Shaandaar

Cast: Shahid Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, Pankaj Kapur, Sanjay Kapoor,Niki Aneja Walia (Vipin's Wife), Sanah Kapoor(Isha), Vikas Verma(Robin), Sushma Seth(Mummy Ji) and Karan Johar
Director: Vikas Bahl
Genre: Comedy, Drama, Romance



Absolute waste of time and money. It doesn't fit in any of its proclaimed genre!




You may look forward to:

• Shahid Kapoor looks refreshed. Do not exactly remember which was his last movie, but in this one he definitely returns his boyish charm back with a pinch of manhood with that beard :)
• Alia Bhatt is the only good reason to watch this film. Not for her acting skills, but for her bubbly appearance. She is like a fresh wave after all the mature movies she has been doing, this one certainly puts her back on the list of teenage boys :)
• I liked the pairing of the duo Pankaj Kapur and Niki Aneja Walia. Pankaj Kapoor is undoubtedly cute oldie. Niki Aneja bearing uncanny resemblances to Madhuri Dixit, every inch a flavor of a rich woman :D
• Sanah Kapoor and Vikas Verma are in the category of sweet casting :) Sanah is adorable while Vikas Verma is exactly as the caricature for him, a dumb-ass!
• Sushma Seth and Karan Johar, are appealing appearances, don't have elaborate roles but are good to the eyes. I personally loved the cameo of Karan Johar :)
• Music of the movie may not be chartbusters, but they look pretty grand on screen, as well the costumes and choreography, along with amazing cinematography, is a treat to the eyes! After all, when the movie is based on wedding theme, music of the film gotto be looking good :)

What you can sleep over:

One cast of the film, which on the face of it is a dampener is that of Sanjay Kapoor. Although i wont count him as one, since he doesn't appear to be a difficult bite to digest given the fact the story itself is trash!





The dampeners you should be aware of:

The biggest and the only reason why you shouldn't go for this movie even after all those pluses is the lack of a story. With all the star cast and grand sets and loads of money wasted, this film fails to entertain. There is not much chemistry or romance between the lead couple which would make them stand out! There are certain scenes in which you actually would want to kill yourself for watching it! This film is a classic example of how can things go wrong if you forget to add content!






My Rating: 2.5/5 (Only for fresh faces and music)

1- Poor  2-Average  3-Good  4-Very Good  5- Outstanding
