The much-anticipated dance drama Be Happy, directed by Remo D’Souza and starring Abhishek Bachchan, is set to premiere on Amazon Prime Video on March 14. This film promises to be a heartwarming journey of love, resilience, and the power of dreams.
According to the makers, Be Happy is a compelling tale that seamlessly intertwines themes of family, ambition, and perseverance. The film features Abhishek Bachchan as Shiv, a devoted single father, whose life revolves around his lively and quick-witted daughter, Dhara, played by Inayat Verma. Dhara harbors a dream of performing on the country’s biggest dance reality show. However, when an unforeseen crisis threatens to shatter her aspirations, Shiv is faced with a life-altering decision. To keep his daughter’s dreams alive, he embarks on an extraordinary journey, rediscovering himself in the process and uncovering the true essence of happiness.
Alongside Abhishek and Inayat, the film boasts a stellar supporting cast, including Nora Fatehi, Nassar, Johny Lever, and Harleen Sethi. The film is set to release in Hindi and will also be dubbed in Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, and Kannada, catering to audiences in India and across 240 countries and territories worldwide.
Produced by Lizelle Remo D’Souza under the banner of Remo D’Souza Entertainment Pvt Ltd, Be Happy is a project close to the director’s heart. Speaking about the film, Remo D’Souza shared, “For Lizelle and me, Be Happy is a true passion project—a deeply moving story that celebrates the special bond between a father and daughter through the magic of music and dance. It’s a relationship that transcends cultures, and we wanted to bring that emotion to life in a way that feels both authentic and uplifting.”
Abhishek Bachchan was last seen in I Want to Talk, directed by Shoojit Sircar. The film, which featured a strong ensemble cast including Ahilya Bamroo, Jayant Kriplani, Johny Lever, Pearle Dey, and Kristin Goddard, explored themes of resilience and human connection. I Want to Talk followed the story of Arjun Sen, a Bengali man who had lived the “American Dream,” only to learn that he had just 100 days to live. This revelation set him on a transformative journey to reconnect with his estranged seven-year-old daughter, making for an emotional and poignant narrative.
With Be Happy, Abhishek Bachchan is poised to once again deliver a touching performance that highlights the unbreakable bond between a father and his daughter. Audiences can expect a soulful blend of music, dance, and heartfelt storytelling when the film premieres on March 14.
