Shehzada

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!

If you're looking for a film that is a complete waste of time, look no further than "Shehzada." This movie is an insult to the intelligence of anyone who watches it. The plot is so ridiculous that it's hard to take anything seriously. The characters are caricatures that are either too goofy or too fragile, and the acting is subpar.

Kartik Aaryan tries to be an action hero, but he lacks the charisma and presence required for such a role. Kriti Sanon is nothing more than eye candy, and the rest of the cast is forgettable. The music is forgettable, and the action choreography is laughable.

Director Rohit Dhawan takes a story that could have been interesting and ruins it with his eccentric interpretations and lack of realism. The sets look like they were taken from a cartoon, and there are no driveways or walkways for a luxurious bungalow. The film is an insult to the original, which had chartbuster music and a sense of realism.

In conclusion, "Shehzada" is a movie that you should avoid at all costs. It's a poorly made film with bad acting, music, and direction. Save your money and watch something else.

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.

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.

From bad acting to worse direction and even worse sense of humour, this movie challenges the odds in becoming worse than amateur youtube videos with zero profuction budget.. i was literally counting the minutes as when this horrible movie will end.. if it wasnt for the respect of my family ( who also waste thier time watchibg this nightmare) i would have left long time ago.. Bad acting, worse dialogue and even worse direction as i said earlier.. If u want to save ur valuable time dont even think of watching this movie , I was really disappointed and hopefully i will never watch any movie directed by this director who doesn't know the ABCs of direction , the director is the son of a director and as in bollywood connections win over talent..

Bottom line dont watch this movie its a genuine advice.
