Why the heck of putting in scenes of Karan Johar's interview, Qawwalli song and the sky- diving which causes hindrance to the movement of the film. Music by Amit Trivedi is good but not excellent.
The good news is that there are few engaging moments like the wonderful chemistry between Alia Bhatt and Shahid Kapoor, the interaction between Shahid Kapoor and Pankaj Kapur, the visual appeal of the film and the stunning CGI makes it somewhat watchable. Even though Bahl had wonderful story to tell, but the lethargic pace and superficial drama could not salvage the film from falling into the pit. If the first half is hilarious, fun and has moments to be remembered, second half is thoroughly disappointing. The movie begins with impressive animation telling the story in flashback coupled with subsequent introduction of each characters. However, after watching the film you will be disappointed big time. With big names like Anurag Kashyap and Karan Johar backing the film, it was supposed to be better than Queen. Expectations are sky-high as the film is directed by Vikas Bahl who previously made the National Award winning film Queen. However, little is known to them that both families are bankrupt. Shaandaar talks about a business deal between two families at the backdrop of destination wedding theme in the countryside of UK.
Shaandaar takes one step further by exploring the destination wedding theme but turns out to a forgettable affair. Monsoon Wedding, Hum Aapke Hain Kaun, Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, Band Baja Baraat etc are all about wedding clothes, drama, endless dance and song sequences with glorified Indian shaadi rituals. Bollywood has carved out various films based on the wedding theme and they have done well so far.
