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.

SRK : Mere baare mein itna mat sochna is baar bhi mein “JHUND” mein aaya hun akela nahi !
Srkians – “Srk is d King Of B’wood, Global Star, Best Actor, Handsome etc. Hence these statements prove dat they live in parallel universe!
SRK film always release with other movies…..if he had chance to run his movies 15 or 20 days without any competition……….all records will be broken ……………….he is not a actor like Amir n Salman …..he is charismatic actors around the globe ……….If Amir and Salman movies faced any competition then they are washed out …………….!!!! SRK always prove that he can break his own barrier ……He can be a romantic hero, then he can be cop and he can be south hero……….SRK rock always……Sallu ka movie only EID mein release hota hey …….other than EID his movies business going down ……..kick doing business for this …it not faced any competition in the theater…………….!!!!!!!!!!!
@haters
All of you dont consider Srk a big star so dont worry plz,Diwali ,pre diwali,post diwali will not effect the business……………..But even haters know when he start with thrashing record then he even finish with new records…So dont be insecure lot depend on content…………

@Navin bhai 3.20am comment..killer!!! :D
@fahim : Name a Srk movie where he played a cop n gave it as Hit ?? 1 2 ka 4 was a super flop !!!!!!
@sss : tuh khawab dekhta jaa aur aage aage dekh kya hota hai HNY ka !!!!!! Lolzzz
SRK do what ever you want , apply new stradgies but all invain because at the end of the year all the records set by HNY will get f***ed…..!!!! Because Aamir khan is back with a bang in PK….bollywood records R.I.P..:)
You call Salman’s Kick non holiday but it actually is. He released it right before Eid and the fact that Eid was not a weekend day gave him yet another day of roaring collections. SRK should consider morning previews on 23rd Oct and the actual release on the 24th.
Srk’s stardom lies on such things.. like Yrf, dharma, festivals.
Unlike odrs who had never played safe as him still surviving for 20-25 yrs n has a self made stardom. i.e. Salman, Akki, Ajay..
Let srk do a muvi on non holiday n see d result. does it do like RR n YJHD.
so this step no big deal.
@sandeep please tell me why saif is not a big star even when he had yrf with him…. FOOL
SRK just loves to blow his own trumpet because of his insecurities that’s y he drinks so hard gets drunk because that is when he is able to express his inabilities, admits to bribes for awards oh poor poor fellow feel so sorry for him he is so afraid of himself. Salman or Aamir don’t care too hoots about awards, beating others records etc Salman is only interested that his fans are satisfied with his movies and nothing less nothing more. Its the media who emphasises this war. Once Salman movie does not lose money that’s alright but only BW actor to have 7 100 Crores films in a row. HNY with Farah Khan oh give me a break what happened to her last outing.
Once srk crossed 100cr his every movies collected 100cr that’s not a big deal that salman have 7 back to back 100cr grosser…..srk have also 4 back to back and 5 back to back 200 cr grosser
@anand,ha ha,lol. KING KHAN GAVE 10 BACK TO BACK HIT .but sallu couldn’t give even 6back to back hits even appearing after 1year gap.so pity.so 5bb becomes 6-100 CE films at last,lol.now even 1st day collection of d3 also willbblow with out any doubt.no one even asks about kock-loser movie which couldn’t beat CE IN WORRLWIDE while struggled to beat domestic with getting 500+screen,higher ticket price and also with no big movies facing like CE.KING KHAN will beat kock’s record in 7-days.wait for THE 1ST 300CR+ MOVIE DOMESTIC OF INDIA.ALSO IN OVERSEAS ,YOU KNOW VERY DISTRIBUTING BY YRF. so don’t compare your Desi star with THE GLOBAL MEGASTAR AKA KING OF.BOLLYWOOD-BADSHAH SRK.
i think this srk movie will geting good result but i think it will not break the record of dhoom 3
