One of the most awaited films of 2014, a film that reunites the ‘Main Hoon Naa’ and ‘Om Shanti Om’ actor-director duo of Shahrukh Khan and Farah Khan will not release on 23rd October. The film which was earlier scheduled to hit screens on Diwali day, has been postponed by a day. The multi-starrer will now release on 24th October. An official announcement on the same will be made on 14th August.
A source close to the film has also revealed that it was SRK’s decision to release the film on 24th. While most of his blockbusters have released on Diwali, the idea to release the film a day after Diwali is simple – to break opening day box office records.
“Farah wanted to release on Diwali day. It was Shah Rukh’s call to hold back by a day. We were all surprised considering his big blockbusters including Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge were released on Diwali. But I think Shah Rukh feels audiences don’t want to step out of their homes on Diwali day.He feels they like to do Laxmi puja on that day at home.” a source was quoted as saying.
While there are reports that the makers could organise ‘preview shows’ after 6PM on Diwali, Happy New Year has every chance of going on to be the first film to collect more than 40 crore on its opening day.
SRK’s 2011 release Ra One was one of his most poorly received films ever, yet the film easily broke the record for the highest single day collections on its second day. Ra One released on Diwali, Happy New Year will release a day after.
Directed by Farah Khan and produced by Gauri Khan, Happy New Year stars Shahrukh Khan, Deepika Padukone, Abhishek Bachchan, Sonu Sood, Boman Irani and Vivaan Shah.

expecting a BB
lifetime 150 crr,
may tauch 170crr by overdose of promotion
Bang Bang 1st day 42+ crore.
Good decision.. I know there is a sections of people which might not like this.. but reason they wont like is again the same what SRK said to break Opening box office records.. more to it breaking weekend record as well..
..
I mean “the reason why”
lifetime will be below 160 crores
Now forget about any record even it not gonna to cross 200cr
Poor Deepika
HaHa ….That is a difference b/t a Being Human ana a human…
Only Being Human can release his movies before eid (during ramadan)…Wait for Next diwali 2015 .,cheers
Its wrong to ask why SRK fans hate Aamir and Salman. Dono SRK ko 6 saal se football ki tarah maar rahe hai, why will not they hate them.
kicks train scean was much loved..
actual reason….. it was chennai express train… train salman ke samne, salman train ke samne.. TOO MUCH FUN. … Oops bhai daar gaya..oops bhai hadbada gaya..fir kya??? haaai cycle he chut gaai daar ke maare… :D :D :D
Happy for hny that it will break opening record but will have to wait 1 more day for the film. .
Clearly, he wants to break the opening day records.
@Danny ur coment rocks glad that some1 spoke truth
Srk wont survive if he goes holiday less and less promotions
over hyped star
LOL!!! I never saw any other superstars so much in a dilemma abt setting opening day records or any other records (Keeping the media and fans aside), looks like SRK is the one and only actor who really is concerned abt setting a record!
It was very clear how competitive he is and doesn’t want anybody to be better than him, frm the interview in Anupam Kher show. Probably tht’s why he keeps saying “I’m the best!”
Anyway lets see how this movie does!
Even Akki or Hrithik would have done 36 crore if he did Dhoom brand film. Dhoom 3 was successful only coz of brand, not Aamir.
One Aamirian asked a question to srk today on twitter and nailed it the king got tensed after that lol
long live aamirians
HNY is going to Rock. Indiawaale are coing and the Boss of gang is Charlie ….
The only trophy HNY will get is opening n may be weekend records but lifetime wise will finish 3rd or 4th. Srk is more superstitious than Salman & Aamir. He is exactly following same stuff as CE for HNY Promotions & release !!!!!!!!
@Hamza : Thats not genius move. Wait n watch srk will regret this decision later it may give bumper opening to HNY but may fall flat in longer run !!!!!!!!!
This is a stupid decision. SRK should be looking at lifetime collections, not opening records. If HNY releases on diwali it will not break opening records but it will atleast make use of the holiday to increase lifetime.
lifetime 250cr+ guaranteed
@danny that collection was becoz of Dhoom brand,D3 me fardin kya chunky pandey bhi hota to 200cr easily ho jaata…everyone knows d actor who lacks guts 2 come in solo movies n everone remembers wat happened 2 tingulal’s THE-LAASH n dhobi ghat
Best of luck
Last year krish made34 crore on diwali day whereas raone 14 crore pity aye
srk is always doing the same.chasing records of other actors.
Am very happy for another tees mar khan 4 month promotion, fake reports movie earning that much overcese but in reality people hate him get ready po for another don 2
@Charlie Chaplain-WashingMachineaWaley,
While Ajay is genuine that gave Rohit Shetty a Break with Zameen, Charlie Chaplain is just making Rohit an emotional fool playing with his melting point since he doesn’t have father.
Charlie Chaplain’s Faandaa of dealing with people is very simple. It’s not a rocket science
When someone is usable, use him. And when not, throw him out. Like chewing gum. A perfect Robotic Businessman without feelings and emotions!
biggest fearing person is aamir who postpone his movie by 6 month to have no competition, 3 open weeks.
wow great news awesome decision by our King Khan he is a genius now opening day record also will be Brocken.
surely bb..atleast it will make some records for sure… …
