Shahid Kapoor and Alia Bhatt in a still from movie ‘Shaandaar’ Shaandaar Review: Script Analysis There’s no crispiness in the whole affair, as the storytelling is delayed time and again by unique and ambitious sequences (the director wants to make an impression with these) and songs that fail to move the story forward.
Despite keeping the fairy tale angle alive, this sub-plot fails at effortlessly tying itself up with the main plot. Get the reverse Sleeping Beauty angle here? The sub-plot involves Bipin’s evil mother who wishes to marry off his real daughter Isha (Sanah Kapoor) as part of a business deal with the overly flamboyant Sindhi tycoon played by Sanjay Kapoor. Enter Jagjinder Joginder (Shahid Kapoor), a wedding planner who eventually succeeds in doing that. Her father hopes that her insomnia will one day be cured by a man who will put her to bed. Alia is a creature of the night in the sense that she cannot sleep. It would have helped if the narrative was well realized, but more time has clearly been dedicated to displaying visual flair than to moving the audiences with a fairy tale. An adopted daughter of Bipin Arora (Pankaj Kapoor), Alia Arora (Alia Bhatt) has fit into her new family easily despite the hatred towards her by her new mother and grandmother. But that’s not what you’re in for. This film is a showcase of grandeur and mind-blowing locations, which keeps finding some time to tell a story. They were seemingly convinced that the story they have come up with will be able to convey the same emotional fervour which flicks like Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty have been able to do in the past. Shaandaar has been conceived by its makers as a fairy tale film of the kind Disney makes.
