SHAANDAR (2015)
Imagine the movie QUEEN with tons of glitches and sloppy scenes and sadly pathetic direction and a non-charismatic story writing. That would be difficult in imagining stuffs like that with the title being QUEEN, now the same people who brought us QUEEN coalesce for SHAANDAR, and delivers all those un-imaginable stuffs with a magnificent set and locations. All that could possibly go wrong with this movie, went wrong. This movie created a big discrepancy considering a film like Queen.
Let me pithy you the story. On paper, Shaandaar is the story of two sisters. One is the adopted child, the pretty one who struggles to find acceptance and is an insomniac. The other is good at heart, tubby and being used by her mother and grandmother to secure a deal with a business partner because the Aroras are almost bankrupt, why do 2 bankrupts try to mingle ,leads to a big oblivion. The story looses its grip on direction and soon the survival hopes are relinquished in songs which fail to hold it either.
So, the screen opens up with the anime character of Pankaj Kapoor (Bipin) and baby Alia who is adopted by Bipin. No one having a clue about why has she been adopted by Bipin, welcomes her to the family with a dreadful mother who squashes the doll bought by Alia by riding her electrically operated chair over it, if that expresses the intensity of the harshness, shouldn't you be swallowing a lump under your throat. The next character is her mother who is deary to her daughter and care-free towards Alia. Now Alia has this strange insomnia thing, and she keeps herself up by googling stuffs about insomnia. The only dream of Bipin is to find her a person who could put her to sleep. With this the characters turn into flesh, with Shahid kapoor riding a bike and lighting his cigar bumps into Bipin's car who is with his family heading to marry his daughter. Thus everyone are introduced there. From post this scene where the movie should have actually taken a leap from the unusual crap, instead it lands into more deeper crap and gives you crumbs to the absolute stupidity of the characters. The sinking story crams towards the interval and relays the story to the weaker 2nd half.
The weaker second half has odd timed songs as its biggest asset. And the mention able bikini scene of Alia Bhatt (absolutely why do boys have all the fun) and her end to insomnia is something so great that it weighs bigger than the wedding. The lurking scenes with loose editing and story loosens its ultimate grip when the scenes start to arise questions like Why did that happen? You see Alia bhatt served with panties in the breakfast, to which anybody including the director himself have no clue about. So such lame scenes deprive you from taking the movie any further.
The only positive part that really can't be considered in the favor of the movie is Dharma Productions set design and Karan Johar's cameo. If its KJO's production, then it has to be picturesque, and character who has a limp wrist (yes you guessed it right, a gay!!), so he does show up in the movie to bid a farewell to his magnificent set, in which what happened no one has single clue, but still it was named SHAANDAR.
Words of Wisdom: Even if you have watched the morning show which costs the least, you know it all went waste. NOT WORTHY AT ALL!! Watch the trailer and feel proud for you saved your bucks. In a nutshell ( -Queen x infinity non-sense) = SHAANDAR.
Rating: 2/10
