Encyclopedic overview

Happy New Year (abbreviated as HNY: 2014) is a 2014 Indian Hindi-language heist action comedy film written and directed by Farah Khan and produced by Gauri Khan under Red Chillies Entertainment. The film features an ensemble cast of Deepika Padukone, Shah Rukh Khan, Abhishek Bachchan, Sonu Sood, Boman Irani, Vivaan Shah and Jackie Shroff. The film was planned in 2005 but was shelved for unknown reasons 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 off a diamond heist.

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.
