Happy New Year... at Diwali

Public service announcement: Do not watch George Clooney's Ocean's Eleven right before you go see Shah Rukh Khan's Happy New Year. It doesn't help!

Watched Happy New Year, directed by Farah Khan (who, for the record, is someone I think is immensely talented), and starring the obvious.

This film does not really need a review, cause you're gonna go see it anyway :) as are some 500 Crore others! So here instead, is a list of things i learnt from it...

1. Shah Rukh Khan likes taking his shirt off.
2. Sonu Sood also likes taking his shirt off.
3. Abhishek Bachchan also (surprisingly) likes taking his shirt (and other things) off. 
4. Epileptic seizures are an incurable condition. 
5. ...So is projectile vomiting (and of equally little concern)
6. Some Indian actors (male and female) can act in the absence of a script, dialogues and/ or direction.
7. Indians don't do anything unless driven by patriotism, emotional atyaachaar or both, in good measure. 
8. A film does not have to be perfect (or anywhere in the same ball park as perfect) for you to enjoy it :)

Farah Khan and Shah Rukh Khan (together and otherwise) have made better films, and i sincerely hope that the success of this film does not deter him/her from making them in the future.
