Shahrukh Khan fans the world over can rejoice. Red Chillies Entertainment has released ‘Happy New Year’ on the internet exclusively for the international audience. The movie will use the ‘direct-to-fan’ (DTF) model so that fans in unconventional distribution markets are able to view on their computer, mobile phone or tablet.
The idea behind releasing the film online, was to reach out to Shahrukh’s incredible fan-base in countries where his films don’t release.
“We at Red Chillies have always taken pride in establishing new trends and delighting our fans. Along these lines we bring the biggest entertainer – ‘Happy New Year’, directly to our fans through online streaming for the first time ever,” Venky Mysore, CEO, Red Chillies Entertainment, said in a statement.
The Farah Khan entertainer will be available on Red Chillies Entertainment’s Happy New Year website, where fans can pay a nominal fee and enjoy the Diwali extravaganza.
Happy New Year also featured Deepika Padukone, Abhishek Bachchan, Sonu Sood, Boman Irani and Vivaan Shah. The film collected Rs 204.6 crore at the domestic box office and grossed more than Rs 360 crore worldwide.
Happy New Year
Torture! We, international audiences, are not gonna watch it even if we are paid money. Especially, after a marvelous film like PK!
happy new year was a gd masala comedy that gt love from most ppl.
waiting for fan
Huge superhit of srk without any novel-rip off of chetan bhagat and taking support of salman’s name in songs like ‘salman da fan’.
Haha.. Arjun kapur has becum a chameleon as he remained silent when anti-salman people were talking badly of arpita khan in AIB show.
Such a disgusting selfish actor arjun kapur . Can’t cross the opening day of raaz3 without chetan bhagat ,alia n dharma.
Idea is right, timing is wrong.
I hv strong gut feeling that fan will b a phenomenal film like pk.only thing that cn go against its collections is lack of Christmas holidays.but fan should still b atbb
Film entertained me most this year(i haven’t watched bang bang & pk yet)
SRK has become insecure on hearing about PK’s success. PK will still cross 300 crores. So SRK, pull your socks up and do films with good directors like Hirani. Kick out Rohit Shetty and Farah Khan kind of directors.
What incredible fanbase…? Seriously lets just get the big white elephant in the room and into the open and once n for all say that this myth of having 3.7 billiins fans worldwide is a complete pack of DYNAMICS (duplication of IDs- not real people)
Aamir has more fans the world over than our King of Middle Earth territory ie Paglapur…!
highest single day collection ever
according to boi?
1. PK – 37cr (3rd day)
2. HNY (hindi) – 36.50cr (1st day)
Releasing this crap now wont affect PKs magic overseas- overseas audience appreciate a good film n stay well clear of craps…
@Navin.. what fanbase of Aamir are you talking about?? Aamir only has fans for his films and unless and until we have a movie that is liked, his movies don’t do well. Talaash is the biggest example of that.
People love SRK. His films are secondary for them. Whether its good or not, SRK fans will watch each and every movie of his.
Stop overrating Aamir. He doesn’t even come close to Hrithik and Akshay when it comes to number of die hard fans.
Agree with @xzone.
Aamir has 2-3 fans on indicine,rest sallu fans supprt him.
He is too clever,makes his fans fool by hiking ticket prices and needs them at the tym of his films.
Srk loves his fans.so does sallu,hritik,akshay.
But this double faced hypocrite can fall to any extent for records.
@navin I m real,yes i like to make fake ids but many people here do that.
Fyi,once akshay and aamir both arrived in jaipur,and the no. of people who went to see aksay were almost triple to those of aamir.
We pray that international audience will watch our kings movie online and will not skip it like when hny was in theaters
whoever trending d “boycottpk” will going to support pk after dis news
forget hny , watch srk’s expression here
from the sets of his upcoming fan! simply too good!
now, iam dying to watch fan. it’s a performance oriented role. and there is no film,
which was performance oriented and srk’s protrayal has been not appreciated in it!
only thrice in his entire career, he has worked in back to back performance oriented films.
first it happened in 1993, where he worked in baazigar and darr(in both he was fabulous).
in both his portrayal was highly appreciated by both critics as well as by general audience!
then it happened in 1994, with kabhi haan kabhi na and anjaam. his protrayal in former was
highly appreciated, once again by both critics as well as by audience. while in anjaam he
was very well-received, and it’s considered by many a performance almost as good as
baazigar and darr. and then it happened in 2004, with swades and veer zaara.
his protrayal in former was immensely praised by both critics as well as by audience,
while latter was much-appreciated. and know it’s happening, with fan and raees. wow.
pk has collected $3.4m in usa in first weekend without any promotion. while kings hny has done only $2.5m lifetime in usa even after doing month long slam tour power of king lol.
Srk ne kya kya nahi kiya is movie ke liye,He Made 8 pack abs,he robbed 300cr worth diamond in the hope film will cross 300cr in India,he went all out in overseas with slam tour to promote film.Result in front of us.
@xzone Aamir had fans because of his films,so you mean to say srk has fans due to his dances in wedding or nautaki in street-cities.Common man srk has superstardom because of his talent and cibsitent good film he did early in his career like baazigar,dar,ddlj,Ka,kkhh,mohabaatein,KHKN.Which also be great success at no.Every actor become huge after good film and success.Moral is that Aamir is an Actor and his main role is to make good films and fortunately due to his sheer ability he got success.
That’s why he is on roll to deliver 4th highest grosser of all time in his last 4 holiday release.Common retarded people accept the fact that Aamir is surpassed all the actors now when it comes to box office or good films.
Talking about talaash Teri king ki Don 2 me Christnas 11 par kya ukhada that,just 16 cr more than despite full on chrimas week and talaash was a non holiday release and it not a sequel like Don 2.
Aamir don’t have following they say,still there 3.7 billion fanfollowingg star chase mnik since last 4 year or so.
Just 2 day before on 18th, I said it is last day of celebration for Aamir haters,And I know I was right.
When the first day figures out,people start to say movie failed blah blah,now look the figures guys.
2 year earlier Dabangg 2 released on 21 DEC 2012,it was a mass entertainer with biggest release at the time of 3500 screens,collected 60cr in first weekend domestic while it was a mass entertainer with extremely popular movie sequal.
3 years earlier Don 2 which again a sequal of a film which prequal itself was remake released on 23rd DEC 2011, with 2700 screen (highest that time) including 350-400 3d screens, as we know 3d screen rates were higher than normal rates collected 48 cr in 3 days.
Why I am talking about these films is because both Dabangg 2 and Don 2 was sequal of successful film having two superstar Salman and srk respectively whose fans claims they alone is ahead than anybody.Both Don 2 and Dabangg 2 were highest non holiday opener that time, now last year released Dhoom 3 became not only highest opener of non-holiday but also of all time which all India figures is still highest than any film till date.
Now with pk when trade figure suggest 56cr also officials are also same that weekend is around 90 cr+ which is higher than trade figure of full fledged holiday rekease CE 87 cr without previews.While PK is not the biggest release ever,even Indicine admit that screen count is less than kick and hny.
Despite being film is multiplex oriented it simply outshined the figure of last year holiday film CE still Aamir haters saying he has no stardom.
With a sequal of successful film both srk and salman on this period just got the same faith at box office which Aamir got a brand dhoom or hirani than I don’t think there fan has any right to bash Aamir stardom.
Even high ticket rates or other factor count the 80% higher figure than Don 2 and 50% higher dabangg 2 it suggest even in worst case pk has same footfalls which these two film had.
Still Aamur has no stardom, an bhai issue jyada stardom to kaisi ki nahi h agar Aamir ki stardom nahi h.
And please don’t say that Dabamgg and Don are not brand at least It has biggest two brand if Bollywood what else you want more.
P.S.-nothing against srk and salman stardom but a strictly some fact and you can say anger of die hard Aamir fan like me.
Guys don’t degrade someone like Aamir who from 11 years has given wonderful films back to back like Lagaan,dch,fanaa,rdb,tzp,3i,talaash and pk.
And two big box office earner of a time with masala films Dhoom 3 and Ghajini.
When the first day figures out,people start to say movie failed blah blah,now look the figures guys.

In Overseas Market SRK always KING
We international audience skip HNY. In Myanmar, if i watch on online hny 3 hours movie minimum my money waste 3000 kyats Myanmar money because internet rate very high. So watching online waste time and money instead watch DVD buy 1 dvd 250 kyats only.
OMG big news is not the return of the lunatic xzone (creator of dynamic or vice versa) but Dynamic saying he likes to create fake IDs more so than changing his lungi daily- well crazy Sir we all knew this all along but real question is how many other xzone loon like IDs has he got hidden away in his wardrobe… The number will be HUGE
@xzone Talaash was a non holiday release and a non mass orientated film which collected only 20cr less than the previous yrs Christmas release of the supposedly super successful CON franchise…. So in language that you can comprehend Talaash did equally good business as Con 2 did or I think better considering Aamir forsake a Christmas release that yr so 90cr plus is a huge figure to be proud of. He didnt manipulate the figures to say it crossed 100cr in the same way Farah/ King did by saying Crappy New Yr just crawled its way into the 200 cr club…! Diehard fans arent ashamed of its collections as it was a far superior film than any of kings recent crapfests….!
do not need tortute again -_-
A nice entertainer, but its length spoiled it completely :(
Hope , SRK will chose his editors cautiously from next time. First, JTHj and then HNY.
Both were excellent in their genre , but one thing was common among these two – Their length, which made them a bit boring.
Hny was a good movie.It was meant to provide entertainment and it fulfilled it
@Xzone Aamir Sir having zero fans is as farcical as SRK having 3.7 billion fans!!!
@Dynamic regarding hypocrisy.. Our king stands out.. Let’s better not get there..
Lol after delivering highest grosser everytime he never got best actor in any popular category since 2008
moral of story – anytime tingu releases film he sends text messages to wrong numbers ie srk haters, hrithik haters, salman haters that is how he delivers 100 and 200cr clubs
