After multiple delays, Kartik Aaryan and Kriti Sanon starrer family entertainer ‘Shehzada’ has finally hit the theatres.
The masala film was released on over 3000 screens on Friday, February 17, and managed to amass less than INR6 crores in the first day Box Office collection.

As per the reviews coming in from initial moviegoers, the title has failed to live up to its expectations.
While the film critics are all praises for the nostalgic-kind screenplay and massy performance by Aaryan, in addition to his sizzling chemistry with Sanon, the audience isn’t mighty impressed and is feeling conned with a ‘cheap copy’ of 90s cinema.

#ShehzadaReview: The Kartik Aaryan-Kriti Sanon starts with the perfect blend of David Dhawan & Allu Arjun’s cinema. The dramedy brings back the 90s masala genre for the masses. #Shehzada #KartikAaryan #KritiSanon

Disappointing ⭐⭐
Kartik Aryan overact
