The only happy ending here is when you walk out of the theatre, having survived the ordeal that is this film.

What’s with Govinda being the scene stealer in two back to back films and not being given enough scenes to steal. His ability to laugh at himself full throttle meant I couldn’t look at anyone else when he was on screen. More of him and the slobbish Yogi and I’d be recommending this film. In it’s current state, go see it if you’ve seen all the hollywood offerings because it is meant purely for us multiplexers.

Essentially, Happy Ending is a cheeky film with a run-of-the-mill urban romance at its centre. And it’s the mediocre love story that spoils the mood.

Maybe the cinematography will entice you enough to finally make the trip to the U.S. of A. Maybe you fall for ‘Mileya’. As you walk out of the halls, whichever way you fell, Happy Ending wasn’t matched up to what Paaji advised nor was it a comedy about romantic comedies. But you laugh, on occasion because you were warned.

…the star of the show is undoubtedly Govinda. There’s a reason why he’s called the king of comedy. Whether it’s flipping his sunglasses at random, or shoving Hollywood DVDs at his new scriptwriter, or paying for instant six-pack abs, he’s got it down perfectly. Even his disco number is ‘kickass.’

Unfortunately, we can’t say the same about the movie.

Happy Ending is a dull fare, meant mainly for the good multiplexes in the big cities. But its fate in the ordinary multiplexes, in single-screen cinemas and in centres other than the big cities will be far from good. Overall, it will entail heavy losses to all concerned.

Govinda steals the show. He obviously relishes the role of the animated, absurd, irreverent ageing Bollywood hero—doubly zany since he is on the comeback trail himself. The scenes in which he appears are unremittingly funny—and possibly the reason Happy Ending was not entirely a waste of time.

The promos — with its kitschy Paaji Tussi Such a Pussycat song — promised a quirky entertainer from the makers of the poignant Shor in the City and the fun Go Goa Gone. But what it becomes, at the end of it, is the kind of film it thinks it’s making fun of.

Despite being a bona fide romantic comedy, the film goes beyond it.

The movie is a mix of humour, a double fun dose of Govinda and Saif. While Govinda enthrals the audience by delivering funny dialogues with a dead pan face, Saif Ali Khan creates humour with his usual quirkiness.

Happy Ending not entirely hit bang on this new developed saying but definitely takes a dig on movies, which are deemed to be non-sensible just to satisfy the ‘entertainment’ lust of the audience who doesn’t bother to put much brains to find logics.
A light-hearted yet a satirical take are what director duo of Raj Nidimoru and Krishna D.K. keep in their mind before they begin with Happy Ending and yes they succeed in giving us an end product.

Happy Ending is not a bad movie, it just could have been better. It is a decent watch that’ll offer you some laughs here and there, with some popcorn and coke, Happy Ending makes for a watchable movie.
