Happy New Year - Herzensdiebe

Frankly, I had no expectations from this movie. Considering the track record of Farah Khan movies , it is better not to keep any .Sometimes you might get surprised if the movie turns out good.

Well, this movie turns out to be damn squib. The plot hardly keeps you engaged. The antics of the cast just irritates you. Abhishek Bachchan is watchable though. Rest of them just bore you. A bad choice this one for Deepika Padukone.

The music is disappointing surprisingly from Vishal-Shekhar. The songs are below average.

Final verdict- Totally miss-able.Watch it only if you have lots of spare time.

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.

I like this movie cause it's a good entertainer, moreover, it's the movie of SRK. Who doesn't like SRK movies!! His movies makes you think about the relationships in life, about love, a bond between friends, a bond between you and your country, a bond between you and your family. Though it is not completely a message oriented movie, I like it very much because of their acting. Deepika has given her best but her role is less, Abhishek acted well but in a different way which is entirely comedy. Sonu Sud is good, Boman Irani at his best again. At the end, SRK is truly awesome when it comes to senti scenes yaar!!!! Go for it guys!!!!!!!!!!! It is a good entertainer!

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

This is one of the worst movies ever to come out of Bollywood. Just because it made lots of money does not mean that it is a good movie. Most of the money was made due to huge sums of money spent on marketing and shows prior to the release of the movie. Farah Khan and Sajid Khan have the copyrights to make the worst movies in the industry. The story line of this movie is flawed. Why do they always have to characters which are bumbling, drunk, part deaf, have seizures and don't even speak properly. Jackie Shroff (Charan Grover) needed to be robbed, as he was so foolish that he couldn't even recognize Nandu as his son's double. The songs were too many, movie could easily have been cut short by at least 45 minutes. Poor direction and acting. Boman Irani otherwise such a good actor, lost on count of poor script. Vivan Shah was miscast in the movie. I don't think there is negative stars given for any movie, but to this one I give -10 stars. I am so glad did not watch this movie in the theaters.
