The movie features a star-studded cast led by Shah Rukh Khan as Charlie, an ex-convict who assembles a team of misfits to pull off a major diamond heist during a dance competition in Dubai. Other prominent members of the ensemble cast include Deepika Padukone (as Mohini), Abhishek Bachchan (as Nandu Bhide), Boman Irani (as Major Krishna Rao), Sonu Sood (as Jag), and Vivaan Shah (as Little Johnny). The plot revolves around Charlie and his team trying to win the prestigious competition and simultaneously execute their grand robbery. The movie blends action, comedy, romance, and dance, with extravagant song-and-dance sequences, including the popular track “Indiawaale.”

The film’s music, composed by Vishal-Shekhar, played a pivotal role in its commercial success. “Happy New Year” became one of the highest-grossing Bollywood films of the year and was well-received for its entertainment value, while also drawing attention for its larger-than-life action sequences and heartfelt moments. Farah Khan’s direction and Shah Rukh Khan’s charismatic performance were key highlights of the film. The movie also marked a successful collaboration between Khan and Farah after their previous hit, “Om Shanti Om.”
