Happy New Year (sometimes abbreviated as HNY) is a 2014 Indian Hindi-language heist comedy thriller film[5] directed by Farah Khan and produced by Gauri Khan under Red Chillies Entertainment. The film features an ensemble cast of Shah Rukh Khan, Deepika Padukone, Abhishek Bachchan, Sonu Sood, Boman Irani, Vivaan Shah and Jackie Shroff. The film was planned in 2005 but was shelved for some reason and Farah Khan went on to make Om Shanti Om (2007), and Tees Maar Khan (2010). The film was distributed worldwide by Yash Raj Films. In the film, Charlie assembles a team of non-dancers to take part in a dance competition at a hotel in Dubai in a quest to pull of a diamond heist.[6]
Made on a total budget of ₹140 crore (US$22.94 million), the film marked the third collaboration of the actor, producer and director; they previously worked on Main Hoon Na (2004) and Om Shanti Om (2007), the latter of which also featured Deepika Padukone as the female lead in her debut.
Happy New Year was released on Diwali 2014 in Dubai and India, with dubbed versions in Tamil and Telugu languages. The film gained around 4,200 screens in Hindi and 800 screens in Tamil & Telugu and released on Christmas 2015 in France and United Kingdom, with dubbed version in French, English and Arabic, that was the biggest film release in India.[7] It received mixed reviews from critics with praise for its acting, soundtrack, humor, cinematography, production design and VFX, but criticized its writing, length and pace. It grossed ₹44.97 crore (US$7.37 million) in India on its opening day which was the record for the highest domestic opening for an Indian film at that time and eventually grossing a total of ₹342 crore (US$56.04 million) worldwide.
At the 60th Filmfare Awards, Happy New Year received 2 nominations – Best Supporting Actor (Bachchan) and Best Female Playback Singer (Shreya Ghoshal for "Manwa Laage"). The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences features the film's script in their library.[8]
