Thanks for the review
AMAR AKBAR ANTHONY:
Saw the movie yesterday. As already discussed by many, this one comes across as a fun film with a small social message which only comes towards the last 15 minutes.
Story is about three friends Amar, Akbar and Anthony and their dream of travelling to pattaya beach in thailand. They are doing small time jobs and saving their money for the trip. The way each character is introduced and even how their family is introduced have a touch of " Chotta mumbai" feeling to it. They are very close to a small child in their colony. Also, both prithvi and indrajith, who have their share of past failed loves, is behind Namitha pramod, which probably will be one of the weakest heroine characters in malayalam film history. lot of comedy situations are there in the movie and Indrajith outshines others in the movie with his comic timings. The story moves on how their life changes when a social issue affects their loved ones, who will namitha finally fall for and how the message which movie intends to say come out. Only thing not in sync with the movie is the unwanted twist in the movie which was incorporated just for the sake of a twist.
Positives:
The lead combo rocked..
good comedies, especially by indrajith who rocks in the scene when he sings that song.. lol
social message incorporated in the movie
negatives:
some lag in the second half
unwanted twist
no importance for heroine... ( can be considered positive also since we didnt have to see the awful actress in namitha much in the movie)
rating will be 3/5...
verdict is already out and may be if kanal and rani padmini disapppoints, it will have a long run.. another blockbuster coming
SHAANDAAR Review - A fun ride you will enjoy..
Reasons to watch the movie:
fresh casting of Alia and Shahid
Vikas Bahl's movie after the award winning Queen.
Karan Joharn back to his romantic movies production..
The movie fulfills our expectations as a larger than life destination wedding film which is set in exotic locations.
The movie starts with narration of nasseruddin shah. The story is about a destination wedding which involves two business families who sees this marriage as a reason to strike a business deal as both are under bankrupt. First family is of pankaj kappor whose family is dominated by his mother and wife. He has a daughter who is fat and is going to get marry. Alia Bhatt was adopted in to the family by Pankaj Kapoor when she was a small kid against the will of his mother and wife.
They dont like her but Alia grows their showing big affection towards her half sister and Pankaj Kapoor. The other family is about two brothers, the younger one is getting married and he is a 8 and a half pack fellow. He doesnt like the fat girl but has to marry to save them from bankruptcy.
Enter our hero, Shahid Kapoor, who is the wedding planner and the story moves forward when he met Alia and they both fall in love. The lead pair, both are insomniacs and spend their nights together and slowly develops their bonding. The story moves on how their love unfolds, will Pankaj Kapoor accepts their love, how the destination wedding unfolds, will both the families able to unite despite their disimilarities. The film ends with a message like marriage need not be compromise always. Live the life as you are.
Positives:
Shahid and Alia rocks
pankaj kapoor was just fab.
Good songs and picturisation.
Lot of fun elements
Smooth Flow
Karan Johar's cameo.. mehendi with karan..
Negatives:
Abrupt ending
