Every night Choocha has a dream that Hunny translates into a lottery number that they purchase.

Victoria and Abdul

PlayThe year is 1887 marking Queen Victoria's 50th year of rule. Two arbitrary Muslim subjects from India are chosen to visit England for the Golden Jubilee celebration and give the Queen (Dame Judi Dench) a Mohur a Mughal commemorative coin.

The liveried Indians are supposed to present Victoria with the coin at a banquet at Windsor Castle before leaving right away for India but things go horribly wrong when Abdul Karim (Ali Faizal) the taller and more attractive of the two men attracts the Queen's attention. For the remainder of the Jubilee, she asks that the two Indians serve as her footmen.

Abdul Karim becomes one of Victoria's favourite and most reliable confidants as a few weeks turn into 14 years. He gradually introduces India its traditions and cuisines as well as its social issues under British rule to the lonely and jaded Queen. The enquiring monarch is also taught by him how to read and write in Urdu.

As a result, he earns the enmity and jealousy of the Royal Family especially Prince Edward also known as Bertie (Eddie Izzard) the heir to the throne and the promiscuous son of Queen Victoria.

Happy Bhaag Jayegi

PlayDiana Penty plays the feisty and reckless Amritsari kudi Happy who runs away from her own wedding to be with her boyfriend Guddu (Ali Fazal). This enrages her intended groom and would-be politician Bagga (Jimmy Sheirgill).

When Happy doesn't end up with either and unintentionally lands in Pakistan confusion results. Sparks fly when she runs into aspiring politician Bilal (Abhay Deol). However, he and Zoya are engaged (Momal Shiekh). Who is the winner?

A runaway bride is the focal point of Happy Bhag Jayegi a new lighthearted take on cross-border camaraderie. It tempts you into temporarily suspending reason because it provides clean entertainment with lots of jokes. The main plot revolves around the characters' cat-and-mouse game with a dash of romance.

This movie to a certain extent satisfies your curiosity about our neighbours and their culture. The situational humour clever writing and excellent casting make the comic caper work. Many of the laugh-out-loud moments in the first half are caused by Piyush Mishra's chaste Urdu speaking. Even though Jimmy Sheirgill doesn't get the girl he does land memorable roles and his portrayal of Bagga in this film is the standout.

Jimmy consistently steals the show whether it be by calling Ali or Justin Bieber or uttering the phrase 'Mere shaadi rukwane ke peeche padosi mulk ka haath hai.' Ali and Abhay are equally capable. The stunning Diana Penty makes an impression as the vivacious Punjabi Happy a very different character from the one she played in Cocktail. She shines the entire time. Momal has integrity.

The second half falters a little because the love songs come on abruptly and without much realism. The juvenile chase scene at the end is also cartoonish. Overall though for the two hours that it runs the family comedy pulls the right strings and alters the present (if not the history) of Indo-Pak relations. Janaab sit back and enjoy the ride!
