A BORING 70's kinda movie

Rating: 3/10 (25 October 2014)

Happy New Year movie was very disappointing.
A very lengthy movie which is barely entertaining. Just the introduction of characters happen for more than an hour. The team has misunderstood the phrase "entertainment movie" to be a sequence of outdated jokes bridged with dance sequences.
Though packed with quality actors, pathetic screenplay has ruined the movie. HNY is a typical evidence of poor screenplay and direction complimented with uninteresting jokes . Even Sharukh's "signature" dialogs could not help in the movie's rescue. The movie at one point becomes boring due to its predictability and lack of any degree of creativity.
I had taken my family with a hope of Sharukh in the lead role. We did witness few audiences exiting the screens in the middle of the movie. Please do pick the movie-to-watch based on directors and not actors. Or At least wait for the review before you book the tickets.
With marketing and international reach of movies like this, I am worried if the international audience would look down on Indian cinemas and build a wrong perception. Hope quality movies like Swades, Lagaan, Lunch Box. with original story and screenplay too has a good reach.
