recent BOLLYWOOD release - happy new year

1. Happy New Year

   2014 Film
2. 
3. This is the ultimate underdog story where a team of 'losers' win the love of millions in their quest to pull off the biggest diamond heist ever!
5. Initial release: October 24, 2014 (USA)
6. Director: Farah Khan
7. Running time: 184 minutes
8. Producer: Shah Rukh Khan
9. Music composed by: Shekhar Ravjiani, Vishal Dadlani, John Stewart
10. Produced by the superstar's own banner, Happy New Year uses excess as its primary means of communication. Overkill is the only art that the director seems to be adept at.
    She pulls too many rabbits out of the hat but she clearly does not possess the control and sharpness to keep them from haring off in the wrong directions and not returning in any shape to be counted. 
    
    In a nutshell, Happy New Year is a predictable revenge drama, a trashy musical and a lowbrow heist film laced with a surfeit of song and dance routines. 
    
    After a point, its unending, meaningless exuberance and over-indulgence gets a little too tiresome.
    
    Aggravating matters is the 'invincible Indiawale' angle that the director introduces into the plot. Not only is it unsustainably laboured, it also drags the already daft film down into the pits of complete inanity. 
    
    The male protagonist Charlie (Shahrukh Khan) trains his guns on Charan Grover (Jackie Shroff), the guy who framed his father and caused his death.
    
    Charlie puts together a ragtag team to filch a diamond that is to be stored in a high-security safe built by the bad guy. But to be able to do so they must take part in a dance contest.
    
    The crooks and conmen - played by Boman Irani, Abhishek Bachchan, Sonu Sood and Vivaan Shah - are good at thievery and skullduggery but have little talent for dance.
    So bar dancer Mohini (Deepika Padukone) is roped in to get the guys ready for the battle ahead. 
    
    Among all the illogicalities that the film resorts to, none is more ridiculous than the "world dance competition" that a bunch of "losers" uses as a cover for an attempt at a daring robbery of a glittering stone.
    
    The aforementioned competition constitutes the spine of the film and it is very weak and spindly indeed. It just cannot bear the weight of constant overload.
    
    Being a Farah Khan film, Happy New Year also tries to be funny. The actors do all they can to help the director achieve that end by going overboard with their merry hamming. It isn't a pretty sight.
    
    It is obvious that huge amounts of money have been sunk into the making of Happy New Year. It is apparent at the same time that the makers have been exceedingly stingy in the matter of putting some thought into the glitzy effort.
    
    It is all very well for an ageing superstar to go all out to prove that he still possesses the magic of yore, but when the past hangs heavy over the proceedings it is a sure sign that the law of diminishing returns is catching up fast.
    
    Deepika Padukone, given an atrocious accent inspired no doubt by her Chennai Express act, is the eye-candy who has been roped in to provide the feminine counter-balance to the generous male skin show on the screen.

my perception about movies

well my love for movies especially Bollywood movies is everlasting!!!!! Its not that i don't have a liking for Hollywood movies. my respect and admiration for movies like TITANIC , FAULT IN OUR STARS , FAST AND THE FURIOUS etc.
But as they say, the fun and entertaining and "filmy" aspect of Bollywood movies is unbeatable!!! like seriously. Those evergreen movies like SHOLAY , PARDES , DIL, etc.



                                                                         
well Bollywood is criticized for overdoing, repetitive drama , and those all the time romantic and copied Hindi songs!!! but come on, those are the songs which complete our functions, those dialogues which serve as entertainment among friends!!!  Hindi cinema is changing and has diverted from being all the time mainstream ideas. like LOOTERA , 3 IDIOTS etc.

My friend Saylee kunkoilenkar loves horror movies. She says in the movie the the husband finds the perfect gift for his wife Mia. On on horrific night, their home is invaded by members of a satanic cult, who violently attack the couple. spilled blood and terror are not all they leave behind. the cultist have conjured an entity so malevolent that nothing they did will compare to the sinister conduit to the dammed that is now.......
