After being derided throughout the movie, she finally gets her moment and walks away from the wedding by shedding her inhibitions along with her clothes (excluding a petticoat) at the mandap. There’s a paragraph dedicated to her unsightly weight in a qawwali. Since the whole wedding is a business deal, the unhappy groom casually pokes fun at the bride’s weight. This is an important plot point in the movie. If you haven’t yet slept reading this review, you might have noticed the not-so-subtle references to Isha’s weight everywhere. This family, like the Arora’s, is trying to get out of bankruptcy with this freak show wedding. Fundwani’s penultimate addition of “the” in every sentence definitely didn’t have anyone laughing. Fundwani (Sanjay Kapoor) and family, a stereotypical Sindhi family who wear gold underwears, jackets, coats, and carry gold revolvers.
By now even I was falling asleep in the theatre. We also have a host of caricatures in the form of Mr. Hanging out with him causes her insomnia to dwindle and she starts falling asleep, much to the delight of Bipin. She shares this trait with Jagjinder and they both bond and camaraderize over it. Shahid Kapoor is a work of art.Īlia is an insomniac and has been raised on a diet of cheesy fairy tales and bananas by Bipin. He is so fricking attractive that even the evil grandmother has the hots for him. Surprise! He is constantly at loggerheads with Bipin, has a thing for Alia, and adores the fat Isha (because she is his half-sister in real life). The magic of being Punjabi! Makes you feel bad for having gender-conforming named parents. Jagjinder Joginder is a wedding planner who is in charge of Alia’s fat sister’s wedding. We are introduced to Jagjinder Joginder (Shahid Kapoor), whose funny name is a tribute to his parents. Presently, Bipin’s sweet (and fat) daughter, Isha, is set to marry an 8-packed douchebag in what is supposedly a lucrative business deal. No surprises when the mystery is solved in the 2nd half of the movie. We begin with an animated introduction of how Alia (that’s also her name in the movie), is brought to live with Bipin Arora (Pankaj Kapoor) and family that constitutes his evil mother, nagging wife, and sweet daughter, Isha. Why this child is so important to Bipin is a very obvious answer. Cut to the 2010s and we have Humshakals, Happy New Year, Tees Maar Khan, Joker, and now Shaandaar, a multifarious syndicate of confusion parading as films.īetter splurge your money in a bar, than buy a ticket for Shaandaar. And by old days, I mean up to the early 2000s. All these were traits of a good, fun-filled, family-oriented Hindi movie in the old days.
