Happy New Year movie review: Superbly entertaining or a riot?

Unbelievably Flashy, ostensibly gaudy and indulgently over-the-top, call it what you will! But such is the impact of Farah Khan’s directorial venture Happy New Year starring Shah Rukh Khan, Deepika Padukone, Abhishek Bachchan, Sonu Sood, Boman Irani, Jackie Shroff and Vivaan Shah, that B-town celebrities can’t stop talking…err tweeting about it. Yes, those who have watched the multi-star vehicle in all its larger-than-life glory took to the microblogging site to share their thoughts about the movie.

Remember how SRK summed up the movie by employing his wit and hyperactive grey matter?  The megastar called this one an Ocean’s 11 meeting The Full Monty. So far HNY has looked glossy, glittering and all jhattak, but the veterans. And by that we mean these are the names who are known as much for their unparalleled credentials as much for the substantial speak that adds to your super-impressive portfolio. From Big B to Anupam Kher, B-town folks seem to be impressed by Farah Khan’s extravaganza. Here’s what they have to say about the movie!

Amitabh Bachchan: Back from @HNY … it is HHUUUUUGGEEEEEE !!! What mounting for @HNY .. the songs, the story, the performances .. A RIOT !!!

Anupam Kher: @iamsrk’s HAPPY NEW YEAR is superbly entertaining. These India Wale are BIG Winners. Loved everybody in the film. Congrats @TheFarahKhan.:)

Avinash Gowariker: Just saw Happy New Year cast n crew trial! Mind blowing! Hats off @TheFarahKhan for Directing @iamsrk for Producing..#HNY. And Super performances by @deepikapadukone @juniorbachchan @bomanirani @SonuSood @TheVivaanShah #HNY must watch!!

Mohan Kapur: TAKE A BOW #IndiaWaale @TheFarahKhan @deepikapadukone @iamsrk @juniorbachchan @bomanirani @SonuSood, Jackie Shroff, Vivaan Shah & team #HNY

Now, you tell us Indians how will this dram unfold. Do you find it promising enough or do you think it will be just another masala entertainer?
