Happy New Year (2014) | Rotten Tomatoes (1)

Namrata Joshi

Outlook

The film plods at the start, with long intros to each of the characters and big doses of slapstick action complete with the cake routine.

Rated: 2/4

Anupama Chopra

Hindustan Times

It is frantic, noisy, gaudy and, largely, joyless.

Rated: 2/5

Shubhra Gupta

The Indian Express

How long can you keep the whole tribute thing going and still make it feel fresh? How much send up is too much?

Rated: 2/5

J Hurtado

ScreenAnarchy

Happy New Year is a brightly colored, obnoxiously loud, brutishly simplistic, yet artfully crafted pile of filmi, overly dramatic conventions and references.

Adi 1 Happy new year is a film which didn't had any reason to go wrong if you look at its cast, budget and crew. But the writing is so bad that the performances feel lazy and the film which is designed to be flashy comes off as bland. The only saving grace is its music. Rated 2/5 Stars • Rated 2 out of 5 stars 04/14/24 Full Review Brazil L That movie was so funny Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/29/23 Full Review Indian c If you write one word for every time this movie shows the finger to logic and sanity, your hand will fall off before the opening credits. Rated 2/5 Stars • Rated 2 out of 5 stars 11/20/21 Full Review Audience Member it is a very increible movie Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Audience Member This took me totally by surprise. I expected just goofiness. I was goofy, but it was brilliant comedy. The characters were great and the plot had great twists. I was actually delighted it was three hours long!
