Despite keeping the fairy tale angle alive, this sub-plot fails at effortlessly tying itself up with the main plot. Get the reverse Sleeping Beauty angle here? The sub-plot involves Bipin’s evil mother who wishes to marry off his real daughter Isha (Sanah Kapoor) as part of a business deal with the overly flamboyant Sindhi tycoon played by Sanjay Kapoor. Enter Jagjinder Joginder (Shahid Kapoor), a wedding planner who eventually succeeds in doing that. Her father hopes that her insomnia will one day be cured by a man who will put her to bed. Alia is a creature of the night in the sense that she cannot sleep. It would have helped if the narrative was well realized, but more time has clearly been dedicated to displaying visual flair than to moving the audiences with a fairy tale. An adopted daughter of Bipin Arora (Pankaj Kapoor), Alia Arora (Alia Bhatt) has fit into her new family easily despite the hatred towards her by her new mother and grandmother. But that’s not what you’re in for. This film is a showcase of grandeur and mind-blowing locations, which keeps finding some time to tell a story. They were seemingly convinced that the story they have come up with will be able to convey the same emotional fervour which flicks like Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty have been able to do in the past. Shaandaar has been conceived by its makers as a fairy tale film of the kind Disney makes. It’s a fairy tale love story that everyone has always dreamt of! The journey of Aliya, Jagjinder Joginder and Bipin in the chaotic and lavish wedding is the story of Shaandaar. Bipin believes that there’s no guy who will be good enough for his daughter, while Aliya is a dreamer, but her dreams are whacked out and Jagjinder Joginder is a doer, he can make anything happen! And for obvious reasons, Bipin hates Jagjinder Joginder. Set against the backdrop of the Shaandaar wedding, is a love triangle between (our protagonists) Aliya, Jagjinder Joginder and Bipin (Aliya’s father).
Mr.Fandwani, the groom’s father, is a loud Sindhi businessman who is the counter to Kamla Arora: The Fandwanis dress in gold, accessorize in gold and if it was possible, they’d drink and eat gold. Kamla Arora is a shrew, and treats everyone like her servants including her three sons, Bipin, Vipul and Vinay. Kamla Arora, the grandmother of the Arora family, the sole owner of the billion-dollar business and the property, has planned their wedding. Plot: A big fat ”Shaandaar” Indian wedding, which is actually a business merger between two of the biggest business families of India, is happening at an exotic castle in Europe.
