Really amazing movie from Tollywood's most talented Director First half of the film is neat though some of us might feel that Sekhar Kammula kind of emotional scenes are not there. But in the second half of the film, he added good emotional episodes and made sure that you get connected with the film. The plus points of the film are direction, fresh cast, music, cinematography and editing. On the flip side, the pace of the film slackens at times. Sekhar Kammula who did female oriented films like Anand and Godavari came up with a film of different genre this time. The genre might be changed, but his honesty and film-making abilities are in tact. If he sticks to his sensibilities, Sekhar Kammula can never make a bad film. Go and watch 'Happy Days'

Sekhar Kammula has done a wonderful job in portraying college life in Andhra Pradesh. Nice story and cinematography, light-hearted movie with friendship and romance. This was the first Telugu movie that I had seen and I was pretty impressed. All the actors have portrayed their part really well, whether it be Tamanna, Varun Sandesh or the other actors. The music is amazing. If you haven't yet listened to the songs, do so. You ll fall in love with the album.

This is definitely one of the best college movies that I have seen, it may not have the big actors like 3 Idiots but still a very good watch. You would definitely like to watch it again.

Another mega hit of 2007. But this time, it's not about the villains, the power or anything else that normal Nagarjuna and Chiranjeevi movies have. It is instead in simple words: about college in Andhra Pradesh. It is about ragging, friends, and relationships during college. I think it is a wonderful idea in general to create a movie with good actors who portray life in college as a time which brings about so many new experiences, if they may be good or bad. However, I didn't buy the whole idea that they summed up your "happy days." I mean I think that a person's "happy days" cover a very broad span of memories and experiences throughout a lifetime, but not necessarily in four years of undergraduate college. One really good thing though is that throughout the movie, the characters develop friendship and love for each other that we as an audience learn to care about. And the characters are very different from each other. They're thankfully not a husky gang of macho young men. There's a geek, there's a party animal, there's a studious guy, etc. But what makes it all very fun, is that they're three-dimensional. We see the romance, the partying, the drama, and the education (to a certain extent). So Check out the movie and the songs "Oh my Friend" and "Arey." A pretty good movie.

Instead of creating a story out of thin air, sometimes the easiest way out is to take inspiration from your own life incidents. Not doubting Mr. Kammula's capabilities, but I wouldn't be surprised to know if it was an autobiography or at least a semi. In fact it wouldn't be wrong to state that "Happy Days" is biography of everyone one of us.

Characterisation:: Keeping the long story short, every character you see in "Happy Days" will be identifiable with each one of our classmates. Ditto for situations, very true to life. It is very difficult to pin-point one single character or one situation which stand out – because "Happy Days" is fully-loaded.

Romantic track:: The lead pair get the slice of the pie. And its all about KISS ie. Keeping it Simple Stupid! No mushy-mushy stuff or an ode' to Maine Pyar Kiya (read that as "over the top").

The songs are soothing and blend in with the story quite well. Screenplay is good and the editor has made good use of the scissors to keep the narrative engrossing. "Happy Days" is sound from all technical fronts. Without a doubt – Mr. Kammula, you hold the reigns well.

The success of "Happy Days" proves that the audience is yelling "ENOUGH!!" to the "old wine in the new bottle" intoxication techniques'. Treading the path unknown, thinking out of the box, executing with passion and conviction are the new buzzwords which will eventually find its way – into the audience's heart.

PS: CBIT never looked "the enshrined temple" of knowledge until now.

Excellent💯💯👍👍 movie. It shows the good behaviour of friends. It show us importance of friendship. This movie is a super hit movie. It tells us about the EAMCET and various branches of engineering.

The movie is really wonderful.. Some who have experienced a different college life will really long for something like this one. The director has portrayed college life beautifully ...the cricket game may not be up

To the mark ... . But still it is really funny and one should enjoy it that way . ... Love & friendship are shown beautifully ... Well it is really true that

Right now

.... You ought to be enjoying it .....!

This is a great college Rom-Com really fun to watch, giving you flashback of your own university days. And the song 'O my friend' almost touched my heart :D

A good movie which will make you feel nostalgic about your college life.

This was only the second Telugu movie i was watching, jus got interested in the "Shekar Khammulla style of movie-making" after watching "Anand". Well, Happy Days turned out to be one of the most beautiful South Indian movies i have seen.

Yea true, its about the colorful and youthful college days but it does stamp an everlasting impression as a classic in our hearts for reasons which are inexpressible. The movies got everything - friendship, romance, family, songs and what not. The best thing about the movie though is that we don't see any stupid twists or inane tales in between, its all about college life and no non-sense whatsoever except for some absurd comical scenes - inventions by Tyson which are used in may scenes - albeit it didn't affect the movie at all.

Songs were another awesome factor which pumped up the movie experience, both melodic and rocking songs with some beautiful background scores making scenes enjoyable. If u have been to college, you would certainly feel the magic of happy days, for it would ooze out your college life from your heart, giving u that painful nostalgia.

If u have ever been to an engineering college, this movie is for you, and best if you see it in the last year of your engineering course. and don't worry if you are not an engineering student, you can still feel the taste of the college life. This movie gives you the every detail and every possible happening an engineering college can have, from love to fight for friendship, being ditched, sports, and most of all - feeling nostalgic. with no big stars in this movie, you feel the essence more charged up. and the music is excellently selected to give the movie that college look. What more 2 say. My rating shows the rest. Trust me, a must watch for every engineer.

I bet the reviews are all local, i.e. Telegu guys raving about it. Except for a few romantic scenes, there is nothing universal about it. The title itself is misleading, not much to be "happy" about, there is too much violence, and not stylized violence like in James Bond or silly violence like in spaghetti westerns but just petty, rowdy, ugly violence. Engineering colleges have a lot of ragging and medical colleges are even worse. Do they (except for the girls) even learn anything? These are the doctors and engineers that come out of India. Sorry, but there is nothing to be proud of. One of the students said he can't even speak a word of English. And they want to get admission at Minnesota - how will they pass the TOEFL if they don't know English? People who went to the better colleges like St. Stephen's and Xavier's or Madras Christian have a hard time believing there are actually colleges like this, but I suppose this is the norm, truly pathetic. The only saving grace (and the reason I watched this) is Tamannaah and Kamalinee who do the movie some justice. Tamannaah is quite enduring and charming even though in some movies (Babli Bouncer) she's a country bumpkin. And Kamalinee is (rather, was) gorgeous, at least in her younger days. Now she is too chubby, maybe that's why she quit films. She has a very brief role in the movie, teaching English, which is only fitting as she majored in English Lit at Loreto. They should have given her a bigger role. This could have been a good movie if it cut out some songs and stupid fights and made it an hour less. I can understand the appeal this has for engineering grads and Andhra college grads and Telegu people in general but that does not make it a universally appealing movie.

Speaks on youth's thoughts, love and their emotions.

Happy music and enthusiastic scenes but has some unrealistic things.

Excellent💯💯👍👍 movie. It shows the good behaviour of friends. It show us importance of friendship. This movie is a super hit movie. It tells us about the EAMCET and various branches of engineering.

"Happy Days" offers a light-hearted glimpse into college life, portraying youth, friendship, and nostalgia. With its engaging background scores and simple cinematography, the film also includes an overabundance of typical Telugu movie comedy, some of which may be lost in translation. While the comedic elements may not resonate with everyone, the heartwarming themes of camaraderie and coming-of-age moments make this movie a charming watch for those seeking a feel-good experience. However, it's worth noting that the movie could have delved a bit deeper, as the plot remains relatively simple throughout, the acting also at best slightly above average. Despite this, the performances by the cast bring authenticity to the characters, drawing viewers into their world of youthful adventures and struggles. Overall, "Happy Days" is a fun and enjoyable film that you would want to watch with friends on a day when you are in a mood to watch something requiring lesser mind.
