Hey, readers!
I watched another Bollywood movie.. It's called "Happy New Year" It is produced by Red Chili Entertainment. It was filmed about 3 years ago. Location is India and Dubai.
The ratings is conflicting. See, the critics gave it a low rating, and didn't really like the movie, however, it is to this day one of the highest grossing films yet. Fans love this movie.
I am kind of in the middle. Shah Rhuk Khan is in it, so you know it is going to be a big movie. (And everyone by now should know, I am an SRK fan)
This movie is about a man, Charlie, who, 8 years before, lost his father in prison, and it was caused by a set up by Charan Grover. Charlie wanted to get revenge on Charan, and he does it through a few friends and a beautiful dancer who teaches the team how to dance and win the World Dance Championship that takes place in Dubai.
There's parts that are funny, and cheesy. I do have to add that the Martial Arts in this was pretty good. Shah Rukh Khan does a lot off screen to keep up his physique, and you can see that on screen. He also does his own stunts, and you can see that on screen. SRK puts 150% of everything he does into his movies, and this one is no exception.
I think that this movie is good for a younger crowd, and the humor is all the way through it, but, it doesn't hang on with me like others that SRK has done in the past. I do appreciate this piece of work, It just didn't captivate me from the beginning to end, and that is ok for me, not all movies will. I put the list of cast and characters below, because each one of them deserves an applause.
