Love New Year is one of the most derisorily bad
films to hit the theaters in quite a while. It is embarrassing on just about
every count - the writing, acting, direction, music - there is absolutely nothing
to write home about. Even the mighty Kangana Ranaut cannot save this film, her
expressions and her acting is as odd as a 3 rupee note.
The film was in the cans for a long
time now. It should have stayed there.
If you must know, the story is set
in America, Chicago first, where Randhir Singh (Sunny Deol coming out of
hibernation), plays a Punjabi, he is a bachelor on the verge of hooking up
(Deol is 57 in real life).
In the most ridiculous fashion he
lands up in the wrong apartment in New York and in such an inebriated state
that it would put Keshto Mukherjee’s characters to shame. The apartment belongs
to Tikku (Kangana Ranaut) and she is aghast to see him. Her boyfriend lands up
there and he is even more aghast and throws a fit as if he was auditioning for
a saas-bahu serial.
You really don’t have to know the
rest. The script is super shoddy and the direction belongs to the era of Tutankhamun.
It was hard to find any positives in
the film – reportedly, Kangana Ranaut didn’t want to be released. You can’t
blame her for that and you only wish she had succeeded in stalling it.
