Shaandaar trailer out! It’s not Alia Bhatt’s sexy hot bikini look, but her chemistry with Shahid Kapoor that stands out!

The Queen director is ready with his next venture. Will this movie be to Alias what Vikas Bahl’s last one was for Kangana Ranaut? We’ll have to wait for that for some time. For now here’s what the first trailer looks like…

Shahid Kapoor and Alia Bhatt come together onscreen for the first time in  Vikas Bahl’s Shaandaar. The buzz about this film is matched by the talks of this good looking duo’s chemistry on and off screen. The film is India’s first ever destination wedding movie and also features Shahid’s father Pankaj Kapur, Sanjay Kapoor and his Udta Punjab co-star Diljit Dosanjh. The posters of this movie itself created a lot of buzz, while both Alia and Shahid looked loveable and took us back to Karan Johar’s Kuch Kuch Hotaa Hai days. With the first trailer out now we cannot wait to find out if Shahid and Alia together look as good as Sasha and Kaareena Kapoor did together in Jab We Met. Well, read on to find out what we think about Shaandaar, is it grand or then just fails to dazzle….
What’s hot: The highlight is definitely the very good looking duo of Alia and Shahid. The two look stunning individually and together. Alia Bhatt’s newest pink bikini will definitely become the new fad. Apart from these two, there is also the very talented Pankaj Kapoor who stands tall. Yes, Alia and Shahid’s chemistry will be talked about, but one cannot miss the comic and perfectly timed exchange between the real life father-son in this trailer.
What’s not: The OTT (Over The Top) entry of Sanjay Kapoor and his family is kinda off. We have seen that several times before on screen in Bollywood films. It’s a little too larger than life and less realistic, but guess that’s what the title stands for.
Well, this is just a sneak peek at Shahid and Alia‘s romantic comedy, the film is set to release this Dussehra on October 22. Until then come back right here to catch more such trailers, promos and goss from Shaandaar sets. For now watch the trailer and tell us your thoughts in the comment box below.
So what was Salman Khan doing on the show? Is he part of the Indian High Commission or ad hoc spokesman for the External Affairs Ministry? Sure he is the star of Bajrangi Bhaijaan, a movie about a Pakistani child getting lost in India, and in which Salman acted as a Hindu Hanuman-devotee who braves all odds to take her home. Star. Movie. Acted. As in ‘not real’. Get it?
It’s bad enough that many people watching the film are likely to believe that Salman is a good Samaritan who saves children – as opposed to an actor who drives drunk over people sleeping on the pavement. But that’s the wonder of cinema. Fans of movie stars have a poor grasp on the difference between fiction and reality when it comes to their idols.
however, is not in the movie business. This is a news channel that reports on real events. So why in the world did they do a news show portraying him as as a real-life Bajrangi Bhaijaan? And a show with headlines on its ticker such as ‘Geeta Awaits Her Bajrangi Bhaijaan’ and #SalmanForGeeta being shown repeatedly. Barkha complimented Salman’s secular values and his film, even asked him to give advice to Geeta – because surely what the girl really needs is life advice from an actor who also happens to be a convicted criminal.
Bollywood has shown us many times over that it couldn’t give a damn if a superstar is a murderer, alleged rapist, sexual harasser or molester. But all of us must balk when a news channel gets in on the act, making a hero of a criminal – one whose case saw many suspect twists and turns -- featuring him in a show that dovetails with his PR push to use his on-screen persona to airbrush his off-screen antics . (Barkha herself sounded at times like a PR person when she kept referring to the film, asking Geeta how many times she’d watched it and so on.)
