Call me biased, but when it comes to Shah Rukh Khan, there’s nothing that I don’t LOVE! Needless to say, I totally enjoyed watching his latest release, Happy New Year. Packed with comedy, action, romance, drama and loads of fun moments, this flick left me with an ear-to-ear grin plastered on my face.

Considering the movie has garnered a collection of more than 44 crores on the opening day, it’s quite evident that it had a similar impact on thousands of others too! So I decided to pick out 21 things about this film that made me (and maybe you too) smile.

1. Shah Rukh Khan’s KICKASS dialogue delivery

“Duniya mein do tarah ke log hote hainwinners aur losers.”

Kismat bahut kutti cheez hai.”

2. Shah Rukh Khan’s eight-pack abs and those dimples

*Drools*

3. Shah Rukh Khan’s power-packed action sequences

The king of romance can also be the emperor of action. Hence, proved.

4. Shah Rukh Khan’s unbeatable charm

Be it the film’s female protagonist, Mohini or your next-door neighbour, Rohini – every girl is bound to fall for this man!

(PS: Pardon the SRK loyalist in me for going on and on about him.)

5. Abhishek Bachchan’s comic timing

The nagoba dance was EPIC, isn’t it?

I saw EVERY man (and, well, most women too!) in the theatre swooning over her during her sensuous number, Lovely.

20. Farah Khan’s direction

I sincerely thank the Lord for giving her enough strength to recuperate from the tragedy titled Tees Maar Khan. On a serious note, we love Farah for taking us on a joyride called Happy New Year.
