Indian Film: HAPPY NEW YEAR (HNY)

Hello it's Bilal again, today I will do a blog about another action-comedy musical and a heist film which is called HAPPY NEW YEAR, it is sometimes referred as HNY, this film is considered to be one of the 2014's classics and one of the biggest hits ever. Here is an image and a trailer of the movie.

I will now tell you what this film is about in a short summary. This action-comedy musical heist film is about CHANDRAMOHAN "CHARLIE" SHARMA is a street fighter who has been yearning for revenge from the renowned security supplier and owner of Shalimar Securities, CHARAN GROVER for eight years. GROVER labelled CHARLIE's father, MANOHAR SHARMA, a businessman as a thief because GROVER had conned MANOHAR into stealing his own diamonds worth $15 million. CHARLIE finds that emeralds worth 300 crore ($39.48 million) will reach the Atlantis Hotel, Dubai on Christmas Eve. He wants to steal the same emeralds and frame GROVER.To accomplish this, he assembles a dynamic team consisting of Ex-Captain JAGMOHAN "JAG" PRAKASH, a hard-of-hearing strongman, TAMMY IRANI, an old and seizure-prone safecracker and MANOHAR's best friend, ROHAN SINGH, a young intelligent hacker and JAG's nephew, and a lookalike of CHARAN's son VICKY GROVER named NANDU BHIDE.

TAMMY is the only one who can open the vault. The team finds out that room 9C, connected to the vault through a duct system, is booked for teams participating in the World Dance Championship (WDC). The group refuses, but CHARLIE re-motivates the group, convincing them to become a dance team. A flashback shows that CHARAN GROVER met MANOHAR and gave him a contract to build an impenetrable vault, Shalimar. After the vault was completed, CHARAN drugged MANOHAR and conned him into stealing the diamonds by using his fingerprints. The film returns to the present, where the groups tries to employ a dance instructor, to no avail; in desperation, NANDU introduces CHARLIE to MOHINI, a Marathi bar dancer, who is impressed by CHARLIE's English accent and eventually agrees to help them learn dancing, unaware of their intentions. CHARLIE and MOHINI grow very close.

They manage to qualify in the first round and eventually win the competition to represent Team India in the WDC by gaining votes through hacking. Many viewers despise them for their lack of skill, but CHARLIE and his team (sans MOHINI) are all only concerned with the heist. In Dubai, Team Korea is especially hostile towards Team INDIA even GROVER, CHARLIE has a fight with Team Korea's leader after CHARLIE sees the leader trying to hit his team members smallest kid, At the semifinal, CHARLIE saves a Korean member from severe injury or death, instantly gaining respect and admiration from the audience. After going over the plan, everything is ready. Unfortunately, the team learns that the diamonds will arrive on New Year's Eve instead of Christmas, which impedes the heist. Luckily, India advances to the finals after judges are moved by CHARLIE's action.

MOHINI ends up hearing about the heist, angrily confronting CHARLIE and his false motivations of the competition. CHARLIE reveals that MANOHAR is actually dead; following the arrest, he appealed for a trial, but GROVER bribed MANOHAR's lawyers and tampered with the evidence. MANOHAR, with all hope lost, slits his wrist. However, the team makes their determination to avenge MANOHAR even stronger, including TAMMY. MOHINI joins the team and helps them with the heist.

The night of the final round, the heist is set in motion. MOHINI lures VICKY into an elevator, where his thumbprint is copied on NANDU who opens the chamber. They open the crack but CHARLIE and TAMMY find another glass safe which houses the diamonds that can open only by a 7-digit password. TAMMY realizes that MANOHAR built this safe. CHARLIE opens the safe later after deep thought, realising that the password to open the safe was his own name. After stealing the diamonds, the team boards a boat, but MOHINI refuses to come as she feels dedicated to protecting India's honor with the competition. ROHAN joins her as well, leading to a fight amongst the remaining members.

When Team India is found missing, GROVER claims that they are the thieves. As he watches MOHINI perform, the other members also join her. Soon after, CHARLIE makes an appearance and eventually helps the team win the competition. With any and all suspicions removed from Team India, CHARAN and VICKY GROVER are arrested. CHARLIE reveals himself to CHARAN and slips in his pocket the same razor blade MANOHAR slit his wrists with, completing his revenge. Team India reach the airport and manage to bypass security. CHARLIE camouflages the diamonds in his soft-drink, but the security guard disposes of it. Later, during the flight, CHARLIE reveals that he switched the fake diamonds on the trophy with the real ones. The team reaches India.

In the post-credits scene, MOHINI opens her own "Dance School" and CHARLIE proposes to her with a ring made from one of the diamonds. Everyone then laughs at NANDU, who is thrown out of the bank for showing a winners' cheque. ROHAN finally gains immense popularity among the girls, while JAG takes over directing the film being made earlier, with the original director now the bomb controller. TAMMY now has many of the elderly ladies chasing him as their hero and everybody became very rich. Having been given a long-term sentence, CHARAN and VICKY GROVER are now seen in a Dubai city jail, still pleading for their innocence.


In my opinion I love this movie, I love the story, the songs/music, the comedy-drama, the action and all the actors who acted in this film, I suggest you should watch this to it's very good.
