"HAPPY NEW YEAR" movie review

Synopsis

 It  is  the  story  about  six  losers  headed  by  Charlie (Shah Rukh Khan) . They  plan  to  rob  a  handful  of  diamonds  under  the  security  of  Charan  Grover (jackie shroff)  in  order  to  take  revenge  on him  for the sake  of   Charlie's  father. The  game  plan  is  to  take  part  in the   World  Dance  Championship  where  the  best  of  teams  battle  it  out  to  win  the  title ;but  the  ultimate  goal  of  these  losers  is  to  rob  diamonds.

Cast

Happy  New  Year  has  a  huge  star  cast.
 ShahRukh Khan plays  the  role  of  Charlie  and  he  is  good  as  usual. A  few  dialogues  and  references  reminds  you  of  SRK's  previous  movies . SRK  rules  hearts  with  HNY.
Deepika Padukone:  plays  a  Maharashtrian  girl  and  impresses  everyone  with  her  "LOVELY"  dance  moves,  but  her  character  is  a  bit  limited  when  compared  to  the  other  characters.
Abhishek Bachchan:  plays  the  role  of   Nandu  a  tapori  from  the  chawls .He  brings  a  smile  on  your  face   most  of  the  times  when  he  appears  on  the  screen.
Boman Irani:He  plays  the  role  of  a  safe  cracker  (Tammy) and  does  a  descent job  with  his acting.
Sonu Sood:He  plays  the  role  of  Jag  a  expert  in  explosives .His  great  comic  timing  is  seen  in this  movie.
Vivaan Shah:He  has  nothing  much  to do  in  the  movie  other  than  hacking  the  systems  ,but that  is  what  the  script  restricts  him  to  do.
Overall  there  could  not  have  been  a  better  cast  and  they  are  just  brilliant  on-screen  and   that makes  you  wanting  to  see  more  of  them.
Direction:

The  movie  is  directed  by  Farah  Khan .The  scenes  are  depicted  very  well  and  there  is something  exciting  happening  now  and  then. The  story  is  stretched ,the  gags  and  introductions take  a  lot  of  on-screen  time  and  the  story  should  have  moved  faster  in  some  parts .Other  than  that  the  direction  is  too  good.

Music;

The  songs  are  composed  by  Vishal  and  Shekhar."Indiawaale" , "Manwa Laage"  and  "Lovely" are  very  entertaining  songs, and  many  other  songs  in  the  movie  pop  up  at  the  right moment  and  are  very  good.

Bits & Pieces:
The  only  main  drawback  of  the  film  is  that  it  is  too  long  and  it  could  have  done  with  a better  edit  i  guess . There  are  a  few  flaws  in  the  story  but  they  really  do  not  matter   much.

Overall  HNY  is  one  of  the  most  entertaining  movies  of  2014  which  you  can  watch  with your  entire  family  and  it  is  all  set  to  make  some  new  records  and  spread  happiness.

Rating: 4/5
