Shahid Kapoor and Alia Bhatt�s film is shiny, flashy and it ends there!
Shaandar is a visual delight. There�s Karan Johar written all over it. It�s about family, gays, love, wedding, bitchy guests, bimbos and much more. But there are two outstanding features about Shaandaar. The comic strip that narrates the story about Alia�s entry in the house and her origin which is reminiscent of Hum Tum; narrated by Naseeruddin Shah.(more)

SHAANDAAR is a feel good movie
The film's director Vikas Bahl, whose last film was the National award winning QUEEN, makes a different kind of film this time. SHAANDAAR has a fairy tale kind of feel to it with lots of VFX, animations, exotic UK locations and big expensive sets. The film is very high on glitz and glamour. (more)

Movie Review
Shaandaar has a fun plot. However in his attempt to spoof destination weddings of the bankrupt and the famous, Vikas Bahl, (who also directed that gem, Queen) forgot to take a script along.(more)

Shaandaar wastes good actors on bad bubblegum
Shaandaar is director Vikas Bahl�s attempt at harmless, meaningless, utterly frothy cinema, more toffee-making than filmmaking, and he gets a great cast in place and polishes them up with rags made of thousand-rupee notes.(more)

As bizarre as it is beautiful!
Director Vikas Bahl (also co-producer and co-writer) is known for last year's much-loved Queen. It's surprising that the filmmaker, who made Rani's character so nuanced and wove us masterfully into her world, has chosen to keep Shaandaar's characters hollow and one-dimensional. Both Alia and Isha, for example, seem to float in a vacant space, where they don't have friends, outside interests, or a professional life.(more)

Not much shines in this film
Director Vikas Bahl�s Shaandaar--promoted as India�s first destination wedding film--relies more on the youthful appeal of its lead actors than a tight screenplay. Sometimes, it pretends to raise an issue, but then shies away from dealing with it. Let me introduce you to the basic premise of the film which mistakes Sindhis for a community of money minded devils.(more)
