Alia Bhatt talks about ‘Shaandaar’ failure

Alia Bhatt began her career with ‘Student Of The Year’ and followed it up with films like ‘Highway’, ‘2 States’ and ‘Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania’. Career-wise, the actress was at an all-time high, awaiting the release of ‘Shaandaar’, a film that looked like a winner since it was being directed by Vikas Bahl of ‘Queen’ fame.

Holiday release, top banner, a director coming after directing one of the best films of 2014, a rising actor in Shahid Kapoor, Alia’s following with the youth.. all combined, the result has been disastrous.

Asked if she was disappointed with the not so ‘Shaandaar’ performance of the film, Alia said “Of course, there is disappointment. It’s a first for me. I’ll take this in my stride and move on.”

While ‘Shaandaar’ is the first failure of Alia’s career, 2015 has been a disastrous year for Dharma Productions too as both ‘Brothers’ and ‘Shaandaar’ have failed at the box office. ‘Baahubali: The Beginning’ which they presented in Hindi was a humongous success.

  • Those involved need to pay more attention to the script than thinking a rom com with commercial elements and stars will automatically work.

  • I don’t why these stupid journos ask such stupid question. Offcourse anyone will be disappointed after failure. If you put your heart and soul in a project and it tanks, you will be low. #StupidMedia

  • So she takes her flop movies as her failures? ? But y?
    Lolx
    If a movie flops then it’s a failure for director nd actor only ….!
    Nd if hit then it’s also because of director-actor .
    Actresses Ka movie ki success- flop se kya lena dena? ? Sonakshi sinha karina kapur has done 50-50 minute role in her many hit movies nd so many other actresses …!

  • it wasnt her fault that shaandaar is a flop. actually most critcts liked the performance from alia and shahid

  • Actually, it’s Karan Johar who’s the Panauti. He was given a major role in Bombay Velvet and it became the biggest disaster of Hindi Cinema.
    He did a cameo in Shaandaar n it too tanked.
    Karan Johar is a great film producer n okay director but he shouldn’t attempt acting in the future.

  • Problem may be that Shahid really does not have it in him. He has been thereabouts for the last so many years and after Haider, thought was that his luck had turned. We thought the same during Kaminey as well, but Shahid will remain an ordinary Vijay Arora, Naveen Nischol like actor all his life

  • @Sunny Well said.I don’t know since when have we started to credit the success and failure of any movie to any heroine

  • Overconfidence can do anything.Shaandar team was full time confident that it wil cross 100cr.but they did not know what they did with the movie.best of luck Alia’s career. shahid careen end now

  • @5:50pm fanny chechi

    Well atleast she acknowledges her last films success/ failure unlike your greedy gobar who already moves onto his next flop movie before his current crapfest has released…!

  • @sunny chechi then tell me buddy what were this films all about:
    jab we met (kareena’s power-packed performance)
    mere brother ki dulhan (katrina steals the show)
    nh10 (anushka’s star-power)
    the dirty picture & kahani (vidya balan)
    mary kom (pc)
    ram leela (deepika)

  • Oh yes, Bulli, welcome back. Its heartwarming to see u back…
    Alia should flop and do a movie with her Emraan under Vishesh and do kissing together as much as possible. That would be exciting

  • The current acteresses are full of themselves, just look at deepika trying to take all the cridits for piku a film which stared two of the most talented actors in india.One is aliving legend and the other is fantastic actor internationally.

  • Hey Dharma, bring srk-hrithik jodi in a action threller. then see what happen.
    nd, @indicine, may i ask u that aur kitne din shahid new comer rahaga? ab to new comer lok bhi sharma jayegi. XD
