The oft-seen women bashing - portraying them as heartless and cunning opportunists notwithstanding, Wish You Happy Breakup is a cute film at the outset. A coming-of-age drama about the youth of today, and the turns in their lives because of ups and downs in their relationships, the film is a complete urban drama that is fun, entertaining and relatable.
If you are a youngster who grew up in today's urban setup, most characters in the film will seem right out of your life. The hero who's forever with his camera, the roommates who look at alcohol as the solution to every problema in life, the irritatingly good people everyone meets in life, the girl who is secretly in love with the best friend, the flirtatious friend who eventually gets trapped, the excitement about free drinks at a party and the list goes on.
But this film isn't just about these moments because without the good writing involved, it wouldn't be as delightful an experience. The first half of the film captivates you only because of some witty one liners. Sample this: Aina kadupainaka condom vadte manchiguntunde annatu... ippudu ediste emostadi bhayya?
The most interesting aspect about the film, though, is the narration technique with the camera in several interesting angles. The hero constantly shooting himself with the camera is a very novel idea, and the end result makes the film seem like a documentary. A sequence where Tejaswi (as Nikki) and Udai are sitting at a pool is probably one of the best captured scenes alongside the scene where Udai attempts suicide.
