Another Chennai Express and SRK gotta break the stereotype and grow mature

Rating: 2/10 (26 October 2014)

I won't talk about the story, directions etc but will talk about the cast and their potential and why you should NOT watch the movie. Farah's work I have never appreciated except for Main Hoon Na. She is a good director but needs much more improvement. The movie is rather made to entertain the cheap audience, who don't need a very good joke to laugh at. And Shahrukh should seriously stop romancing actresses who are half his age. C'mon, man! He really needs to know the character inside him. He should start doing some grown ups or supporting mature roles. He is no more a superstar material. Deepika is like OKish in the film. She cannot match the potential of her contemporaries like Katrina or PeeCee, but nice try. Sonu, macho, hunky, did his best and really was good in the film. I didn't understand Vivaan's character so I am not gonna pass any judgement about him. Best performers of the film were Abhishek and Boman, really. They were so effortless and natural that, I guess, the movie worked out only because of these two. So let me put it like this, watch Happy New Year at your own risk. There's nothing new or exciting in the film. But while booking the tickets, just remember one thing that you're simply adding to SRK's bank balance and nothing else. You won't get entertained for sure.
