Shaandar is a film which is very confused in its story therefore the film suffers, and gets tedious. The rest of ensemble is good and well casted. Sanjay Kapoor's act is completely absurd, but funny. Pankaj Kapoor steals the show with a absolutely fantastic act. Alia Bhatt gets a very quirky character, and she takes advantage with a spectacular act.
Acting wise Shahid Kapoor does a good job, in a familiar role, and dances like a dream. The rest of the story is about how the marriage happens, and how wedding planner named Jaginder Joginder enters Alia's and Bipin's life. The marriage is a business deal for Bipin's mother so the family business can come out of bankruptcy through the Fundwani's wealth. In present time Bipin's older daughter Isha is getting married to the Fundwains brother, who are completely show offs and only wear gold(they are Sindhi's). Bipin's family despises Alia (except Bipin's other daughter), this is because Bipin's mom and wife look at everything as a business deal too profit money from.
Story wise the film starts off in animation and through this we are explained that Bipin had adopted a girl named Alia who turns out to be a insomniac and a very unique smart girl. Luckily the film is a laugh riot at many junctures,but with so much going on the film has no coherent story. But what Shaandaar ends up being is a spoof on Indian weddings especially those where a lot of money is spent, the film also steps into the fantasy genre, and tries to incorporate a lot of VFX, which is nice, but the film at times its completely totally out of sync and weird, like the mushrooms, and brownie scene. Sadly the film is nothing one excepts, especially after watching the trailer (excepted a rom com with a back drop of a destination wedding), its almost as though the filmmakers wanted to trick the audience into watching the film. And from the Director who made the critically acclaim Queen, the film that swept all the awards last year, well I feel bad for Director Vikas Bahl, because with Shaandaar the expectations were gigantic. Having huge expectations for a film can be a bitch, for lack of a better word. GRADE: F Can be watched with a typical Indian family? YES (But, do you really want to?) The trailer is misleading don't fall for it. BOTTOM LINE: Do yourself a favor and skip Vikas Bahl's epic fail, Shaandaar, because in here, the characters stay awake so that we can catch some shuteye. Not one character is a real deal, and if we had with us Holden from J D Salinger's classic book "The Catcher in the Rye," he would only have one word collectively to describe the film and its tons of characters: PHONEY. Ridiculous jokes, mindless slapstick, and a shade of black-and-white fairytale is what all the film is about. I don't understand why talented actors like Shahid Kapoor and veterans like his father would sign a project which introduces the characters using ugly cartoons. Then there is a cameo by Karan Johar, and I was done for the day.
#Shaandaar movie story in hindi plus
Glittery butterflies coming out of Alia's dress and making Jagjinder throw away his cigarette, impulsive doses of songs because as it turns out both the central characters of the film cannot sleep at night, and blatant melodrama that is worse than Star Plus soaps - the film is filled with fillers like these. The film is basically a fairytale romance with ounces of unnecessary animation all over the place.
The remaining, bigger part is taken by Pankaj Kapur's idiocy, Sanjay Kapoor's ugly tomfoolery, and the writers's butterfly-infested vomit. That Alia has finally found her prince in Jagjinder and would like him to make love to her while she tries to dream a dream munching on a banana is what forms a small part of the rest of the story. The sweet-toothed bride's sister is Alia (Alia "Aila" Bhatt), an insomniac, out of the world princess whose mysterious absence of lineage is the only source of pride in her as she goes swimming at 4 in the morning and collects her father's animated dreams to stay alive. Jagjinder Joginder (Shahid Kapoor) is a handsome wedding planner with a pack of wet sawdust for brain, hired by an over-smart, unknown queen for her granddaughter's union with a shirtless jackass.
This film proves that Bollywood has run out of ideas.
