PERFORMANCES: SRK has worked hard on his body for this film and he does a fine job of flaunting it.Deepika puts in sincere efforts but is limited because of the script.Among 6 leading characters,Sonu Sood is brilliant. Abhishek Bachchan performs well too.
MUSIC: composed by Vishal-Shekhar.The songs "India Waale","Manwa Laage" ,"Lovely" are good.
Poor script,predictable which bores u sometimes but it has some very good comedy sequnces,comedy dialogues which will surely make u lough.The film is long enough which is not bearable.Farah Khan is very much inspired by bollywood film industry & patriotism which make huge impact on the script of every film directed by her.
Overall,Happy New Year is ok type film which is better than Chennai Express(personaly I feel that).Its a one time watch.
