Shaandaar
Critic reviews and ratings
-
...a feel good movie that will make you leave the cinema hall with a smile on your face, despite its flaws.
-
...a fun film that is infused with great charm, which in turn is enhanced by director Bahl’s panache for a light touch, an attribute that was on full show in Queen.
-
...a peculiar film - to be enjoyed for its beautiful moments, and to be endured for its bizarre ones.
-
...lacks soul, sensitivity and a scriptwriter.
-
...all these ideas, all these layers, don’t come together satisfactorily.
-
...proceeds in a jerky and slapdash fashion, and only a few sequences hit the mark.
-
...is the Anees Bazmee-fication of Dharma-ised version of the Phantom-isation of Vikas Bahl's Disney tale. Oh dear, how do I fit Barjatya in that sentence now?
-
Seriously, how was anyone to guess that this is a cruel joke played by Bahl on his investors and perhaps on an unsuspecting audience.
-
The story lacks imagination, the screenplay is shoddy and the dialogues unfunny.
-
Stellar performances in a confused comedy.
-
...a wildly inconsistent film that seesaws unevenly between charming and WTF!
-
...here are too many things not okay with this 'dream' of a film. For one, it has a rather disjointed screenplay.
-
...is quite easily among the worst written films in recent times. It desperately tries to be cool and funny but ends up being neither.
-
The film is largely unreal, exaggerated and a not-so-Shaandaar continuation of Bahl’s work.
-
The skewed narration gives us a film that isn’t really about anyone.
-
An outlandish screenplay does nothing to save this shoddy lookalike of a Lewis Caroll classic.
-
It’s an old-school Disney-esque film but sadly without the wit and -- as is more critical when it comes to candy manufacture -- the consistency.
-
The film is bloated with excess.
-
Team Shaandaar is clearly aiming at a certain quirkiness that it fails to achieve for the most part.
-
...tries very hard but it’s not funny.
-
...the formula of a destination wedding, good looking people, loud families, could not rescue us from the wrath of the not-so Shaandaar movie.
-
...is exactly the opposite of its title. It's sloppily written, lazily directed and completely without insight.
-
A film of consistent, determined frivolity. And the fun starts dimming soon.
-
Vikas Bahl: what happened? Was QUEEN a fluke? You have disappointed us big time.
