As per our in-house review report; "Since the very first scene, 'Shehzada' has been a direct remake of Allu Arjun's Telugu drama 'Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo'. Similar to Bollywood films from the '90s, where most plots involved a child being traded, abducted, or getting lost in a mela, and so on. The Kartik Aaryan-starring remake ought to be contrasted with the original, and the actor with Allu Arjun. Before the intermission appears on the big screen, the movie is full of amusing sequences between the father-son duo of Paresh Rawal and Karthik Aaryan, who don't exactly get along. As the lead character's love interest, Kriti Sanon enters the scene amid all the chaos and vows to alter his course.
"With a few lively songs, extreme action, and a vicious villain who approaches the protagonist gradually, the movie thus far seems like a typical Bollywood entertainer."
Audiences have also begun sharing their reviews about the film on Twitter. Many have called the film a 'decent' entertainer while others have gone on to announce that it is a 'hit'.
