Queue for the morning show

Happy New Year is a film with a thread of patriotism running through it,making you feel proud to be an Indian."Hum India Waale" song is quite nice.Film is very beautiful visually and entertaining with some good songs and great performances by all actors.Sazid Khan and Prabhu Deva are in a special appearance also Dino Morea plays Host of the World Dance Championship.Abhishek Bachchan is in a double role.World Dance Championship seems like Farah Khan's tribute to Nasir Husain's "Hum Kisi Se Kum Nahin" as it had a dance competition between Rishi Kapoor and Tariq.As with Farah Khan movies there are lot of references to many Bollywood Blockbusters which make you laugh and associate more with this film.

From the opening sequence till the end you are mesmerized by the beautiful sets,location and lovely dresses,it has great production value where money spent shows on screen.Deepika Padukone impresses the most with her stellar performance of a naive dance crazy Marathi girl.Daisy Irani is quite funny as Boman Irani's mom.After 7 years Farah Khan-Deepika Padukone - Shahrukh Khan trio are back with a bang.

Vivaan Shah the 24-year-old actor, who is the younger son of Naseeruddin Shah is in a pivotal role of a hacker.Sonu Sood looks macho and Abhishek Bachchan plays a completely wild character.Boman Irani's character is quite inspired by his role in "Shirin Farhad Ki Toh Nikal Padi" where Farah Khan starred opposite him.

Manwa laage is a soulful love ballad and comes again in the finals in second half."Nonsense Ki Night" is a really funny song which pays an ode to all sorts of dance forms that exist.

Shahrukh Khan's fight with Korean Dance Team's Leader is quite breath-taking.And a very catchy song is used in the background music at the beginning of this scene which gives the sequence a different feel altogether.
