Remember that "Three Fools Bollywood"? It is precisely because of this film that many people have reversed their perception of Bollywood films. If you still remember it to this day, you can't miss the latest Bollywood blockbuster, New Year's Action. If nothing else, its box office performance in India has already been a big surprise: "Three Fools", as the first film to break through 2 billion rupees in the Indian domestic market, this record has been maintained for three years, but it was easily broken by "New Year's Action" in just one month, and the latter has more than 100 million viewers!
So, what is the magic of this "New Year's Action" that will make so many people flock to it and go crazy?
In addition to the strong personal charm and box office appeal of indian national treasure superstar Shah Rukh Khan and the popular actress Deepika Padukuni, the content and quality of the film itself also highlight its strength as a super commercial blockbuster.
Its plot is actually relatively simple, mainly telling the male protagonist Charlie (played by Shah Ruk Khan) in revenge for killing his father, and his friends formed the "New Year Dance Bandit Group", joined forces to launch a revenge mission code-named "New Year Action", and designed to take away the treasure story of the villain's heavily guarded sky-high diamond by participating in a dance competition representing India. However, it is not simple that this drama is like a song and dance version of "The Devil Thief Group", and the film of the Lively and Joyful Spring Festival Gala combines the traditional culture of India with modern elements very cleverly, and it will not make people feel abrupt at all.
Taking the song and dance section as an example, those who have a little knowledge of Indian cinema will surely find that almost every Indian film has essential singing and dancing clips. In other words, in other countries, song and dance films are only one of many genre films, and for Indian films, except for a few too niche literary films, song and dance are an inevitable element of all genre films. Such a way of presentation, of course, The Indian audience is used, but for foreign audiences, it is more to see, especially when it is found that many song and dance sections are rigidly inserted, there is no logic to speak of, it is inevitable that people will criticize, and "New Year Action" has made a lot of effort on this issue, it will skillfully integrate some song and dance bridges into the plot through the main line of "Song and Dance Competition", and even let it become part of the plot, narrative song and dance are not wrong, and the development of the story is promoted in addition to singing and dancing. In this way, not only can the audience who like song and dance films can see the wonderful song and dance show, but also let the audience who like drama films not be disgusted.
In addition, in the other main line of the film, "Revenge for The Treasure", in addition to integrating many hot and cool elements such as action, espionage, adventure, etc., the element of "computer hacking" also plays a key role, which not only enhances the fun of the film, but also enhances the sense of technology and fashion of the film, coupled with the opening and closing, beautiful song and dance, fireworks, overhead shooting of Dubai and other large-scale scene shots, as well as the male goddess or sexy hot, or witty treasure hard performance, It also makes this film not only highlight the national characteristics and exotic style, but also present the international style of typical Hollywood commercial blockbusters.
However, if it comes to the most touching people in the film, it is still the full of positive energy that the film wants to transmit. Although this is a story of revenge for the treasure, it is not handled too bitterly. The characters played by the 6 main actors have their own bitterness or dissatisfaction in life, but they first have the courage to challenge fate and put it into practical action, and then they are willing to risk their lives to fight for personal dignity and national honor, so that even if there is no song and dance scene, it will make people see blood boiling!
Fate is a slut, it makes you encounter all kinds of injustices, but at the same time, it often gives you a second chance to choose. How to seize new opportunities, play a beautiful turnaround battle, stride forward to become a winner in life, look at "New Year Action" in the new year, maybe, you will find the answer.
