Happy New Year (2014)

What makes it different from others?

Expected more

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.

This is what Bollywood is all about. On steroids. With lasers. In Dubai. And in my case, in 4k. The stock characters, the lame comedy, the contrived and impossible story. Never mind. Let's sing & dance. My only minor complaint: except for Korea, the other countries' dancers weren't featured enough. A giant 10, for sure, and it seems that India agrees with me, not the naysayers.

Chandramohan Manohar Sharma, better known as Charlie (Shah Rukh Khan), is a street fighter who has been yearning for revenge from Charan Grover (Jackie Shroff) for 8 years. Grover, with his rich and despicable mind, labeled Charlie's father, Manohar Sharma (Anupam Kher) as a thief because Charan had conned him into stealing his own Diamonds (he stole his own diamonds and framed Sharma for stealing them) priced at INR 100 crore ($15 million). Charlie finds out through the media that diamonds worth $300 crore will reach the Atlantis Hotel on Christmas Eve. He wants to steal the same diamonds and frame Grover. To accomplish this, he must assemble a dynamic team.First in his team is Former Army Bomb Squad Captain Jagmohan Prakash, or Jag (Sonu Sood) who has a hearing deficiency which happened when he failed to defuse a bomb; he gets furious when someone insults his mother. Second on his team is Tehmton Irani, or Tammy, (Boman Irani) who is an overweight jogger and suffers from epileptic fits. It is also revealed that Tammy and Manohar were best friends. Third on the team is Rohan Singh (Vivaan Shah), a young hacker who Charlie believes can hack into Shalimar's computerized system. He is also Jag's nephew. After thoroughly researching about the vault, the team finds the main vault comprises a bio metric lock (fingerprint lock). The problem is that only one person can access the vault at any time.The team heads to a warehouse which was originally their workshop for a rehearsal. It is revealed that Tammy was immensely in love with the Shalimar vault and he is the only one to open the vault without the combination. The real Shalimar vault has a laser shield in front of the vault whose code combination is changed everyday. The team finds out a weakness that the Shalimar safe is in the Altantis hotel underground which is connected through an air duct system which is further connected to room 9C, a lounge room in Atlantis. Charlie then explains a problem, being that room 9C is booked for a team participating in the World Dance Championship (WDC), a dancing competition. The group refuses, but Charlie re-motivates the group, convincing them to become a dance team.

The movie is full of sh*t. Gone are the days when Shahrukh khan used to work in movies like Chak DE India and Devdas.The plot is to predictable right from the start of the movie. Abhishek Bachchan character is unwanted and unnecessary. Deepika doesn't really have anything to do in the movie other than teaching dance which seemed so futile and unnecessary.All in all, one should be able to connect all the dots in the first 30-40 minutes of the movies and can then walk out of the cinema theater knowing the whole story.Disappointing as the words sound. Thumb and all other four fingers DOWN.Shahrukh, please do not make any more movie with Mrs. Farah Khan

This movie is only waste of time. The senior guy Shahrukh should now act as a grand grand parent than the main hero. His age is clearly visible in his dance moves and close-ups. Compared to Tees Maar kha, this is Farah khan's new record of doing worst movies. Her capability is beyond the cast and crew. I believe to show shahrukh better, farah has purposely asked other crew to under perform. That has reduced the overall entertain value. Rather i will say there is no entertain value of this movie. The acting of boman irani is surprisingly low. And the acting of abhishek bacchan is better. As i said this must be the direction gimmick to show aged shahrukh better. for die hard fan of shahrukh khan this may be another way to waste money. i will suggest to give that money to some orphanage rather then promoting such movies.
