Shaandaar Gets Shaandaar Reviews

After the much loved film Queen, director Vikas Bahl is back with a bang with Dharma Productions’ Shaandaar. The film truly lives up to its name with sprawling sets, grand locations and amazing cinematography. This movie, which is Bollywood’s first destination wedding film, unites three members of the Kapoor Family – Pankaj Kapur, Shahid Kapoor and Sanah Kapoor. The protagonists – Jagjinder and Alia – have insomnia and the movie touches upon the effects of this condition. Sanah Kapoor plays Isha who is the bride and Alia’s half sister.

The picturesque locations of Shaandaar took everyone’s breath away. Shahid and Alia Bhatt’s spellbinding chemistry impressed one and all. No wonder they earned the nickname ‘Shalia’, coined by their fans, for themselves. The up-beat album of the film, too, caught on with the audiences. Another highlight of Shaandaar is Sanah Kapoor, who is a definitely a bundle of talent just like her gifted parents. Last but certainly not the least, one of the best parts of the movie is the deep bond between the two sisters and the quintessential father-daughter relationship.

Overall, Shaandaar proved to be a fun film with some amazing songs and some shaandaar performances. Have you watched it yet?

Gulaabo From Shaandaar - The Perfect Spinster Party Song

The upbeat number Gulaabo, from Shahid Kapoor-Alia Bhatt starrer Shaandaar, is out for everyone to enjoy. This quirky song is produced by Dharma Productions and the beats are composed by the brilliant music director Amit Trivedi. The funky lyrics are by Anvita Dutt. This song is already on everyone’s mind because of the swagger in its tune. Gulaabo here is referred to Shahid’s sister Sanah Kapur, who is making her debut in Bollywood.

This is one of those songs that you will listen to on loop. There are jazzy bits in the song that adds a sensuous feel. Set in a rustic barnyard amidst barrels of booze and beer tankards, this song feels like the perfect spinster party song! All the dancers along with Shahid and Alia are dressed in suits and accessorized with pencil moustaches and fedoras. A poster of femme fatal Jessica Rabbit pops in the background adding spunk to the video. Vishal Dadlani and Anusha Mani have brought this song to life with their peppy voices.

Gulaabo is surely going to be a popular choice at all bachelorette parties, house parties and weddings due to the feel and lyrics. The trailer of the film has already created a lot of buzz and this first song has got fans and Bollywood music lovers so much more excited. The beats are unique and fresh, and that gives it all the more reason to catch on like wild fire in no time!
