INOX - R Mall, Thane WestHindi 2D Shehzada is meant to be enjoyed for its campy humour, irreverent hero, and action sequences. While the title track sung by Sonu Nigam, ‘Shehzada’, stands out, the others are just average. These are also incoherently stitched together, as are many other sequences, such as Bantu bravely taking on goons who harass his younger sister, rescuing Samara from a client who cannot take no for an answer, to smashing Sarang’s men. Shehzada review: The film, which is a remake of a Telugu film Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo, starts on a promising note, as a nurse and an office clerk, Valmiki (Paresh Rawal), exchange the latter’s son with a business magnate Randeep Jindal’s (Ronit Bose Roy). Shehzada story: Bantu has grown up suffering his father Valmiki’s vitriolic tongue until he discovers that he’s actually an heir to an influential family, who was exchanged at birth.

Shehzada movie review: Kartik Aaryan takes over this loud family drama, with an old-fashioned storyline, that focuses more on its star and keeps logic to a ...

His deep-seated desire to see his son succeed and punish the son of his nemesis is played up for laughs. While the screenplay and direction by Rohit needed more weight, Shehzada might appeal to those who might prefer an old wine in a new bottle. The villain's role is instead handed to Sunny Hinduja's Sarang, who becomes a plot contrivance to move the story along, and give the rest of the characters something to bond over. Kartik, who is also a producer here, gets the most footage in Shehzada. The film has its moments especially with dialogues of Hussain Dalal, that both point out the ridiculousness of the plot and lack of logic. Here the film, directed by Rohit Dhawan, becomes a strange mix of Bawarchi (1972) and Mary Poppins (1964), borrowing elements where an outsider comes to fix a family's problems and eventually reunite them all. At 145 minutes, it isn't exactly boring, but it does lag as it drags out the parentage issue. Randeep later married the boss' daughter and the rest is history. [Kriti Sanon](https://www.hindustantimes.com/topic/kriti-sanon) flits in and out of the film to make an appearance in the songs and occasionally the story, but her character adds nothing to the film.

Cast: Kartik Aaryan, Kriti Sanon, Manisha Koirala, Paresh Rawal, Ronit Roy, Sachin Khedekar. Director: Rohit Dhawan. Rating: Two and a half stars (out of 5).

When it is time for the deprived prince to return to his kingdom and stake his claim to the silver spoon that his rightfully his, he does not lose his bearings. However, the obsolescence of the film's essence is difficult to shrug off. He is the exact opposite of Bantu, an unlucky boy who has had to make do with hand-me-downs all his life. Manisha Koirala is hard done by in the role of a mother figure and Ronit Roy plays the patriarch who is barely allowed to make a mark. Aaryan goes on in one fell swoop to be a lover, an action hero, a mamma's boy, an angry crusader against those that have wronged him and a firm protector of the family he has an embryonic bond with. Armed with a degree from the Government College of Law, Amritsar, he is hired by a pretty lawyer (Kriti Sanon) as an assistant.

Kartik Aaryan is never exceptional, observes Sukanya Verma. Masala movies are a litmus test for stardom. How much suspension of disbelief can a star draw ...

The nurse privy to it lands in a coma. Twenty five years later, Kartik Aaryan learns the truth about his filthy rich parents and the reason for the poor treatment at the hands of his haanikarak bapu. On one hand, a character is the epitome of all things true and fair and yet has nothing to say when folks nearly kill someone and send them into a coma or cheat on perfectly sweet spouses for no rhyme or reason. An official remake of the latter's Telugu superhit, Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo, it's about babies exchanged at birth where one grows up to be scion of a wealthy family and the other's the son of a regular joe. Save for a couple of favourable changes and tweaking a character or two, Dhawan Jr's remake is more or less a copy-paste affair with not a single hummable Pritam ditty. What made these predictable paisa vasools worth their while is the combination of an actor's distinctive personal style and a God-given talent for understanding the frontbencher's pulse.

Shehzada (Hindi). Director: Rohit Dhawan. Cast: Kartik Aaryan, Kriti Sanon , Manisha Koirala, Paresh Rawal, Ronit Roy, Sachin Khedekar. Runtime: 142 minutes.

The music doesn’t hold our senses and Kriti is utterly wasted in a sketchy role that provides her lots of legroom but little else. We could see through the regressive undertones where the makers take the side of pedigree in the nature versus nurture debate and the charade in the name of performances. At the core, it is a ‘Manmohan Desai meets Davi Dhawan’ kind of masala recipe but in the hands of director Rohit Dhawan, it tastes rather bland and generic.
