Shehzada

Gave 2 starts because 1 for Kriti's beautiful screen presence and another star for Kartik. I feel this movie was not required and the fake emotions were pretty blatant. The screenplay and direction was very bad. The underutilisation of so many talented actors was sad to see. The emotional scenes were not emotional at all and the comic scenes were just bad. Rajpal Yadav did create some good humour but he was only there for 1 scene. Overall the whole movie was jumping from scene to scene, many plot loopholes. In some places the story just doesn't connect and feels random. It's sad to see Kartik being associated with it. Hope he does choose a better movie next time.

Dont get fooled by the IMDB ratings here. Looks fishy,

Its a typical bollywood story. Two babies got exchanged at birth. Poor one got smart & Rich one is dumb. Chikna hero does extra ordinary fights. Goons expecting 500cr ransom but don't have a single gun to fire or defend.

Kartik aryan looks good in some scenes. Actress role is very limited. Few things won't make sense like jindal family got a huge bungalow but no driveway, (car going & coming through lawn) further the rich family has a week security or no security at all. Ronit roy looks good, manisha koirala is average & not appealing. I would rate the movie 4/10 & its a pure masala film you can go if big fan of Kartik aryan.

AVPL i heard was a film that itself was very average but was elevated solely by Allu Arjun 's swaggy performance and terrific songs including my and everyone's favourite Butta Bola.

So when you decide to remake an average film , you need someone to elevate it to be a good entertaining watch. Sadly , Kartik is not any Allu Arjun. Kartik is charming no doubt but Allu Arjun possess charm and swag (something that in the early last decade Salman bhai possessed), and this swag Kartik doesn't posses to carry mass entertainer .

You can easily see he does the bulk of the heavy lifting in this film. He's smiling almost the whole film and trying to deliver dialogues in his Kartik aaryan style but the thing is, the dialogues are so ordinary (written by the same man who wrote the cringy dialogues of Brahmastra) that none of them impress or leave any impact on you, except maybe a few.

Because of such poor dialogues, comedy mostly is a miss. Because of such poor comedy , actors like Paresh Rawal or Rajpal Yadav (in a cameo shorter than the bidi Kartik smokes) who once used to make us go ROFL with their presence can't do anything in this film.

Actors like Ronit Roy are wasted yet again. Manisha Koirala is okayish but gets very little screen space. Kriti Sanon, ummmm, was she even there in the film? Idk man i forgot lol her role is so forgettable and turns out to be that typical souvenir kind of role .

Action and it's style is very much a miss. I have seen glimpses of AVPL mass action scenes and the swag with which Allu executed them won the hearts of fans. Kartik can't do action at all. Why do makers want to show him in this avatar is going over my head. His mass scenes are totally off. The climax action sequence in the metro hanger is so forgettable (i don't even know what the climax in AVPL was, must be better than this atleast).

Songs. Felt like an umbrella pierced into my heart (get it?). Forget Butta boma, that's out of reach, not even one song of Shehzada is one percent close to any song from AVPL. And all these ordinary tracks are coming from the magical composer Pritam. Hard to swallow truth. Remember last year how AR Rahman composed songs for a film like Heropanti 2 and all were flop. Even the character dheela rehash version is such a pain to the ears. They aren't paying tribute to Salman, they are paying tribute to remakes with this remake song from own Bollywood industry.

Some good parts are there though , especially in the emotional scenes in the 2nd half and this where Kartik genuinely shines. Women objectification , which is a norm in Telugu films and present even in AVPL has been removed here and that's very good.

Overall, this is the 3rd film i have seen from Rohit Dhawan and he again makes an average film. Even to some extent Dishoom was better . I know i shouldn't say this but often when you see Kartik trying to give dialogues in a swaggy way, i feel he's trying to imitate Varun Dhawan and i felt VD could have been a slightly better choice cuz he posses that swag that Kartik is not having.

Watch it on ott rather!

This one is a good Entertainer and I watched it on Netflix. Kartik Aryan, Kriti Sanon & Paresh Raval are good. The Story might seem unbelievable but I am surprised why the ratings are so low. The first half was good & kept me engrossed.

The Jindal House shown looks like a large Palace, probably as big as the Taj Mahal. Ot sure where in Delhi would such a House be available. I felt that more should have been done to develop the characters of Ronit Roy & Manisha Koirala to make the second half equally engrossing.

However Kartik Aryan & Kriti Sanon look great as a pair. Thsi guy Kartik is definitely in the making of the next Super Star.

This is a movie worth watching once.

This movie is completely headache This movie is a completely remake of Allu Arjun's movie Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo.

The overacting has been played by Karthik Aryan. The many good comedians like Rajpal yadav and Prashes Rawal has been wasted by Rohit Dhawan

Direction is also nood good

Wasted opportunity to adapt family intertenment movie The original movie was pretty mediocre to begin with. However, the director Rohit Dhawan has make a far worse version of it. The screen play is shaky and the story is so illogical that it's hard to buy into it. These kinda movies were famous when they were made in the 1980's and 90's when stars like Govinda were at their peak.

But the execution of those movies was still much far superior. Shehzada is bad at even being nonsensical and fun. The acting performances are really mediocre. So many good actors wasted. Kartik Aaryan is over the top and he is just very forgettable. Plus he isn't a star like Allu Arjun to carry such a terrible movie on him self.

Please avoid this movie like plague. It will make you doubt why you love cinema in the first place.
