Featured reviews
SRK and Farah Khan Jodi is back with a bang after so many years. Watched this movie yesterday and found this movie to be a complete family entertainer. The shooting locations and very good and very beautiful. The cast selection is very unique and they are different entirely from each other. Every character played there role to the expectations whereas Booman Irani, Abhishek Bacchan and Sonu Sood did very well in their comedy part. The Movie is all about to be understood and being watched with the purpose of entertainment where people are are posting pathetic reviews with pathetic reasons with no brain. The concept of the movie was very clear from the start. Deepika done really well. 8 packs turned the crowed crazy. Watch it with your family and you all will laugh thats a guarantee.
Happy New Year directed by Farah Khan is utter rubbish in the name of entertainment.
Honestly,Humshakals was better than this.
HNY doesn't offer anything new in terms of story,comedy or even direction.
Farah Khan has taken the audience for granted.
Story: Six losers take part in a dance competition.
The plot is weak,the dialogs are lame,the performances are over the top and the direction is horrendous.
The music is fine.
Performances:Shahrukh Khan,Deepika Padukone,Sonu Sood,Boman Irani,the youngster and Jackie Shroff are bad.
Abhishek Bachchan who also overacts does well in some portions though and was the saving grace.
All in all,HNY is waste of time and effort.One out of ten is what it deserves only for the music and Abhishek Bachchan.
Avoid HNY even if it comes on TV

I was entertained throughout the film. Great acting by SRK, Deepika Padukone, Boman Irani, Sonu Sood, and Vivaan Shah. I never really liked Abhishek Bachan that much but he was good as Nandu in this movie. I loved the comedy in this movie and I was laughing for most of it. Jackie Shroff was decent as the villain. The songs were also great. Farah Khan has made another good film that can be enjoyed by people of all ages.
Happy New Year is a stupid movie full of crude humor, but that doesn't mean it's bad. This is a very fun and enjoyable movie. If you are expecting a film as serious as Talaash, don't watch Happy New Year as you may find the humor terrible. There are scenes where the comedy doesn't work and nothing of interest is happening. And when the movie asks you to take it seriously, you just don't because the rest of the movie is full of jokes. But if you like funny family friendly movies, watch Happy New Year because it is solid entertainment.
From A+ to F, Happy New Year gets a B-.

Indians films are quite similar and familiar.Happy new year is fine for Indian audiences who don't take films completely logically. Somewhat the plot is similar to the Hollywood films Oceans Eleven and Italian Job. Anyhow when it comes to rating, 6 or 7 out of 10 is an average rating. Casting was good and so were the locations of shooting. But nothing was so special about this film. Since its and bank robbery film it is entertaining. As for me this film was fine and some of the overrated scenes were predictable, such as the winning of the dance competition finals. Those who are reading this review it is complete fine for them to watch the film if they are fans of Shah Rukh Khan or like Indian type of common films. Well all the Shah Rukh Khan fans wont be disappointed after the film. Some scenes are very overly acted. The fight scenes broke all the laws of physics but was in a comedy sequence. But as for the robbery part everything was practical enough for me. Anyhow this family entertainer will make a blast at the box office.
Firstly, before you watch the movie, expect the worst; that's exactly when you'll enjoy the best.The plot isn't very interesting, but I must say it's new and pleasant. Has some fresh comedy and some great spoofs, quite unusual for Bollywood. It also brings about a sense of patriotism unexpectedly.The First half might be a bit lame, but give it some time.It gives you quite a tour of Dubai, even the Shooting Sets representing Dubai were great; though the set up of India could have been much better and more realistic. Additionally having a great cast suitable for the characters makes it lively.
In short - worth a watch.
