‘Happy Hardy and Heer’ movie review: Now where have we heard that one before?

by

One Himesh Reshammiya used to be bad enough. Happy Hardy and Heer has two of him. (Make that three – the voiceover is by one “HR”).

In his first movie since Tera Surroor (2016), the music composer and singer with fathomless ambitions of being a leading man is both Happy and Hardy, who have a common interest in Heer (Sonia Mann). Heer has been friends with the Sikh and turban-wearing Happy since childhood and therefore cannot take him seriously. Happy, in keeping with the cliche, is also go-lucky, and is affectionately called “Loser” by Heer and everybody else for his inability to hold down a job.

Heer likes “achievers” and in a telling move, falls in love with Happy’s lookalike Hardy, who is sans turban and has golden streaks in his hair and an aa-aa-attitude to match. Hardy is also fabulously wealthy, and the now-sad Happy takes off to heal his heart and add an achievement or two to his name.
