Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.

The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity

One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

It is both painfully honest and laugh-out-loud funny at the same time.

I like these big productions out of India. This one is fun, funny, and lavish. Lots of costumes, expansive sets, great lighting. My favorite part, however, was the CREDITS! That's right, the credits are fun too, for each group —gaffers, electricians, makeup—all get a chance to dance too. Very original and fun idea. And the robbery? Suspend disbelief and enjoy the show.

A motion picture without serious dramatic content, a weighty message, or intellectual depth, which serves simply as enjoyable entertainment. This is according to Google the characterization of a popcorn movie. And this is exactly what Happy New Year is to us as a family. It is packed with lots of fun scenes and we keep going back to watch them. The songs are catchy and although not of Indian origin our kids started to sing along. The cast seemed to have a good time making the movie and has definitely found some new fans here in Switzerland. I would definitely recommend this movie to anyone who likes to enjoy himself and has a big bag of popcorn at home.

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.

This film is just awful... awful. What has happened to Bollywood? I struggled through just over 30 minutes of this. After which I just had to switch it off. What was so bad you're wondering?The movie starts with an unrealistic firework display (Bollywood CGI at work), followed by an even more unrealistic fight scene where SRK was paid to take a dive but 'lost control' when the opposing fighter called his dad a thief. This is followed by Jackie Sheroff with the most unconvincing accent giving a press statement. Apparently this press statement is the right time for SRK to start building his team and putting his 'plan' in to motion. His team is a deaf guy who loves showing off his six pack and gets 'upset' when anyone says anything about his mother; a computer hacker who can't make it with the ladies and an old guy who has ladies falling over themselves but lives with his mum.Boman Irani's comedy... if it can be called comedy... is cringe- worthy. I mean its really bad. And not forgetting the worst performance by far was Abhishek Buchchan. Let's just say the apple has fallen very far from the tree. I don't know if Deepika was any good because I didn't get that far in. I have to ask what was Shahrukh Khan thinking? What I find even more unbelievable is that this nonsense is the most expensive Bollywood movie to be made? If IMDb would allow I would give this a minus rating. Save your money and your time and watch Mohabbatein or Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham again. Trust me you'll have more fun.
