life in
general?
- Har bevda... bevdi (alcoholic) daaru peeke sach bolti hai (says
the truth after getting drunk)
- If you go to an NGO to volunteer for a period of time, u will
always carry a few extra evening gowns and party footwear... Just in case
the ngo owner decides to throw an impromptu party.
- If you are @ that party with your girlfriend you should expect
your girlfriend to be perfectly fine if you do a sensuous salsa number
with another girl who is far hotter than your girlfriend.
- Salsa is the best dance form. Even if you have only seen it on
TV a few of times, u can dance like
a pro within a few seconds of your first attempt
- A Mini Cooper stuck in snow for 2-3 days starts off without any
effort. No battery drain. No jump start required. Absolutely brilliant.
A quick look at
the story. Jatin (Sahil Anand) aka Gugu is engaged to Tamanna Singh (Preet
Kamal) who dreams of a perfect wedding. Gugu has 2 best friends - Harry (Sumit
Suri) & Rohan (Amol Parashar). Tamanna is a control freak and H&R. At
the bachelor's party for Gugu, Natasha (Erica Fernandes) and Gugu have a “one-nighter”.
That is quickly followed by a road trip to Ladakh. What starts off as a poor
man's Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara (ZNMD) turns slowly into a movie that has a
social message as well.
There are good
parts. The open and genuine treatment given to the gay relationship of Rohan is
really good. The HIV awareness drive plus use of condoms etc. for the villagers
as well as the youth has been done very well. One dialogue sticks out,
"Saath mein uthne baithne se, khane peene se, gale lagne se, HIV nahin
failti. Pyaar failta hai" (by socialising with people, eating with them or
hugging them, you don't spread HIV. You can only spread love).
BHH has some
good performances from the like of Sahil Anand who seems quite controlled. Sahil has always been the best man and never
the groom and he uses his opportunity well.
Ditto for Sumit Suri and Amol Parashar.
The latter stands out. The women,
however seem very uncomfortable on screen.
Erica Fernandes shows some signs of confidence but fleetingly. The music
isn’t memorable either.
Despite the low
point when Natasha says, "Kaun kambakht bardaash karne ke liye daaru peeta
hai???" and all the other points, that I have called out earlier, Babloo
Happy Hai is a sincere movie with a message that is not common place these
days. The obvious errors could have been avoided and it could have easily been
rated @ 6 on 10. But the gaffes galore leave it at 4 on 10. Watch if and when
you have nothing better to do and on TV.
