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.
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.
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.
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-.
