Why Did Shehzada Fail To Even Open At The Box Office? | The Harsh But Real Truth 

*what went wrong with the movie? the movie itself*

The board room scene in AVPL was an INSANE THEATRICAL EXPERIENCE! Watching bunny perform to Tarak, Mahesh, Pawan Kalyan, Chiru songs was so entertaining!

Because Allu Arjun is a known star in entire India now, even in Hindi belt All thanks to movie channels which airs dubbed Telugu films every day South Indian cinema is not alien to North Indians

Misconception : allu arjun became famous in Hindi belt after pushpa Reality : people knew who he was since late 2010

The action sequences in AVPL are just poetic. It's not just fight scenes, Trivikram has created them as poems, & AA did 200% justice to it. These things are difficult to imitate Specially Sitharala Sirapadu is a masterpiece. AA was fluid as water in it. How on earth you can copy that?

Those who are saying AVPL was a cringe One of the main aspects of AVPL was trivikram's dialogues which have not been translated well enough by the subtitles

Good to see so many ppl collectively agreeing that BB2 was successful coz of Tabu

5:19 the SITHARALA song soooo brilliantly choreographed perfectly in sync with the LYRICS, it's unbelievable as how amazing they fit FIGHT with a SONG

I feel like the remake fatigue is setting in sooner than we might've expected. Unless they come up with something new, remakes will keep flopping. Besides that, Kartik Aryan might be a decent actor with some charisma but Allu Arjun's charisma is unmatched. Despite the original film being a subpar movie with a generic story, what made it bearable was Allu Arjun and the songs. Neither the songs of Shehzada nor Kartik Aryan did any favors for the film.

Glad you talked about Main tera hero since it's a very underrated fun movie that often gets overlooked because of its absurd storyline. I would've loved Varun Dhawan in the remake since he has that carefree nature in comedy roles that allu arjun is a master of in the original one.

Even Before Pushpa He Have Huge Stardom All Over In India Over Years Back Like Arya , Arya 2 Onwards

And one more reason which might or might not impact shehazada's letdown was: In the original Telugu movie of AVPL, the imposter-rich kid played by Sushant, whose character was beautifully written and well executed as well. His behaviour represents any middle-class Indian kid's psyche when their parents have huge expectations & aspirations for her/his life but in reality, the kid just wants to live a mediocre, no-nonsense simple life (a lifestyle which is heavily frowned upon in this self-made gallizonaires & ultra rich -hustle culture of society). But in the Hindi remake, the character is turned into a dumb, idiotic boy who's good for nothing because of his middle-class genetics, a sight which was so embarrassing it witness on the big screen😂

One big plus point for AVPL is it's brilliant music.....Thaman has given his best❤

The top 5 reasons I watched Ala Vaikunthapuram lo again and again.... 1. Murali Sharma as Valmiki 2. AA swag, unique style and mind-blowing dance in commercial movies.... He makes everything look easy and effortless.... 2. Thaman music.... 100 million views 3 songs even before Telugu version released.... Buttabomma, Ramulo Ramula became Pan India songs! 🙏 3. Trivikram dialogues and humour.... Lost in translation most of the times 4. Murali Sharma as Valmiki 5. Murali Sharma as Valmiki None of these were in Hindi remake!

Bollywood should stop doing remakes especially when the original version is available on OTT. Now people have started watching Indian films other than Hindi language films. Therefore its high time they start making films with content which covers Hindi film viewer would expect to see. May be even go back to that 90s movies with beautiful scenery and songs may work.

Allu Arjun was so chill in AVPL. He was just enjoying himself in the character and really embraced the meta-ness of the film. He isn’t delivery’s heavy drama dialogues or being too filmy, it was more of a celebration of Telugu cinema. Kartik Aryan on other hand felt like he wanted to make a statement to other actors and tries too hard. Varun Dhawan would have been much better.

Trivikram is a mastermind in making such kinds of movies. If you know Telugu and the culture, you will understand that there is an emotional connection with the audience throughout the film. Example: The climax fight in AVPL had a folk song included in a fight that was never seen. He was not just fighting but dancing like a pro. The lyrics were taken from the rural villages in East Andhra, which people loved for encouraging the infamous folk art. The lyrics in that song sum up the movie too. People were astonished and in many other scenes throughout the film. It has a high re-watch capability and the creators did a great job which took a lot of research in the background. That's why it became a blockbuster. I have never seen Sharuk Khan or Salman Khan swaging for Indian folk art. That's what we mean when we say Bollywood never encourages Indian culture. Nor Shehzada had anything with North Indian ancient folk culture. The meaning of the title is "Ala Vaikuntapuram lo" = "In the Abode of Lord Vishnu's Vaikuntam". They literally missed the whole point of the movie.

There could be two reasons for not doing boardoom scene.. 1.They might have tried but karthik just couldn’t do those legendary songs with ease like AA as it does require lot of range and the makers recognised it and scrapped it off 2.Karthik’s PR team might have thought its not a good idea to give tribute to legends of indian cinema as they are trying to establish him as the future superstar apparently..🙄 Anyway,that scene alone could have given a 2-3 cr extra opening..I wish avpl dubbed version was available somewhere..i just want to know which hindi songs they played in the dubbed one..

7:18 in AVPL Valmiki named Allu Arjun as Bantu not because he wanted him to be like Hanuman to JayRam, it is because his original son was named as Raj (King) so he names Allu Arjun as Bantu (Servant) as he wants him to be a servant of his own son. And your point on killing the character of the mother who raised the protagonist in the Hindi version is spot on. Yes Allu Arjun refusing to reveal who he actually is, to not to break the heart of the woman who raised him was very convincing but here they lost the whole point.

I myself as an NTR fan, I say Allu Arjun's Swag, Attitude, His screen presence is not at all easy to replicate by any other actor, He is from a different galaxy all together. Apart from the reason of Karthik not been able to match icon star's performance, there are some other reasons too why shehzada failed like music and trivikram's direction. Sending greetings to allu arjun fans from NTR fans

Thank you jammy you recognised the man behind avpl success is not only AA but also Trivikram, he is a celebrated director, mainly for his dialogues, Bantu in AVPL is exactly how the hero in a Trivikram movie is, so just reshooting entire movie with another actor isn’t enough to garner success but also we need to acknowledge the efforts of the director as well

I really hope that Kartik Aryan learns from the failure of Shehzada and add some worthy projects in his kitty. This guy has potential though he needs to be careful about the cinema he wants to be part of!!

In the words of Mr. Sanjay Leela Bhansali, 'If a director says that he understands the palette of the audience he is living in a fool's paradise'. Right now no one can say what will and will not work in the theatres.

I'm a Telugu girl the thing avpl block buster in Telugu is it's story is normal but bcoz of Allu arjun acting trivikram dialogues thaman music and released during sankranthi. In Telugu states it is very rare that a movie fails during sankranthi. It is best time for movie release. Everyone will announce 6 months before movie date if they want to release during sankranthi.

I strongly beleive that none of the Trivikram's movies cannot be remade! His super strong literature into the scripts and dialogues make it complex for other languages to copy actually!

I think BGM plays a crucial role in mass commercial movies which was key factor in AVPL. Whether it's the Bantu's actual heritage revelation, the romantic scene, comic scenes and fight scenes. Hell they planted different BGM for each action scene and hilariously staged the climax fight with Sittharala Sirapadu song adding magic to AA' s stylish swag. That's what made the movie entertaining. PS: I have watched the movie over 100 times🤣. Planning to watch again after this comment😎

TBH, I realised the importance of nuances in a commercial movie too after watching Shehzada. As a Telugu girl who watched Shehzada for the love of Karthik Aryan it failed for me on so many levels. 1. Lack of screen presence of Yashoda's character: The motivations of Yashoda were clearly explained in AVPL through a scene where she states that I can't accept that some random guy is better than my son. Hence showing the character arc from not even discussing to accepting Bantu without knowing the truth as her son. 2. Raj and Bantu's contrasting personalities and their character developments. For Raj being buried under pressure with low self esteem to expressing thoroughly his needs and on the other hand for Bantu, being bluntly honest to hiding the biggest truth for the sake of his loved ones. ( In Hindi, Raj's rant felt very unspecific to his situation, more like a general commentary on the nepotism) Hence when in Telugu you see Raj angry you actually feel relieved and understand his strength is coming from his love for Nandini. 3. The big confrontation: After all these years when the final big reveal has happened in AVPL, you see Bantu in disbelief gradually growing towards acceptance and eventually anger. Here is where Trivikram's genius screenplay comes to action with images running in the background and Thaman's brilliant BGM, and when finally AA hits Valmiki you as a audience feel connected too. In Hindi this whole sequence felt like KA wasn't even fighting for his own injustice but rather reacting to something he saw on social media. 4. The consistency in Valmiki's vile nature: Characters like this might come across you IRL too. You will hate them and can't change them neither kill them ( like killing villains ) but they exist. Here is where Trivikram sir excels in showing that in the last scene where he asks his son to just work harder and quicker to get back to being CEO, but fails when he learns that Raj doesn't have any such intentions (showing that all his deeds went in vain).

I think Kartik is overconfident now. His BB2 earned coz the Bollywood movie compelled the audience to go and watch a movie in theatres due to covid and the SSR cases. BB2 was just an average movie but Kartik was backed up by audience who wanted him to make big after SSR. His Freddy and Dhamaka were average too.

Totally agreed! The sad stories, daddy song, boardroom scene were actually fun to watch. Also I dont know why they changed the profession. They changed the stuff that shouldnt have been changed whereas the stuff they could change was left untouched. A really sad remake. PS I loved Shahid in Jersey, which I feel was a better remake than kabir singh (unpopular opinion).

It's actually kartik aaryan's least opening day collection (even low than sonu ke titu ki sweety) BB2 - 14 cr Love aaj kal 2 - 12 cr Pati patni aur wo - 9 cr Luka chuppi - 8 cr Sonu ke titu ki sweety - 6.5 cr Shehzada - 6 cr Graph mast upar chal raha tha lekin ek remake ne bahot badi break mar di, hope aage sab original movies hi kare kartik 🤞🤞🤞

Allu arjun has huge fan following in kerala , avpl was huge hit in kerala

AA was the first South Indian star with whom I started watching South Indian dubbed movies . And Now I prefer South Indian movies as compared to Bollywood movies. AVPL is such a nice movie especially elevated with songs which are still in my playlists.

As you said AVPL is a blockbuster in telugu speaking states not only because of bunny's acting but also trivikram's dialogues. We call him 'Maatala Mantrikudu' (Magician of dialogues). He keeps it simple yet so impacting.

I had the same thoughts about the dance choreography featured on the songs. Kartik's footwork is appreciable but got way too monotonous. Ramulo ramula is high on energy and beats but the hindi version... They killed the soul and essence of it.

I feel so bad for Kartik!!!! I feel he deserves better. We hardly find actors with this kind of conviction and commitment!!! I wish he makes an amazing comeback with something original!!! 💔

After observing all these stuffs the conclusion is : Never be OVER-CONFIDENT, and never ever BOAST ur SUCCESS. By being achievable about one thing or one day, you haven’t done anything unique to the world or something which have not been done before. Be realistic and flow with time requirements 💯✅👍🏻🤞🏻🔥

Jammy we all know that producers are just cashing in his new found stardom and not even his roles but his dance steps are typecasted

I remembered kartik’s interview in Aap ki Adalat , he is next superstar after srk, srk bhaijan amir they ruled for decades, that made them biggest superstars of bollywood, the stardom which they carry do not came just after hit of one movie, Kartik needs to realise this

Bhool bhulaiyaa 2 has the exact story line of Malayalam movie 'geethanjali'' which was the debut film of keerthy suresh,that movie was also adapted from 'charulatha'starring Priya mani. Bollywood's creative side is dead right now... especially the movies and songs🥺 everything is boring 'geethanjali' was a sequel universe to 'manichitrathazhu 'because the same characters were there in the story.. hence bhool bhulaiyaa was a remake of manichitrathazhu,they took this story i think .....From Bollywood's creative side today I can say it is completely a copy and nobody from the north knew this movie,so it made wonders in the boxoffice!

I resonate with you 💯 Thankyou Jammy Sir. AVPL's success was totally driven by AA, SS.Thaman and Trivikram. In Shehzada they could have done a lot or atleast kept the boardroom scene.

One And Only Stylish Star Allu Arjun 💥🔥

Trivikram is a brilliant writer than a director. His dialogues are poetic and really profound sometimes. And yes, he excels in creating parallels to Hindu mythology. Watch Aravinda sametha directed by Trivikram starring jr ntr. It’s a different take on the faction genre of Telugu cinema (Jai ballaya) which deals with the aftermath of the war rather than the fight itself and focuses on the protagonists struggle to find a peaceful solution to the conflict. It’s excellently made and one of Trivikram best films. Great symbolisms and philosophy.

I really feel that kartik did act good in this film.... The only problem was that the director made him copy allu arjun's style which is almost impossible for any actor to achieve.... Every actor is unique so if rohit dhawan had allowed kartik to interpret and act like he wanted, the overall output might have been good.... Moreover I feel kartik should improve his choice of films... He is really a gem ❣️❣️

Man I still remember when the boardroom scene started, the audience went crazy. It was so nicely done tbh, I had a blast. The climax fight as well, the buildup, the song and the breezy action with Allu swag🔥. The movie started off very well too with that fight on the football field. It was a normal movie with well staged scenes. I really enjoyed the movie when it came out, in a packed theatre with all the hooting and cheering.

I don't think anyone can replicate what Allu Arjun does. And I don't even watch a lot of Telugu movies (or any movies in general)

I honestly thought that if the board room scene if existed in the Hindi Version, Karthik Aryan would have entered the room with don (big B's version). Like imagine the perfect edit where Karthik entering room after the lyrics main hoon kaun, ..and quick zoom ins into the board members face while bgm goes "don don don don....dooooon!!"

I watched ala venkatapurumulu with English subtitles even before it was hindi dubbed because I don’t miss any of allu arjun movies. Now i wonder why bollywood was confident that allu arjun movie remake would be a hit. No it cant be better than original

Problem was not Kartik but the comparison to the original Audience in my theatre laughed and cheered throughout but only for Kartik The other characters had no impact whatsoever Think the problem was the screenplay and direction Still think Kartik is a fun watch 😊

You have to understand that allu arjun is a big star compared to kartik aryan....he is more popular than many bollywood star in overseas..His hindi dubbed sarrainodu was released in nepal and it was housefull for weeks in Nepalese theatre...He is more popular than even ranbir kapoor,ranveer singh,Shahid kapooe etc..people always waits his hindi dubbed movies...kartik aryan cannot match his attitude,elegance,grace,flair....And he is terrific dancer too...Making a remake of bigger star's film with kartik aryan is the dumbest idea because people have already watched with allu arjun's ala vaikunthapuramullo...

It's really difficult to be a mass hero. A mass hero connects to a large number of (different types of) audience. So the talent is god gifted or inborn. It can't be replicated. Anyway Karthik has a huge teenager fan following, he will definitely try something new next time

Jammy… I am from Andhra.. I precisely know the reason for this debacle.. not just this movie but all remakes in the past. The reason is: the legendary director turned writer Trivikram. The telugu version’s huge success was 50% because of Trivikram’s dialogues, 20% AA, 20% Thaman’s music and rest 10% was the story. This is the same with most of Trivikram’s blockbusters. Story is just 10%. Most of the success is because of Trivikram’s dialogues. He is known as “Maatala maantrikudu” which poorly translates to a magician of dialogue. Obviously, this is what is precisely missing in all his movie remakes. I am sure everyone from AP and Telangana will echo with my comments.

Glad that you talked about Main tera Hero..keeping some of his recent below the mark ventures aside, he really has shown good comic timing in Main tera Hero, Dishoom ,Badri and even Judwaa 2(which was an enjoyable carefree theater viewing experience)

And not to mention that AVPL had some of the best song & dance-sequences of the year, Shehzaada didn't have a single 'good' song!

Kartik Aryan has a fan following, but I feel he's trying to be like other actors. He's quite a good actor with comic timing as proven in pyaar ka punchnama movies. Remakes are just on an overdose. Also matching Allu Arjun is no easy task

I feel like people didn't watched it as the original was already so popular even among hindi speaking audience that most of us have already watched it

Industry targets Kartik a lot... Different articles were written which indirectly target Kartik without mentioning his name.Even Shows like Koffee with Karan , That Sara Janvi episode they are continuously teasing Kartik's name and Karan tried to establish him as a playboy.. Indirectly saying that Kartik had dated both of them, he is everyone's ex and many more..You can say that star kid's are always targeted but after watching that episode I feel sometimes people called out Karan Johar for right reasons...He and his Nepo babies don't know acting but very well know how to target self made actors and use their name for fame..I won't be surprised if 3 of them target Vijay Devarakonda in the next season...

It's very important to understand that an Allu Arjun film cannot be remade bcoz he has his own style and mannerisms which cannot be replicated

I watched that board room scene twice just replaying it coz i was not satisfied by just one watch, to remove it completely really is criminal and the next reason as i am saying all the time is allu arjun's charm and how he perfectly fit the role, it was just an irreplaceable experience

The biggest reason for its failure is that it is a remake and public now likes to see something impactful and different which is out of the box and if it's not out of box then it has atleast any xfactor which will contribute towards its watchablity And why would anyone want to watch such a movie in theaters by paying their money which is already available on TV and several other mediums? And those who say that this or that reason is the reason for the success of BB2, the actual reason of its success not kartik from my perceptive but of good timing and everything went in favour of that film from good word of mouth to franchise factor in addition with good acting but here in case of shehzada sadly nothing is in its favour

One more point Sushanth's character was never blamed in the original movie for being rich brat or dumb idiot.... But in Shehzada the character is shown as dumb idiot and nepotism dialogues are forcefully throwed at him

Love your content, I’m a fan. One thing that is beyond me though, is people thinking Kartik is a talented actor. Your review of Dhamaka for me was really difficult to watch and understand. Maybe I’m missing something.. but couldn’t one of the biggest reason for Shehzada’s failure be that Kartik doesn’t have the swag.. if he’s not playing the innocent or confused funny guy he just doesn’t seem to have the solid screen presence to command respect. His fight sequences are embarrassing to watch. I’m surprised you don’t mention it at all.

AA swag is different and Kartik Aryan cuteness is different! What makes AVPL special is Trivikram sir organic dialogues and mythology adoption and Thaman Bgm and music. KA did his part perfectly. One who didn't watch AVPL or don't mind remake maybe will surely enjoy Shehzada.

It’s high time to realize that Kartik Aryan is not someone you ride your money on. Kartik became a star even before he had any good films in his kitty. Producers mistook the success of Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 as Kartik Aryan’s exaggerated stardom. Kartik may not be the worst actor but he is yet prove his mettle. His films Freddy and Dhamaka were so bad because of Aryan’s lack of conviction and lack of acting chops.

What went wrong-Rohit Dhawan

As a telugu audience with telugu cinematic sensibilities I would say...Karthik, with that talakattu (that towel wrapped around the head..donno what thats called in Hindi) with a Ray-Ban and chewing a beedi was looking absolute badass...I give it a 10/10 on style... Infact he was better than AA there... But the rest of the scenes couldn't really match up with the original. I donno what's this obsession of Bollywood film makers with those ultra luxurious, immaculate, super clean, super bright, palatial homes that just refuse to be human. The audience will have to beat himself very heavily down to connect with such a landscape in first place, leave alone getting immersed in it and getting along with the story. Something superlative doesn't have to be something non-humanish, non -normalish. The geography, the overbright color tones, a mediocre music, not so great dialogues, improper & inconsistent character sketching, below par emotional intensity (unlike the original)... all have come together to ruin the film. If these were the same in telugu version, even that would have been a flop...no doubt.

YOU CAN SPOIL THIS WE WOULDN'T MIND AT ALL 😭😭

Yeh to hona hi tha. Remake ki dukan ab band karo. Especially south Indian movie remake

Kartik Aryan is a mediocre actor, Rohit Dhawan is a mediocre director, Original was a mediocre film, on top of that the trailer was terrible. Why anyone had any expectations is beyond me.

The courtroom scene was the only reason I had gone to the theatres 😭

Jammu you are missing the point about legs fantasy in avpl. There is a scene where pooja tells allu arjun through an example of keeping an object on allu arjun’s head as an anology “When you have responsibilities on head you wont look on other things” its Trivikram way of playing with words. I think it got missed in translation.

Only watch shehzaada if you haven’t seen Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo. That’s what I have to say regarding all this. Most people have already seen the original Telegu version. It’s the same movie so why would people want to watch it ? What is unique about this movie ?

Remake of Allu Arjun's movie that was released during the pandemic on Netflix. Hundreds of thousands of people have seen the movie, why would they waste money to see a bad remake of AVPL? Kartik cannot match Allu Arjun's swag. And right after the success of Pushpa, everyone watched AVPL

The makers knew they had a dud on their hands when they moved the release date of the film. Can you imagine the opening amount they would have get if they had released it last week? Out of respect for Pathaan my arse! Lol.

1.Y people do remake which is already a hit already in "today era" while there is social platform which releases it with either subtitles or hindi dubbed?? 2.AVPL was a hit because of various reasons.. 2.1 Allu arjun performance in various scenes " Boardroom scene, All his entry scene, Police scene, fun banter with Pooja "madam madam" 2.2 Dialogue and chart busters 2.3 Emotional connect 2.4 Other actors also did nice job.. specially "Murali sir as Valmiki & Sachin sir as grandpa".. 3. Shehzada did miss all of the points.. "All frames were all looking like Circus" "big disappoint"

The only motive of the remake was to ride on Kartik's success and make easy money. They tried to make it with a budget as low as possible. No serious work on song lyrics. Most of the film scenes look like it has been shot with a green screen with 120% brightness. Emotion was missing. We can clearly see that there was a budget crunch and because of which Kartik had to come as producer. As advanced booking was low they had to come with buy one get one offer to at least recover the cost of making. I feel Rohit Dhavan needs to think that it's not the 90s where he could just simply copy Tollywood movies and make money like David Dhavan did.

Whose idea was to release a remake of an Allu Arjun movie which is now available in Hindi Dub?

Rohit Dhawan's plan got successful to give Karthik a setback. As he was stealing the place of Varun Dhawan. 😂😂😂 Well played Rohit

I seriously don't know what the hell happened to Jammy sir, such an analytic person did not find any flaws In kartik's performance. You yourself has given a solid proof, just look allu arjun in every pic of AVPL in this video and u ll find out what in his mind(happy, angry, flirt, emotional atc) by his expressions. On the other hand you ll see a wooden expression less kartik aryan.

What was wrong with the movie? The movie itself.

Jammy you and me attribute success of bb2 to Tabu😂🙋

AVPL is a mass film packaged in a Classy way. Emotions are seasoned with good screen frames. Music was too good which stayed true likes Daddy song, Samajavaragamana and ramullo ramulla. Hindi version was a dud right from its trailer release.

people underestimate the direction capacity of trivikram and sukumar , when these two directors are upcoming and ss rajamouli is well established , when asked about his competition rajamouli said " he fears sukumar and trivikram as competators"

Trivikram Sir is itself a Epic Writer-Director. Despite his movies are Hits or Flops you enjoy his movies because of it's Crazy, Funny and at the same time Serious Elements example: Jalsa, Khaleeja and Aravinda Sametha and many more.

An Allu Arjun film is being remaked it's the biggest joke.Why re- making a film which is already a blockbuster at a Box-Office and a got a 100m views in RU-vid?

Even climax in avpl is another level it was new to telugu audience and we were in awww❤

in most remakes the comedy portion is removed in the hindi movies.i didn't know why.....but now i think maybe because they want to pack the movie in 1 genre like hollywood unlike tamil and telugu movies where its a masala of all.the roles played by vadivelu,vivek,brahmanandam,sunil and many comedians roles get cut of in hindi movies.there are not many comedians in bollywood because they do this.

actually while remaking a movie even with the thought of it we select a movie lacking good screenplay or direction or music and try to correct the mistakes and enhance the movie. But selecting avpl, a movie well endowed in every known aspect ever known, the remake will definitely have to be over the top which shehzada is obsolutely not.

I can't even believe it has a rating of 8/10 in IMDB...🤫 Even more than Ant-Man.Quantumania..

drishyam 2 worked because its a sequel. other than that remakes are no longer saleable

Trivikram movies are all about showing two different perspective towards the same or single incident, dialogues in a very simple story

How can u think the charisma of aa will b replaced by kartik aryan

Agreed! The story of Ala vaikuntapuramlo is quite simple and nothing special in the story. It was Allu Arjun's screen presence, thaman's music and the screenplay made this movie so special. Poor decision by the makers to remake avlp.

The only remake i felt deserved better reception was Vikram Vedha. Saif and Hrithik maybe starkids with lots of privilege but no doubt two of the finest actors Bolly ever produced

There is a thing with Trivikram's films none of his films that are remade in the other languages work. The reason is his screen writing, layers and dialogues are so strong that others can't replicate it and trying to mimic it is completely foolish.

I am sorry, Kartik was really average in BB2 and the storyline was really flat to support his & Kiara's character which made Tabu shine out as different and I now find him same in Shehzaada, he has similar style of acting in most of his comedy movies. Liked him in Freddy & new Love aaj kal.

Not to forget that Avpl also has brahmanandam sir for a cameo in Ramulo ramula song. That man is a comedic legend and god to Telugu memes. He has been missed on the screen for at least 2 years and trivikram made a perfect use of his hype and kept his cameo a secret. The theatre were thundered with applause when we saw Brahmi sir on screen it is also contributed to some extent on the film’s first weekend

I think director's own bro Varun would have suited the part better...he is more filmi than kartik & that's what you need in movies like these

The real reason is that reviewers like you have made this ordinary and limited actor a hyped star and now you are forced to rectify your biased praise of him through this additional video. Tell me when in the past you made additional video for update and reason of the low initial box office collection??? The question is why the 1st day collection is low and you are telling the whole story. People now sniff around a bad movie a bit early irrespective of who stars in it as they are now having availability of multiple ott avenues as well as they decide through trailer only whether to watch the movie or not as they can afford to see very few movies in theatres due to sky high cost of watching movies. Sorry if I have hurt your feelings. 🙏🙏🙏

I could sense that below the mass scenes in AVPL, there did exist something philosophical. Idk how deep the references meant! I had just enjoyed the movie for its absurdity and songs ofc.

Just in terms of buzz of the movie, I think and am follower that there should be one chartbuster song atleast to get people take notice of the movie. What Besharam Rang was for Pathaan or Bhool Bhulaiya 2.0 for that matter. That’s completely missing here.
