Happy New Year (2014)

Podcast Episode Description:

🎬 Shah Rukh Khan, North Korean Dance-Offs, and Bollywood Shenanigans in Happy New Year! 🎬

In this episode of Fear of Stairs: Desi Films Decoded, we’re diving into the bonkers world of Happy New Year, where Shah Rukh Khan leads a ragtag team of misfits in a heist disguised as a dance competition. Yep, you heard that right—it's Ocean's 11 meets Step Up, but with way more WTF moments!

Join us as we chat about:

・ The hilariously over-the-top action scenes that defy all logic and physics.

・ The film’s bizarre take on North Korea—spoiler: they don’t speak Korean!

・ Why Bollywood loves its star power and how Shah Rukh Khan can do no wrong (except maybe this time).

・ The classic Bollywood tropes we can’t help but laugh at, including homophobic ballet jokes and spiky glass landmines.

Whether you’re new to Bollywood or a longtime fan, we’re breaking down all the craziness in a way that’s fun, laid-back, and hopefully relatable.

So grab your popcorn, hit play, and let’s figure out together if Happy New Year is a must-watch or just another overhyped blockbuster that makes you question your life choices. 🎉
