The costumes and the wedding sequences are so much larger than life, that it becomes hard for us to believe it.Ĭinematography is excellent as the camera covers the scenic Europe amazingly. While the first half is funny and fine, the second half becomes tedious and Shahid and Alia''s chemistry goes haywire. The characters of both the leads are badly written and being two very good actors, they just couldn''t show their expertise here. But this time around, he lacks characterization. Vikas Bahl direction is praiseworthy and the filmmaker''s style of storytelling too keeps us mesmerized. But more than their individual performances, it is their chemistry that rocks. Coming to the lead pair, Alia looks mesmerizing and Shahid makes all the girls go head over heals. The actor is excellent in every scene and takes the cake away. Now even though the movie was promoted as a Alia and Shahid film, it is Pankaj Kapoor, who actually steals the show. Now will the two be able to convince Papa dear to be together? Forms the rest of the story. The two bond, however it is Aliya''s father Binni (Pankaj Kapoor), who wants Aliya to be with a man of his status. Coincidence strikes, when the two meet at Aliya''s sister''s wedding in Europe. While Aliya belongs to a rich business family, Jagjinder is a wedding planner. ''Shaandaar'' revolves around the story of two insomniac people, Aliya (Alia Bhatt) and Jagjinder (Shahid Kapoor). Which Queen definitely was, and even though ''Shaandaar'' too has all these qualities, there is that Vikas Bahl touch missing. Have you thought of taking up production or writing?įirst, I am focusing on being a good actor, then a good husband.It makes up for a complete package when a movie possesses some awesome actors, even amazing direction, crisp screenplay and witty dialogues. It was priceless as if he had conquered a country. When I was getting my head shaved for Haider, I can not tell you the expression on his face. He used to yell: ‘Shahid leave your hair, yaar’. In Kaminey, I had longer hair and I used to take time to fix it. When Vishal says chop it, I will do that.
Right now, this is doing all the work (points to his beard). However, my father and I used to have tea together - at times, in the middle of the shoot, and sometimes after pack-up. Since my father plays Alia’s father in the film, he was in character and was bonding with her more I felt left out. Sanah (his half-sister) told me that she did not want me around when she was shooting. There are some very interesting characters - my dad Pankaj Kapur, Sanah Kapur, Sanjay Kapoor and others. It’s like this gift which has been kept wrapped. As much as we are promoting it as a Shahid-Alia film, there is more to it which you will find out when you watch it. Since I am doing three films with Phantom, including Udta Punjab and Vikramaditya Motwane’s next, we better get this one right. Since Shaandaar is your first release after Haider, what are your expectations?Īpart from the fact that this is Vikas’s first film after Queen and my first film with Alia, this is also my first association with Phantom Films and Dharma Productions. Whether they are right or wrong, time will tell. The way I view things, the way I look at life and the choices I make are different today. Before Haider, I went through a transition. However, today, I have people giving me better advice. The effort is not how best can I look it is how different can I look.īetween Kaminey and Haider, a bunch of your films did not work. It went unnoticed in my previous films, however, with Haider and now with Shaandaar and Udta Punjab people are recognising that. My basic idea is to look different in every film so that I can explore a different facet of myself. You seem to be trying a different look with this film. With Queen, he has shown that he has something to say that’s different. I am getting the sense from people that Shaandaar has a fresh feel. So we have to be more responsible in making our choices and aware about doing things that are new and exciting. With so many films being made these days, the audience is more picky about what they watch. How has this genre evolved over the years? You started your career with a romcom, Ishq Vishq.
