Happy Days- review, my view

A full length entertainer, as seen in all tv channels its a big hit of the season. As the big releases are not faring well, this can go bit higher too. Performance of new comers, direction and songs are very good. This said, there is some thing you expect and not present in the movie.

College life, when specified engineering, has many other things than girls. And that every thing else is left. It is sure that every one will have a crush, may be some will have a girl friend, and yes some might be ditched by their girl friend/ boy friend. But that alone is not college life, not for any student. There are many important people, things, events in college life.

The best part lies in hostel life, in the relation shared with seniors and later juniors, and all the time with staff. The fun being pet of few staff and being the most pointed by few staff is the last thing one can forget. There may be crush on some beautiful staff, but thats not all. The exams, copying, results, attendance and attendance shortage, bunking of classes... lots and lots. I miss that in movie from my expected list.

Then the relation with seniors. They are the one who give us the courage to go through difficulties, advise us on career and life and at times teach us the greatness of friendship. This is from them we learn the tradition of birthday bumps, engineering salute, bunking and many other things. The same we do spread to our juniors. Getting our records written by juniors, ragging them, inquiring about the girls of their batch... lots to say.

Even the too good songs in movie are not at right situations. The lyrics do not match the situation. They could have been utilised in much better scenes.

I feel Nuvve Kavali was a better college life, and love life. May be we can call Happy Days as Nuvve Kavali-2 or Meere Kavali ;). With no doubt it is as good entertainer and makes you nostalgic and a must see.
