Happy New Year

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.

Watched HNY yesterday- And read some of the very sadistic reviews from the critics about the movie too. That is the reason I felt to take time to write down my opinion of the movie. I have noticed that 95% of common people get affected by reviews from influencers. One so and so director liked a review written by any x or y on FB, TADA…that creates an opinion in some 'poor' fellas. I can tell you my honest opinion as I am not biased to anyone not even SRK. India is different from any other country-We have colorful celebrations all throughout the year-so are the Bollywood movies. Most of the Hindi movies make no sense now days- HNY is a Desi Diwali Bash for the people of India -the movie also tries to induce patriotism . First important character in the movie HAPPY NEW YEAR is Atlantis the Palm Dubai Hotel & Resort. The majestic Atlantis is an eye candy which should be enjoyed only on the big screen. Kids would really love their favorite spots for example, Dolphin Bay in Atlantis and the New Year celebrations that happens here. After the interval, I felt, people enjoyed more as I noticed the entire audience in 'Reel Cinemas' (Dubai mall ) burst out laughing .No critic can influence the hearty laugh from unbiased people in the movie hall . SRK didn't show any talent other than his 12 pack body-which too is of course a treat to people of India. :-)

The pun intended scenes in the first half, I found as a taunt referring to the inside movie scoops in Bollywood- especially SRK- Salman fights and the petty Bollywood movie scripts-Match fixing trend in India etc. Many non Hindi speakers won't digest the humor as these are region specific-Marathi girl's sentiments ,Desi accents etc- some lines are included just to satisfy SRK fans. As HNY has a sensible plot for robbery- is better than Hrithik Roshan's "Bang Bang "- which banged our brain with a pseudo Kohinoor Hira robbery story – I have found the script of most of Hrithik Roshan movies adapted from Antony Horowitz children's books-but Pathetically screen played without giving credits to the English author for the great concepts. These are my opinions not referred from any "GREAT" critics so I can only suggest to read the books first before you bang on me to defend .I feel sympathy for other movie directors who has supported the criticisms without watching Happy New Year movie-I am not saying that HNY is a CLASSIC but it is absolutely a 100% entertainer - Before you encourage some crap reviews, you must think of your responsibility towards the society –kindly watch the movie before you show your opinion. I give 6.5/10 for HNY and 5.5/10 for Bang Bang.

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.

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.
