There are zero layers and no depth at all to this one. Sona flaunts all the characteristics typical of a dancer in Hindi films from the 90s and 2000s - she wards off her lover with mean words, sticks to him despite all odds and often uses her seduction skills to help her lover. She had said her character Sona (Vaani) - a travelling dancer in love with Balli - is an emotionally vulnerable one and there are layers to the character. Both Ranbir characters lead their tribe in rebellion against the British.ĭespite all her pre-release interviews and false claims, Vaani has little to do in the film except display the skills of a great dancer and seductress. Ranbir also essays the role of Balli's father, Shamshera, who was the tribe's leader.

Set in the 1800s, Shamshera traces the story of Balli (Ranbir) who aspires to be an army officer but belongs to a tribe that has been enslaved by the British. ( Also read: Ranbir Kapoor says he needs 'tyrant' Alia Bhatt to produce his directorial debut)

Shamshera features Vaani Kapoor opposite Ranbir while Sanjay Dutt plays the antagonist in the film. The treatment of the film appears as if it was an attempt to revive that kind of cinema for Hindi films. Shamshera is almost a mockery of masala entertainers that often work at the box office. Ranbir Kapoor returned to the silver screen after a gap of four years with Karan Malhotra's Shamshera and his double role, as father and son, does not make up for the failure of a film that it is.
