Sanah Kapoor makes a fine debut, delivering a commendable performance as the overweight bride-to-be. Alia is effortlessly natural & immensely likable. Shahid is decent, but is underused at most parts. Pankaj Kapur is simply FANTASTIC as Alia's father, who's constant Nok-Jhok with real-life beta Shahid, are among the better moments of the film. 'Shaandaar' is saved by its credible cast, who deliver admirably. We can hear the songs on our I-Pods instead! Art & Costume Design are overdone. Amit Trivedi's Soundtrack is good, but it doesn't add to the goings-on & hence it bores. Editing is, at times loose & at times, crisp.
Seriously, Vikas? Cinematography is quite good. Despite some funny moments & its lighthearted approach, this story, overall, has no soul. Anvita Dutt Guptan's Screenplay is a letdown. Another glitch are the songs, which pop-up very frequently, but add nothing to the narrative. The second-hour picks up some momentum & even the climax is weirdly funny. The love-struck protagonists (Shahid & Alia) appear in the watchable bits, but then again, its just watchable, not entertaining. The film begins tepidly & the interactions between the "families" is bland. During this chaos, the wedding planner & the bride-to-be's stepsister, fall in love.
'Shaandaar' Synopsis: Two loud, money-minded, big families come together for a wedding, that would turn them into in-laws. What is eventually served here, is a few moments that provide humour & the cast, who manage to keep you hooked, even when the script fails them.
Reason? 'Shaandaar' stands on a faulty script & no film can rise above that. Director Vikas Bahl scored a century with his brilliant Queen, Lead-Actors Shahid Kapoor & Alia Bhatt have seen inspiring success off late, its produced by the so-called numero uno production houses - Dharma & The Phantoms & yet this BIG-BUDGETED Rom-Com lacks the fizz. #ĭomain Name: HOLLYMOVIEHD.COM Registry Domain ID: 2034965035_DOMAIN_COM-VRSN Registrar WHOIS Server: Registrar URL: Updated Date: Creation Date: Registry Expiry Date: Registrar:, LLC Registrar IANA ID: 146 Registrar Abuse Contact Email: Registrar Abuse Contact Phone: 48 Domain Status: clientDeleteProhibited Domain Status: clientHold Domain Status: clientRenewProhibited Domain Status: clientTransferProhibited Domain Status: clientUpdateProhibited Name Server: ADI.NS.CLOUDFLARE.COM Name Server: TOM.NS.CLOUDFLARE.Its a shame that 'Shaandaar' fails to deliver.
