I Love New Year is a romantic comedy that’s neither too funny nor too alluringly mushy. It’s just a posh looking two-hour long feature film. Very forgettable fare.

In a word, I Love NY is ghastly. It’s shoddily shot, terribly dubbed and saddled with an absolutely rubbish screenplay. Ranaut’s rise to stardom has made many want to cash in on her fame. Tanu Weds Manu Returns is a prime example. However, TWMR, for all its flaws, respected Ranaut as an actress and gave her ample opportunity to show off her talent. I Love NY, in contrast, exploits Ranaut’s fame and is ultimately damaging. It’s so bad that you forget Ranaut can act.

I Love NY takes its own sweet time coming to its predictable end, and you can only sit back and note irrelevant details — like Ranaut’s three costumes and debate over Deol wearing a wig, counting his age and wishing him more suitable roles. It is to their credit that both Ranaut and Deol give their unconvincing parts their own best.
Maybe, Mr Kumar is right. Film “nikal jayegi”. Just maybe.
