Reviews
UnowPriceless hyped garbage
FirstWitch A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
Kaelan Mccaffrey Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.
Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
dolonana People, if you are looking for a serious movie, something that is intense and meaningful and has a message, this movie is NOT for you. This is for when you are down and upset and lazy. If you are willing to just watch it for a good laugh and some great music, then you will definitely enjoy Happy New Year. I have seen this movie multiple times and I still laugh at some of the scenes. And not just a smirk or chuckle, a serious laugh out loud.The music is both fun and beautiful ( Manwa Laage is my favorite) and will make you want to dance. Deepika looks beautiful and lovable as her character. Sonu Sood is hilarious without trying hard and SRK just looks like a tall glass of wine (that beard needs to stay on ALL the time, super sexy) Personally I wasn't dead set on having a perfect plot and the perfect story. I was just watching it for fun and it was great. And it actually is funnier the second time you watch it. Just go for it, ENJOY!
Takethispunch 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.
neshasouthport-1 Only reason I decided to watch this, was because it looked like it was getting a lot of hype about it and it appeared in Netflix. Also, probably because this movie has SRK(king of Bollywood) and Deepika (super pretty). This movie is basically a stupid comedy. You know, those types of movies, where everything is just so stupid, you can not help but laugh. It did attempted to be a drama and a romance but, with the sudden switches between these themes, it was difficult to take it seriously. Most of the romance were silly clichés, as well.The silly theme of love at first stuff. Also, it keep showing the main guys' shirtless all the time.I know its probably to get female views because of them have six packs, but it was too much. And not in the way "omg its too much, i can not control myself". More like "are you kidding me, how does this make sense). Two good things about the film is Deepika's outfits (I want them) and the ending dance. That's why my rating is a 5.
jdfeb I went to the cinema to watch this film with our family friend, hoping it to be a good film as Om Shanti Om (also directed by Farah Khan), but the film turned out be heavily flawed. The same story that is common in Bollywood is repeated, so don't expect any new thing in this film.All the songs are bad and forgettable except for 'Lovely'. The lyrics are senseless.But why I gave this film 5 out of 10 stars is mostly because of its entertainment value in the first half and its technical brilliance. The film manages to entertain you for the first half but with old sense of humor. So it can be kept as a third option if you don't have any other movie. The cinematography was splendid and colorful as most of the films nowadays have dull and dark approach. Moreover, the editing was also one of the finest I have seen. Many sequences were quite good and smooth rather than highly flawed shaky, blink and miss shots.What also saves the film from being a total disaster is its use of characters. Each and every main character has an equal and significant role throughout the film which makes them a bit memorable.So overall, it is an only average film and that too because of the bad story and script. The story is the main component of the film and if the story is senseless, then all other aspects of the film are wasted, and this very film is a good example of it.Farah Khan wasted her money on this project and she could have made a movie 100 times better than this one.
