A Fairy-tale love story, which is very unusual!
A Vikas Bahl movie, starring Shahid Kapoor and Alia Bhatt, in the banner of Fox, Dharma and Phantom, has been released. It also features Pankaj Kapoor, Sanjay Kapoor and Sanah Kapoor.
A destination wedding movie, which also describes a fairy-tale love-story, the relation between father and daughter, the importance of self esteem and teaches to live free without any pressure or burden.
I loved every frame of the film which is offering something refreshing and new. And this also happens because of the superb cinematography by Anil Mehta. Costumes and sets are perfectly suitable to the royal family of the movie.
Shahid Kapoor is so cool. We all know that after Haider, he can't do better in this type of film. Alia looks so pretty, beautiful and simply amazing. I fell in love with her as same as Shahid fell in the film! Pankaj Kapoor is as usual good. Chemistry between Alia and him, and even Shahid and him, are too good. Sanah is a good character of the film. Very few people know that she is Shahid's sister in real. Sanjay Kapoor can able to make me laugh at some point. The Grandma is a fun, and alslo that little boy who always wants to kill her. Two girls, the modern girls, talking in short words, are fun, too. Karan Johar's cameo is good. Others are enjoyable.
Music by Amit Trivedi is good. Though I don't find any suitable song in the mood of the movie. But, Gulabo can somehow manage to stay with the flow. Even Senti Wali Mental and Raita Fail Gaya, too. Shaam Shaandaar is cool but isn't suitable with the flow. Background songs like Eena Meena Deeka, Nind Na Mujhko Aaye and Nazdikiyaan are acceptable. The picturization of the song Nazdikiyaan has some wow moments.
After Queen, everyone is expecting something better from Vikas. And just because of that, they are finding this boring. Just take my advice and go to the hall without any expectations, simply enjoy the movie, and I'm damn sure that you will come out from the theater with a smiley face. Girls will surely enjoy the conversations of Shahid-Alia, because I've heard some voices like Awww! I can't say about the boys, but they may enjoy this because of Pankaj Kapoor. I loved all, so may be I'm not a boy, I'm a fan-boy!
Kudos to the team, this is what I like, an unusual flick!

After Queen, everyone is expecting something better than it, but, Vikas has clearly told that he wanted to make a different type of movie, like a comedy or a masala movie.

I saw a late night showing of Shaandaar with my next door Indian neighbor Tuesday night. In a cavernous theater, we were the ONLY ones there. Not a great sign, but I have to say I really enjoyed the whimsy of it. Flashback scenes are cleverly animated, and Shahid has never looked better. Ever. He is so much better looking in this than his baby-faced Jab We Met Days. I quite like the music, too, especially Gulaabo. There just isn't much there, there. The plot is kind of weak, but I still enjoyed it. Alia and Shahid had adorable chemistry together, and for once she doesn't look 12 years old. My neighbor insisted the groom's father was Anil Kapoor (we could talk out loud since we were the only ones there!), but it was actually his brother Sanjay.

"A shaandaar waste of time!!!"
The film is likely to have a decent opening & will appeal to the teenagers who loves candy floss rom-coms. But even then it will struggle to make waves at the box office & the best that the producers could possibly expect is to break even. From my point of view, with hardly a coherent script on display it's nothing more than a waste of time. In short, give it a miss!!!

Extravagant, Quirky, not for everyone
Shaandaar is about 2 insomniac people, a wedding planner and the sister of the bride to be who find each other. The movie is quirky in the extreme, poking fun at the concepts of arranged marriage and the Big Fat Indian Wedding. And to say that it is extravagant is an understatement. Every thing is over the top in this movie. The performances are adequate with Shahid and Alia cruising more on their cuteness than acting ability. Pankaj Kapur reiterates a version of him seen in 'Matru ki Bijlee ka Mandola' to great effect. The supporting cast hams it up to match the tone of the movie with Sanjay Kapoor being the flag bearer. Not for the regularr movie goer.

Avoid it
I think team Shaandaar were shooting for a TV show like Big Boss but at the end they decided to launch it as movie. Its worse than you might have expected. To add to the torture, they made it 2.5 hrs long.
