Happy New Year Review by Nipun:
Happy New Year, directed by Farah Khan is among the most awaited movies of the year. The director is back with her favourite superstar SRK through it. Does HNY live upto the expectation? Okay, let’s find .
Happy New Year is the story of a boxer Charlie (Shahrukh Khan) who wants to pull off the biggest robbery to take revenge of his father(Anupam Kher)’s death. For this, he creates a team with other five people: a half-deaf guy Jag(Sonu Sood),an old batchelor tammy(Boman Irani),ace-puker Nandu(Abhishek Bachchan), a geeky-hacker Rohan(Vivaan Shah) and a dancer(Mohini). To succeed in the mission,they have to take part in World Dance Compitition. So Mohini teaches them dancing and accordingly the story proceeds.
Director Farah Khan’s HNY is obviously better than her last movie Tees Maar Khan,but it’s not good either. The first half is okay with a few good intro-scenes of all stars. The second half is boring with a lots of manipulative sequences in the story.
This movie is absolutely poor in sense and logic. The plot is highly manipulative and unrealistic. Many questions will arise on your mind like “how the jury decided to select the team for final by seeing charlie rescuing the kid in a world dance compitition?” or “how Vivaan is hacking all those votes so easily that too in a selection for an international dance compitition,can it be possible?” and so on.The fighting parts between Sonu sood and the bodyguards will remind you of the fighting scenes of any b-grade typical masala film. The comic part works some times like at the time when charlie and his fans tries to learn the dance forms(where dancers use their toes only) and during time of Boman Irani’s Mom. But many times, the comedy simply doesn’t work.The chemistry between the male lead and female lead is decent to below average.
The cinematography was okay. They could have induced more beautiful locations. However,the stage design, costume design and the work of make up artists are praise-worthy.
Director Farah khan tries here the same formula as she did in OSO and TMK. In OSO and TMK,the characters were learning acting and shooting for the movie. Here,the characters learn dancing.She has induced some special appearances for comedy. But their parts never offer anything. The script is complicated with so many elements like action,comedy,romance,revenge,petriotism,dance,hacking and so on which is why the movie looks clumsy and problematic. Director Farah Khan has made this movie only for entertainment,But sadly it’s not offering much of entertainment at all. Even if I ignore the weak story,sense and logic , it hardly gives anything like we haven’t seen before in bollywood. HNY also includer many popular dialogues of old bollywood. The movie is absolutely predictable too.
The saving graces in the movie are the performances by the actors. SRK has given complete justice to his role even though the role never gives much scope for his acting. My favourite part in HNY is the entry of SRK in the end at the stage where he delivers some quotes about Indiawaale. Deepika plays the role of a non-english speaking girl. She played her part well. Abhishek Bachchan was hilarious at some moments. Best performances in HNY belong to both SRK and junior Bachchan. Boman Irani,Jacky Shroff and Vivaan shah were impressive in their parts. Sonu Sood was decent to good. His looks,physique were great though.
Music and Choreography, the two important parts of HNY are not impressive at all. Manwa lage is a nice song and the best one in the album. The other tracks are average at best. The background music works well.
So, over all, Happy New Year is a typical Farah Khan movie where you cann’t expect anything great. It exists to entertain. But to get entertained, you have to leave logic and sense and then we will find it “just satisfactory at best,not more than it”. It’s boring too. Watching such a movie for 3 hours is torturous.
So in my final words, despite having good performances and good costume and stage design,Happy New Year is clumsy,complicated,joyless,problematic,manipulative,silly and boring at some places due to its poor script. I am going with two stars. HNY is the most grandly-hyped and grandly-promoted movie. But,where is the grandeur in the movie?
RATING: 2/5
shahrukh should never work with farah again.
I couldn’t stop laughing when a SRK Fan said Tees Maar Khan was better than HNY.
YRF are not going to release official numbers on weekdays because the film has CRASHED
If the weekdays go the same way, #HappyNewYear 1st Week collection will be around 140-142 crore. Minimum chance to cross 200 cr now.
SRK is behaving like that naughty child who gets bad marks in school test but hides the result from parents. No Official Figures.
film is holding well on a week day, it has collected 15-16Cr on monday which is not a huge drop. Week 1 will be in the range of 160-165Cr
@vshantharam. I couldn’t laugh more when one lallu fan said that none of lallu movies come closer to tmk. He he
difference b/w hny and d3

hny has manipulators
#HappyNewYear can break record of #Dhoom3 easily if SRK consult Rakesh Roshan Ji before to give further collections of the film.
@ shantaram
even i couldnt stop laughing when some one said veer, marigold, yuvvraj was better than kick.
@indicine the latter comments of other users have been posted. Plz post my review
CE was all about Rohit Shetty+Thalaiva+5 Holidays, HNY proves it. SRK is now out of the race. \m/
Good game and no doubt HNY game was better than HNY movie.
I thought it is success of film, but it is success of mobile game.
I mean, what are they trying to convey? Did the release the movie to promote the game? lol.
As expected the film crashed on monday now if compare to kick has collected 14cr also there was pre eid period and we know that on tuesday i.e eid day kick collected 28cr where hny will collect 12-13cr only. On first wednesday kick collected 21cr so kick has better trends as compare to hny
250 cr is on!!
question- who is most happiest person after watching hny?
ans- saif ali khan cuz now everybody is talking about hny is more worst than his movie. congrats saif.
Difference between HNY game and HNY movie is that in game we can do whatever we want to do man and in movie we can just see what the actors r doing.So HNY game was too much fun but can’t say the same about HNY movie.
HNY has held up well on its 1st Monday collecting around 15 cr.
Drops are inevitable on weekdays & so has been the case with HNY, the 1st Monday collections are on par with other big releases like Kick, Singham returns.
If HNY maintains this & remains steady throughout the weekdays, it will finish its 1st week with collections of around 165 cr.
The film is definitely going to cross the Lifetime collections of Kick & CE.
If it can surpass Dhoom 3 or not remains a question now.
SRK SIR speaks the truth in HNY “Kismat Badi Kutti Cheez Hoti Hai, Saali Kabhi Bhi Palat Jati Hai.” Sat. Sun. & Monday collections prove it.
Jis tarah se manipulation ho raha hai 100 cr alag se banega only from manipulation #NewRecord
HNY Low opening wekend in overseas market its all over now 4 hny.foreigner r nt fools who wil watch Crappy film.ths week hny wil comes 2 end

@ arjun kapoor- who declared hny is big hit didi of srk in kolkata? wait at the end it couldnt reach at 200 crore trade figure so with 150 crore it will get only semi hit or hit verdict. lol on your knowledge.
