What happens
Happy is a 2006 Indian Telugu-language romantic action comedy film directed by A. Karunakaran and produced by Allu Aravind under his production Geetha Arts banner. The film stars Allu Arjun and Genelia in the lead roles, while Manoj Bajpayee, Deepak Shirke, Brahmanandam, Kishore and Tanikella Bharani appear in supporting roles. The music was scored by Yuvan Shankar Raja, while the cinematography and editing were handled by R. D. Rajasekhar and Anthony. The film is a remake of the 2004 Tamil film Azhagiya Theeye with Radha Mohan providing the story while Karunakaran wrote the screenplay with Kona Venkat penning the dialogues. Happy was released on 27 January 2006 to generally positive reviews from critics and audiences. Despite the positive reviews, it was a commercial failure during its initial release in Andhra Pradesh, underperforming considerably compared to Arjun's previous films, Arya and Bunny, receiving criticism for its climax along with competition from other more successful releases. It was later dubbed and released in Malayalam as Happy Be Happy, and was a blockbuster in Kerala running successfully for over 175 days. Along with the success of Arya, the film gave rise to Arjun's eventual stardom and popularity in the state, earning him the nickname, "Mallu Arjun". It was remade in Odia as Loafer (2011). The 4K version of the dubbed Malayalam version was re-released in Kerala on June 12, 2026 and took a grand opening, outperforming several big-budget Telugu films and broke records for a Telugu-dubbed film re-release out of state, as well as a re-release in Kerala.
