“it’s a gripping movie, Brilliant performance by Abhishek,” wrote another user.
“Just watched ‘Be Happy’ and I’m still reeling from Abhishek Sir’s incredible performance.. Abhishek Sir! You’re one of the most talented actors of our time. Your acting is always top-notch, but this performance was something special. Keep shining, AB!” came from another user.

Be Happy movie reviews
“The script gets something right in the father-daughter bond but doesn’t excavate the depth and complexities of single parenting, grief and trauma. In focusing on the drama, D’Souza takes his eye off his core competence—dance,” Udita Jhunjhunwala wrote on Livemint.
“A direct-to-OTT release is a smart choice, freeing it from box office pressures and allowing viewers to discover it on their own time. Despite its flaws, Be Happy leaves you with a smile,” Rishabh Suri wrote on Hindustan Times.
“Abhishek bachchan literally shines as the struggling single father…But even his honest and sincere effort cannot save this ship that starts sinking in the second half!” wrote Trisha Gaur on Koimoi while calling actress Inayat Verma a “show-stealer”.
“Verma is a sparkler, lighting up the screen. And Bachchan, who did such a solid job being a dad-to-a-daughter in ‘I Want To Talk’, comes off more stolid here,” commented Shubhra Gupta on Indian Express.
