Shahid Kapoor, who was last seen in the hard-hitting HAIDER, does a complete U-turn with his character in SHAANDAAR. His performance is extremely endearing, affable and loveable. His onscreen chemistry with Alia Bhatt is excellent. On the other hand, there’s Alia Bhatt, who seems to be getting better with every passing film of hers.
By now, she has repeatedly proven that how effortlessly she can get into the skin of every character that she portrays. On the whole, SHAANDAAR is a feel good movie that will make you leave the cinema hall with a smile on your face, despite its flaws. It will mainly appeal to the youth who seem to be the target audience for the film.
