बी हैप्पी

Be Happy is a 2025 Hindi dance drama film written and directed by Remo D'Souza, produced by Lizelle Remo D'Souza, and released on Amazon Prime Video on March 14, 2025. The film centres on Shiv Rastogi (Abhishek Bachchan), an ordinary middle-class father who — inspired by and seeking to support his dance-obsessed daughter Dhara (Inayat Verma) — takes up competitive dance despite having no prior training or aptitude. Dhara has been enrolled in a prestigious dance academy run by the stern mentor Nadar (Nassar), and her dream of becoming a professional dancer drives both characters through the film's central arc. Maggi (Nora Fatehi), a professional dancer who crosses paths with Shiv, serves as a key supporting catalyst. The film features cameos from Bollywood dance personalities including Jay Bhanushali, Punit Pathak, Salman Yusuff Khan, Elli AvrRam, and Sonali Bendre. Marking Abhishek Bachchan's first dance-focused starring role, the film explores how fatherhood, when expressed through sacrifice and love, can redefine what it means to be extraordinary. Runtime: 130 minutes. Received mixed critical reviews.

Be Happy has one of the largest original soundtracks of any Indian OTT release in early 2025 — 12 songs with a total runtime of 45:29 minutes, all composed by Harsh Upadhyay with lyrics by Pranav Vatsa, released under T-Series on March 12, 2025. Key tracks: Sultana (Sunidhi Chauhan, Nora Fatehi, Mika Singh, 4:02); Raja (Vishal Dadlani, Jatinder Singh, 6:25); Devi Aayi (Shankar Mahadevan, 4:08); Mere Papa (Senjuti Das, Jatinder Singh, 6:26); Superstar (Mika Singh, 3:18); Mazza Hi Mazza (Sukriti Bhardwaj, 2:35); Praan Pita Ka (Kailash Kher, 4:54); Be Happy (Abhay Harpale, 3:24); Dream (Sukriti Bhardwaj, 1:25); I Got The Moves (Harsh Upadhyay, 2:11); Sultana Remix (3:23); Superstar Kids Version (3:18). Critics specifically praised Raja and Mere Papa as standout tracks.

Marks Abhishek Bachchan's first dance-centred lead role — a genre he had not headlined despite two decades in the industry — directed by Remo D'Souza, one of Bollywood's foremost dance cinema directors (ABCD, Street Dancer). The 12-song original soundtrack is among the largest for any Indian OTT release in early 2025, featuring Sunidhi Chauhan, Shankar Mahadevan, Kailash Kher, and Vishal Dadlani — a star-studded vocal lineup demonstrating T-Series's investment in the project. The father-daughter emotional arc adds family-film weight to a dance entertainment.

Mixed critical reviews but the father-daughter arc found a warm audience on Prime Video. 'Raja' (Vishal Dadlani, Jatinder Singh) and 'Mere Papa' (Senjuti Das, Jatinder Singh) were cited as emotionally effective; 'Praan Pita Ka' with Kailash Kher found appreciation in the devotional-dance fusion space. The film extended Remo D'Souza's dance-entertainment filmography while marking a new chapter in Abhishek Bachchan's career, signalling his pivot toward family-centric content on OTT platforms.
