RomComs (or Romedy as they refer to it in the film) has become such a major trend with Bollywood, and whilst there are many good ones out there - Happy Ending is certainly not one of them! Happy Ending is a typically clichéd film, with plenty of 'obvious' moments in the film, supported by very poor acting and a weak script. The story does not flow whatsoever, and after the intermission you're sort of unclear of what is actually happening. The 'happy ending' of the film is too obvious, and you already know what it will be around 3/4 of the way through the film.
Saif Ali Khan is a very seasoned actor, but he is not able to carry such a film on his shoulders. Whilst his performance is okay at best, the storyline of the film just doesn't help him whatsoever. He is able to pull off some funny scenes quite naturally, and plays the casanova guy role off with ease but how many times is he going to play such a role? Ileana looks lovely on screen, but her chemistry with Saif is quite dry. Ranvir Shorey is the scene stealer each time! He is brilliant as Saif's best friend and some of his one liners will leave you in stitches. Kalki is her usual annoying self, but I guess that is her forte right? Govinda is funny in bits, but a little over the top at times . It was lovely to see Preity Zinta back again, even though it was a small role, and while she pulled off her part quite effortlessly, she doesn't look nearly as good as she used to - unfortunately for her (and I absolutely love her), age has taken a toll on her look.
The music of the film is catchy with my favourites being Jaise Mera Tu and Khamma Ghani, but any music album that consists of a song like Paaji Tussi Such A Pussy Cat should be placed in the bin!
Overall the film is a total bore, and you really question why you even decided to watch it. My advice is to save yourself and watch a proper RomCom!
