Here are the five reasons why the movie, “Happy Phir Bhag Jayegi” is a treat (preferably, a weekend treat) for your family

Today, fans are being treated with two films of different genres – Happy Phir Bhag Jayegi and Nawazuddin starter, “Genius”. While the former is a family entertainer, the latter appeals to the youth. Even though neither of the films features any Bollywood superstar, they do have an impressive line-up of actors like Jimmy Shergill, Sonakshi Sinha and Nawazuddin Siddiqui, who can draw a niche audience in masses to the theatres.

“The first installment did a decent business. The second one should open around Rs 2 to Rs 2.5 crore but it all depends on how the evening shows perform,” Karan Johar said. Even though the makers have retained the entire cast from the first part, one name that is missing is of critically appreciated and recognized actor cum producer from Deol-family; “Dev D” famed Abhay Deol. However, Karan Johar believes that it won’t have any impact on the film’s collection.

However, the film has failed to create a buzz and is unlikely to go past the Rs 1 crore marks on the day 1. Apart from competing against each other, these films will also face a tough competition thrown by Gold and Satyameva Jayate, which are going strong and steady at the box-office in their second week.
