Film review: Babloo Happy Hai
By: Rahul Desai
The utter randomness of the title- considering the crux revolves around a bunch of randy youngsters being educated about HIV in the holy hills of Manali- is the least of its problems. What starts out as the 531st Delhi tri-buddy flick in the last three years quickly assumes the seriocomedic resonance of a Moral Science Class taught by Silvio Berlusconi. To be clear, this is from the director of I Am Kalam and the writer of Paan Singh Tomar (Sanjay Chauhan).
The only partially redeeming factor of this subversive effort is the presence of a gay friend who is not a caricature and Sumit Suri as the frisky hyperactive virgin. Do yourself a favour and log onto Wikipedia instead. Or better stillstare at the poster of Dallas Buyers Club, where Matthew McConaughey spreads more awareness about the disease by devastatingly looking the part.
