Happy New Year (sometimes abbreviated as HNY) is a 2014 Indian Hindi-language action comedy film[6] directed by Farah Khan and produced by Gauri Khan under the banner of Red Chillies Entertainment. The film features an ensemble cast of Shah Rukh Khan, Deepika Padukone, Abhishek Bachchan, Sonu Sood, Boman Irani, Vivaan Shah and Jackie Shroff. It was distributed worldwide by Yash Raj Films.[7] The film marked the third collaboration of Khan with the director; they previously worked on Main Hoon Na (2004) and Om Shanti Om (2007), the latter of which also featured Padukone as the female lead.

Made on a total budget of ₹150 crore (US$18 million), Happy New Year ranks among the most expensive Hindi films. The film was released on Diwali, 24 October 2014 in three different languages: Hindi, Tamil and Telugu with around 4,200 screens in Hindi and 800 screens in Tamil and Telugu, the biggest release for a Hindi film in India at that time.[8] Despite receiving mixed reviews from critics, it grossed ₹50 crore (US$6.0 million) in India on its opening day, setting the record for the highest-first day collection made by an Indian film to that point, and over ₹400.03 crore (US$48 million) worldwide in full theatrical run, becoming among the highest-grossing Bollywood films of all time. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences features the film's script in their library.[9]

Plot

Chandramohan "Charlie" Manohar Sharma (Shah Rukh Khan) is a street fighter who has been yearning for revenge from renowned businessman Charan Grover (Jackie Shroff) for eight years. Grover labeled Charlie's father, Manohar Sharma (Anupam Kher) as a thief because Charan had conned him into stealing his own diamonds worth $15 million. Charlie finds out that emeralds worth 300 crore($39.48 million) will reach the Atlantis Hotel, Dubai on Christmas Eve. He wants to steal the same emeralds and frame Grover. To accomplish this, he assembles a dynamic team consisting of Ex-Captain Jagmohan "Jag" Prakash (Sonu Sood), a hard-of-hearing strongman, Tehamton "Tammy" Irani (Boman Irani), an old and seizure-prone safecracker and Manohar's best friend, Rohan Singh (Vivaan Shah), a young intelligent hacker, and a lookalike of Charan's son Vicky Grover named Nandu Bhide (both played by Abhishek Bachchan).

Tammy is the only one who can open the vault. The team finds out that room 9C, connected to the vault through a duct system, is booked for teams participating in the World Dance Championship (WDC). The group refuses, but Charlie re-motivates the group, convincing them to become a dance team. The film moves to a flashback— Manohar met Charan Grover and was given a contract to build an impenetrable vault. After the vault was completed, Charan drugged Manohar and conned him into stealing the diamonds by using his fingerprints. The film returns to the present, where desperate to win the national-level competition, they employ many dance teachers, but to no avail. In desperation, Nandu introduces Charlie to Mohini Joshi (Deepika Padukone), who is a Marathi bar dancer. Mohini is impressed by fluent English used by Charlie from the very beginning and eventually agrees to help them learn dancing, unaware of their intentions. Charlie and Mohini grow very close.

They manage to qualify in the first round by blackmailing the judges with nude photos and eventually win the competition to represent Team India in the WDC by gaining votes through hacking. Many viewers despise them for their lack of skill, but Charlie and his team (sans Mohini) are all only concerned with the heist. In Dubai, Team Korea is especially hostile towards Team India, including Grover, their sponsor. At the semifinal, Charlie saves a Korean member from severe injury or death, instantly gaining respect and admiration from the audience. India advances to finals after judges are moved by Charlie's action. Team India becomes loved by all. After going over the plan, everything is ready. Unfortunately, the team learns that the diamonds will arrive on New Year's Eve instead of Christmas, which impedes the heist.

Mohini ends up hearing about the heist, angrily confronting Charlie and his false motivations of the competition. Charlie reveals that Manohar is actually dead; following the arrest, he appealed for a trial, but Grover bribed Manohar's lawyers and tampered with the evidence. The next day, Manohar committed suicide by slitting his wrists. Charlie kept this a secret to avoid demoralisation. However, the team makes their determination to avenge Manohar even stronger, including Tammy. Mohini joins the team and helps them for the heist.

The night of the final round, the heist is set in motion. Mohini lures Vicky into an elevator, where his thumbprint is copied on Nandu who opens the chamber. They open the crack but Charlie and Tammy find another glass safe which houses the diamonds that can open only by a 7-digit password. Tammy realizes that Manohar built this safe. Charlie opens the safe later after deep thinking, realising that the password to open the safe was his own name. After stealing the diamonds, the team boards a boat, but Mohini refuses to come as she feels dedicated to protecting India's honor with the competition. Rohan joins her as well, leading to a fight amongst the remaining members.

When Team India is found missing, Grover claims that they are the thieves. As he watches Mohini perform, other members also join her. Soon after, Charlie makes an appearance and eventually helps the team win the competition. With any and all suspicions removed from Team India, Charan and Vicky Grover are arrested. Charlie reveals himself to Charan and slips in his pocket the same razor blade Manohar slit his wrists with, completing his revenge. Team India reach the airport and manage to bypass security. Charlie camouflages the diamonds in his soft-drink, but the security guard disposes of it. Later, during the flight, Charlie reveals that he switched the fake diamonds on the trophy with the real ones. The team reaches India.

In the post-credits scene, Mohini opens her own "Dance School" and Charlie proposes to her with a ring made from one of the diamonds. Everyone then laughs at Nandu, who is thrown out of the bank for showing a winners' cheque. Rohan finally gains immense popularity among the girls, while Jag takes over directing the film being made earlier, with the original director now the bomb controller. Tammy now has many of the elderly ladies chasing him as their hero. Having been given a long-term sentence, Charan and Vicky Grover are now seen in a Dubai city jail, still pleading for their innocence.

Production

Development

Plans for the film began as far back as 2005 with an ensemble cast of Amitabh Bachchan, Sanjay Dutt, Uday Chopra, Shah Rukh Khan, Juhi Chawla, Manisha Koirala, Ameesha Patel, Priyanka Chopra, Raveena Tandon and Zayed Khan.[16] The film was shelved for unknown reasons and instead, Farah Khan made Om Shanti Om (2007), which featured Khan and Padukone. After her film Tees Maar Khan (2010), Farah began to consider the possibilities of the film and screenwriting was completed by October 2012.

When the film was revived, the filmmakers wanted an established actress in the lead role opposite Khan. In December 2012, media reported that the makers had approached Priyanka Chopra for the role, who was their first choice for the film after the script was revamped.[17] However, Chopra turned down the film due to dates issue; the schedule was clashing with another film she had signed.[18] Several actresses were considered for the role, such as Sonakshi Sinha, Asin, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Parineeti Chopra and Katrina Kaif,[19] however, Padukone was finalized, making it her third film opposite Khan following Om Shanti Om and Chennai Express (2013).[20] Khan was reported to be playing the role of a con artist in the film which had Deepika in the role of a Marathi dancer. At a point, John Abraham was to play one of the supporting roles but Sonu Sood replaced him.[21] Boman Irani was confirmed by the director during an interview. In August 2013, Jackie Shroff was finalised to play the film's antagonist.[22] The director's brother, Sajid Khan, would be making a guest appearance while actress Malaika Arora Khan was also signed to appear in a cameo.[23] Vivaan Shah was reported to play the role of a computer hacker. Actor-director Prabhu Deva performed a dance in a cameo.[24]

Filming

Farah made the official announcement on Twitter.[25] The first schedule of filming started in Dubai in early September 2013.[26] Arabian Business reported that a major portion of the film will be shot in the prestigious Atlantis, The Palm.[27]

On 23 January 2014, Shah Rukh Khan was injured while shooting at JW Marriott Hotel, Mumbai. Though reported as minor at first, he suffered a fractured shoulder[28] and a torn left knee patella, being advised rest for a while.[29]

Mehboob Studios was used as one of the major locations while certain portions were also filmed near the Wilson College. The final schedule was completed in August 2014.

Costume designs

Farah Khan wanted Shah Rukh Khan to grow his hair long so that he could sport shoulder length tresses.[30]

Marketing

For promotion, digitally personalized posters written in cast members' handwriting were made available to social media users.[31]

The film's cast and crew, along with rapper Yo Yo Honey Singh and actress Madhuri Dixit travelled on a promotional tour titled "SLAM!". Starting from 19 September in Houston, it took place in New Jersey, Washington, Toronto, Chicago, Vancouver and San Jose. "SLAM!" also continued to United Kingdom on 5 October.[32]

On 13 October 2014, an official game based on the film, titled Happy New Year-The Game was released for Android and iOS. It was made in collaboration with the production company and Gameshastra India, an Indian game art outsourcing studio.[33][34]

Distribution rights

The worldwide distribution rights were sold to Yash Raj Films for ₹1.25 billion (US$15 million), the satellite rights were sold to Zee Network for ₹650 million (US$7.8 million) and the music rights to T-Series for ₹120 million (US$1.4 million), earning a total pre-release revenue of ₹2.02 billion (US$24 million).[35][36]

Reception

The soundtrack gained mostly positive reviews from music critics.

Kasmin Fernandes at The Times of India felt, "As a heist film centred round a dance competition, Happy New Year provides plenty of fodder for composers Vishal and Shekhar and lyricist Irshad Kamil to showcase their way with sounds. And they've delivered, with seven original tracks, one electronic version, a variation, a medley and an instrumental number."[37] Rohit Vats for Hindustan Times gave the album 3 out of 5 stars stated, "Farah Khan looks more concerned about the feel of her film than the quality of the songs, and it prompts her to go with trendy tunes. Overall, the album is average and is only youth oriented. Acquiring longevity will be difficult for this album."[38] For India.com, Prathamesh Jadhav wrote, "It's a mixed bag!"[39] On the contrary critic Surabhi Redkar for Koimoi felt, "Happy New Year album is not as extravagant as the film looks. With an expectation of a Bollywood musical soundtrack, it comes down to a regular album of Vishal-Shekhar. Even though the album will be a hit with tracks such as Manwa Laage and Kamlee, it will not enjoy much longevity."[40]

Controversy

Bollywood film choreographer Saroj Khan reportedly got upset after being parodied in the film.[85] Farah Khan denied having spoofed Saroj Khan. Farah had earlier allegedly spoofed Manoj Kumar in her 2007 film Om Shanti Om.[86][87]

Jaya Bachchan described Happy New Year as a "nonsensical film" and she said, "I only watched it because Abhishek is in it. I told him that he is a great actor if he can act stupid in front of the camera like that." [88][89][90]
