It is how it all started. The woman who made her way to life from early rough beginnings into the world's most renowned Director of all times.
I am no critic or for the least Indian but i am a Big fan, A die hard Fan of Shah Rukh khan as they say, his craziest lover and i would love to believe his friend too ( He says my fans are my friends that's why i do feel this way)
Again these two took me in a mad ride after Main hoon na and Om Shanti Om the lethal combo got larger than life itself in Happy New Year. It's not only about the Mega Production, the very sparkling locales and the Lavish A-Class Entertainment but its more about the Team spirit of power, about how to turn from losers to winners just by working hard and believing you can! which you definitely will after you watch this movie! you walk out of the movie theater feeling like "I am the king of the world" Literally!
So, Here i am an Egyptian movie buff who moved out to kuwait 2 years ago just to be able to watch Shah Rukh khan movies first day first show because politics plays football in my country and Instability scores so i wouldn't take any chances.
Booked my ticket on Wednesday night and barely slept ever since. After a big large Morning Black coffee i took off to the mall surfing around the cinescape hall with more hopes and coffee.
when it was almost 5 i went in, preceded with my heartbeats drum roll, took my seat and set all my wildest fantasies free in the dark ceiling, now i am going to watch Happy new year! after that marathon promotions and anticipating wait my excitement had no end!
I won't spoil the story for those who didn't watch it yet but i have to admit the heist is perfectly presented here with such craft that i admired! every person fits in his role like a glove. Great momentum, the film wouldn't ve made it without each and every one in place.
Starting from the Ravishing dazzling Heart smashing Chandramohan manohar as an under ground fighter who loses for money, in the mouth watering fight sequence. we all died and got resurructed watching its bits and workout.
it drops your jaw way beyond your capabilities of drooling, almost 49 the man looks fittest, sexiest and most magnificently ripped and chiseled! a peak into his own personality perfection, he goes the extra mile for his own worth. the pearls of sweat dripping on his bare torso splash your mind and drown your senses in an ocean of awe. How can one man be so full of wonders that he fills you up in a mud rising skin pose ? well, that's Shah Rukh Khan we are talking about so it makes perfect sense! again the word perfect seems to pop up all over my vocabulary , no other word suits this phenomenal human being more.
His suave look, the beard and that subtle confidence in every shot is brilliant! the cinematography of this movie is way outstanding, Hollywood giants should learn from this one. How to glue a viewer 3 hours long to a seat that even pee can't dare to call upon you at intermission.
The characters introductions are hilariously smacking, Jag the ex-army bomb squad soldier Aspiring to be a director, Partly deaf but a complete Jackpot, jumps in the wagon of heart stealers, i honestly didn't know sonu sood before this film but i know now i will be following his every step ahead. He did his role every justice, so sonu yes, will you Call me too ;)
The Parsi Stud Boman irani is flawlessly funny in a very nice way, i saw some bits of Sheren Farhad with his cute mommy and rosy window set. but i like how he professionally gets into his Tammy posture with so much ease and strength.
Then the geeky nephew vivan hops in as the nerd of the gang, first time for me to watch vivan also, at 24 he so wanted to run as fast as the whole team and he did on same pace. It was intriguing since all of them are more engined but he has his pure will to shine and he used it well. Cute smile too!
That brings us to Nandu Jackass..the Sharabi who has a special power of puking, and yeah at some point it became handy as cheesy as it sounds !
Farah always praised Abishceck Bachchan and i thought he is good but why all that fuss? then i know now, He was like never seen before! i first knew him as a struggler in the shadows of the Shahenshah, the emperor of Bollywood who is his legendary father but after Happy New Year, another very well self made star is born. An Abishchek who is out of himself for his role, totally funny, rich in expressions and comfortable at exploring himself. a double role that for us, a double Masa gaya
Mohini, The Loveliest "Lovely" my personal most favorite song after Manwa laage her best intro in a film till date.
After OSO , Deepika took all kinds of turns, but she has it in her that credibility of reaching out with her eyes, the comedy with straight face, like that *slip* bit cracked me up when it was so serious! she is a born to be on top girl.
Deepika is so natural, lavishing moves and super dancing skills the way she burns in her silent love for Charlie touched me most (For all related reasons of course) only she is luckier! getting that dark hearted melting without uttering a word mastermind at her own right
Mohini 's Arrt hai Arrt touched me so much i wanted to hug her everytime Charlie talks and never looks around him first.
The group of losers are after a hand full of diamonds through a world dance championship in Dubai so, the colors, costumes, Music and locations take your breath away! the twist of actually mattering to someone, that sometimes its more about what you can do if you want it enough. the bunch of emotional fools take you to an exciting ride way beyond your expectations.
Jackie made justice to the villain role with his eyes and violent moves. i like his contribution to the squad.
The action Sequences on the roof top are exceptionally wild. scared the hell out of me though! My personal favorite is the VFX work i think the seventh Superhero in this film. Bollywood should be so proud having that kinda well advanced techniques in the most efficient VFX departement so far Red Chillies. Absolutely amazing VFX work! Dazzling is an understatement.
Farah Khan again, "we always go back to where we started from no?" Kismet played fair with you this time. It's right you love SRK and its his aura all over the place but your skillful touches triggers his bullets of excellence and Charm.
You make Him look as beautiful as he is inside out. It takes a real woman to perfectly Expose a Man's Soul in Bare 10Ab's Shot with Mud and Water looking this insanely Khantastic!
And that end credit song is such a beautiful special trade mark of you. Bringing all your Little love bundles in front of the camera especially AbRam was the ultimate awesomness of this experience, HE IS WAY TOO CUTE TO BEGIN ANY KINDA DESCRIPTION! After papa, the Youngest Khan is A Charmer of his own.
The film is a total paise vasool as they say, A full on entertainment in class and Epic sense of humor! that first half left me Laughing my ass out till my eyes teared! and the comedy of the situation (farce) is the hardest of all, yet its flawlessly obtained here.
It's a RollerCoster of Madness that only keeps rising and you don't wanna get off. Happy New year will definitely Rock you Solid
Happy new year is that one experience that will move you and will stay with you forever. Not an out of cadre shot or misplaced expression, every move made sense. Happy New Year Respects my mind and Earned my Respect.
Hats off Indiawaale, you made me laugh, cheer, whistle and tear of emotion with you!
In Happy New Year Everyone is a Superhero, They all have superpowers to recreate you, make you feel powerful! to make you a winner.
Now My Charlie Hangover takes me places that i must take to my other blog for censorship reasons but Seriously Shah, you always say my best one is the next one, A tough task i would say, unless we are looking out for a backless back and frontless front inside out Soul Abs flaunting.
