It just does not gel with the idea of the story. There are animation sequences, cute CGI frills and juvenile humor. The director tries to present a film in a very childish way. Likewise, the romance between Alia and Shahid is organic but the script didn’t support the characters in the movie. The best part is the absolute chemistry between father and daughter that looks fresh and natural, their bond are informal and as seamless as friendship. There are some good bits that are woven around these embarrassments. As the wedding is actually a business deal between two families, from there the story turns out to be like an unexceptional romantic comedy. Prince charming (Shahid Kapoor) arrives as a wedding planner to Bipin’s real Daughter (Sanah Kapoor). He wishes for a prince charming to come and help his daughter find her dreamland. The orphaned girl, Alia was brought by Bipin, a golden heart man with wish to have his insomniac daughter fall to sleep. The film starts like a Disney movie with a Pixar twist.
As a result, this two-and-half hour film couldn’t do much justice to any idea. That’s the story, duh!ĭirector Vikas Behl tries to envelope a princess ‘Fairy tale’ into a classy romantic comedy with the Indian wedding scenario. She falls in love with the wedding planner as he was the only one who can get her some sleep. The bride’s (Sanah Kapoor) sister, Alia (Alia Bhatt) is an insomaniac and a najaayaz daughter of Bipin.
To get over their debts, they crack a Matrimonial arrangement between their kids. The film is based on two bankrupt families Bipin(Pankaj Kapur) and Fadwani(Sanjay Kapoor)  but they pretend to be “Ambanisâ€. One can expect some kind of stupidity from KJo but by all odds but surely not from Mr.Kashyap and Mr. The other producers include Anurag Kashyap, Vikramaditya Motwane and One and only Karan Johar. Shaandaar is the film that was certainly not expected from the man who was behind the Super-hit “Queen†yes, Vikas Behl. In a simple language, Shaandaar stands true to the phase “Never Judge a Book by Its Coverâ€. How? Let me explain it to you… The Shaandaar Story line
Well, in a bid to be glamorous and commercially applicable, the director forgets the story. The themes and the ideas at work in this movie are truly skillful, but it seems as if the director is trying too hard to delight everyone with everything all at once. The movie has all the KJo elements in it be the dance numbers, background sound and too many things happening all at once. Well, if the shining faces and the extravagant designer wear is theing you like then surely this could be in your watch list this weekend… One of the most hoped-for “Shaandaar is in theatres with much of colors, smiling faces and gleaming emotions. Cast: Shahid Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, Pankaj Kapur, and Sanah Kapoor
