HAPPY NEW YEAR (Movie)

The movie didn't get released on January 1^st nor is slated for a release on 31^st December; however Farah Khan’s Happy New Year is likely to make your day into one big happy New Year since it has everything you want to have in a film. As expected Farah Khan mixes plots of multiple Bollywood and a few Hollywood films together puts them in a jar adds her choreographic magic you get a movie that has dance action romance and above all, a plot divide of logic but with the ability to keep you hooked till the last minute. Charlie (Shah Rukh Khan) is a street fighter who wants to take revenge from Charan Grover (Jaickie Sherof) who was responsible for sending his father (Anupam Kher) to prison. In order to do the trick he needs to find a team of experts and in Oceans X1 style he gets his team in the first half of the movie. By the time the movie reaches the interval he had managed to train his bunch of idiots for the world Dance competition and got them selected for the championship , which was to be held at the same place where the biggest diamond s of all were being kept under lock and key.

What makes the movie watchable are the characters and the dialogues while Nandu (Abhishek Bachan) is a sadak chaap bewra on one hand who can vomit at will, he is also the look like of Vick, the son of Charan Grover hence pivotal to the plan. Tammy (Boman Irani) is an expert locksmith but he suffer from epileptic fits Jag (Sonu Sood) is the muscle man with one ear Rohan (Vivaan Shah) is his nephew who is uncool with girls but supercool with gadget and finally, there is Mohini (Deepika Padukone) who is their dance instructor and joins them very late in their plans. Together they dance when they have to plan a heist when they are not dancing and are well knit like a family who live together. Their plan is perfect on paper only. Thing go haywire as first the leader Charlie gets into a fight with a rival dance team captain they lose the custody of the room that should be their base for the operation their perfect planning flaws and above all the judges can’t be bought. To find out whether they gang manages to take revenge or not  all you have to do is watch Happy New Year   and be in awe of Shah Rukh Khan’s six packs, Sonu Sood’s Mis-listening of words, Abhishek’s antics and Deepika’s ability to drop in at the wrong time. Despite its stupidity time the references to SRK movies like Main Hoon Na Chak De India the song Manwa Laagy, India Walay and the story will keep you glued to your seats for the entire run. The cast also manages to surprise you with their dance steps because one was not expecting Boman Irani to dance like a young man which he does and does well.
