Alia and Shahid are tripping on some major acid. #Shaandaar First half #Shaandaar is over and pretty sure the entire cast and Vikas Bahl were tripping on weed and magic mushrooms. #Shaandaar is the Cinderella story retold in a Bollywood manner, but here the step sister is loving and caring.

Just saw #Shaandaar. It's not a movie. It's an acid trip. Over the top and hilarious. It's a lot to digest though.

Best thing about #Shaandaar is Alia's perpetual 'wtf am I doing in this shitty film' expression. (Seriously. So talented the young lady is.)
Harsh Kumar â€@harshkumarsays
#Shandaar looks a routine kind of film. This is not a film from QUEEN director. Touch is missing. Very difficult to repeat your own success #Shaandaar much hyped #bikini by @aliaa08 add no value to the project. Look at history #bikini gimmicks fails every time. Kareena also agree

.@aliaa08 is already a superstar and her onscreen presence is enough to validate that. #Shaandaar Caution: You won't be able to take your eyes off #ShahidKapoor. He is a debonair. #Shaandaar #AmitTrivedi's music is bound to get you grooving. #Shaandaar is a laugh riot and the best Dussehra gift for all the moviegoers. #Shaandaar is a celebration of life and is a must-watch. #Shaandaar is an inspiration for all the girls who have battled with the body image issue.
