And, also allu arjun's father allu arvind is to be blamed As he himself produced this remake! Had he directly released the original in hindi dubbed instead of adapting it in hindi It would have been far better and Kartik need not have to face unnecessary hate!
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
A star in north india due to hindi dubbed reruns and catapulted even more after Pushpa. It is no joke & a reality that people would not want an alternative to the man
I felt exactly this when i watched the trailer. Most people have already watched the original in hindi dub. Why would anyone bother watching it again staring a lower rank actor.
The board room scene in AVPL was an INSANE THEATRICAL EXPERIENCE! Watching bunny perform to Tarak, Mahesh, Pawan Kalyan, Chiru songs was so entertaining!
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?
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 agree. Its the story version. But the subtext in that is he is anjaneya and came to serve Rama. In starting of the film valmiki tells the purohit that "rambantu ante anjaneyaswamiki gudi katti pooja cheyyatle?(we are worshipping hanuman with name "rambantu") Then the purohit asks valmiki "veedu evadiki bantu?(whose servant is he)" . Obviously to Rama ie jayaram whose is name is ramachandra in the movie.

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
I couldn’t under how you can call AVPL cringe. Even the leg fetish thing didn’t come across as half creepy as the Hindi audience is making it out to be. And these same people loved SRK’s boobi dialogues in Pathaan.🤷🏻♂😅
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.
Yeah. Bollywood audience don't want remake anymore unless it provides something different. Which Bhola seems to be going for. Tho even Bhola's first trailer was not liked but it's the 2nd that did bcs it showed something more. Whereas Shazada and Selfie r just plain remake.
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.
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.
@@TriedRefusedProductions He was, he is and he will be anything but an actor. Sorry to say sir but your priorities are also changed (from a reviewer to an interviewer)
Enjoying his character?Lol. Allu Arjun was basically being himself. It was produced by his father, the movie was tailor made for him than him fitting the character.
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!
Nice to see that I wasn't the only person who felt Murali Sharma gave one of his career-best performance as Valmiki. Good to see that his name features 3 times out of 5 in your reasons. Even though I haven't watched the remake, from the trailer, I was far from impressed with Paresh Rawal's performance (even though trailer shouldn't be the criteria for reaching a conclusion).
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
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.
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😂
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..
In hindsight, the boardroom scene made Allu Arjun come across as super magnanimous, paying tribute to his own competition! It would have benefited Kartik so much
@@TriedRefusedProductions his PR team is trying to establish him as this young massy superstar so they might have advised him not to do that..but at least karthik or rohit Dhawan should have the foresight to how beneficial it would be for the film..So many ppl would just come to theatre just for that scene..
@@TriedRefusedProductions agreed. We have seen many songs in Hindi movies where a medley of old songs works. Medley song in Maine Pyaar Kiya or Mujhe Dosti Karogi.
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'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.
At The Same Time Released Two Big Stars Movies Its Not Easy to Blockbuster It release with Mahesh Sir Movie Sarileru nekuavaru and both Movies become blockbuster And AA ❤️🔥
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.
You can actually, in a way .... Some people cracked it long ago like Rajamouli and Raju Hirani.... They don't go to a project debating whether it will work or not.... They make their movie in such a way that the audience feel compelled to step out of their comfort zone and couches and go watch it in a theatre
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
You know what's important: not to mimic for the sake of it? They could have played to Kartik's strengths rather than making him a poor man's AA. I think as you mentioned, its biggest failing is its direction. Absolutely lazy and terribly choreographed and edited set pieces
🤣👏Shehzada flop yes bollywood deserve this to remake a hit telugu movie..karthi aryan deserve this overconfidence leads flops..bollywood use original ideas to make movies always finding any hit down south films to remake...bollywood turns to remakewood🤣next in line Bholaa to be flopped👏🤣
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!!
Focus on the craft and original scripts and he will just be fine man. Don't go the star route because there is a long way to go to build that kind of goodwill
🤣👏Shehzada flop yes bollywood deserve this to remake a hit telugu movie..karthi aryan deserve this overconfidence leads flops..bollywood use original ideas to make movies always finding any hit down south films to remake...bollywood turns to remakewood🤣next in line Bholaa to be flopped👏🤣
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.
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).
You summed up really well but the biggest let down of the movie was the main lead himself. Karthik Aryan simply was trying to fit into the shoes that were too huge for him. I don’t whose idea it was to copy AA in the fight scenes etc, because Karthik was looking like an absolute eye sore in those scenes.
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
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.
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).
Jersey not gaining anything at all in B.O was disheartening for me as i went to see the movie in theatre and i was stunned by the end on how good this movie was. Thanks to KGF at that time nobody even bothered to check the movie and even the songs which were great didn't catched much attention.
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.
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😎
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 🤞🤞🤞
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
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!!! 💔
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
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 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!!"
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.
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 💯✅👍🏻🤞🏻🔥
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!
One of the reason the movie failed I believed even after putting aside it was a remake, Was the fact they gave away the whole plot of the film in the trailer. when you make a trailer it is supposed to hook the audience into the story by giving small details, which makes them come to the theater to watch the movie to know what happened or to see the story but when you give away the plot and the big revel of the film in the trailer. why would anyone come to watch it?
also the points made in the video are also very good points but when the audience are feed the story in the trailer it fails to bring people to the theater.
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 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.
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
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.
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
That's true and it seems like karthik is original and sticking to his role in movies like Luka chuppi and luv ranjan's films. Sad but he should do sequels to those movies because he's not a strong actor and doesn't have interest to do that. He comes of as an actor who can only put an effort in certain roles
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
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.
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.
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 ❣️❣️
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.
Same thing hit me as well, more often than not Bollywood luxurious family scenes doesn't connect with common people and hard to believe such palace like thing exists within commoners... They exists but a character like valmiki and bantu will never get access inside those Manson in their lifetime
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...
@@udaychoudhary5277 the way those Nepo babies are making fun of him , if two actors are doing the same and called an actress ' everyone's ex' just imagine the outrage...Also calling Vijay Devarakonda cheese was also extremely cringe..🤢..The poor guy was literally not interested in those Bolly Bimbos and Karan was literally forcing his Nepo babies on VD..
Vijay isn't a baby.. he will publicly call anyone out and he can handle any rumours and answer it with ease.. during Arjun Reddy we all saw how he handled media and so called influencers
Well..first of all..most ppl never watch kwk..so arent aware of any of these things..according to me,it’s kartik and his PR team trying so hard to establish him as the next superstar after srk..he said in multiple interviews m producers k paise double kar deta hun..which is akshay line..he got bb2 and hera pheri 3 both r beloved franchises built by akshay..so if anything,it karthik who is too arrogrant and trying hard to become like srk,akshay which isn’t possible coz they have worked hard for so many years..
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"
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...
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.
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)
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.
For ex:- In a scene where tabu asks AA to tell about her, he says abt her husbands back story. Then jayaram comes and slaps AA in anger and says "Chinnappudu amma annam tinakapote boochaadu vastadu ani cheptundi. Ante abadham cheppinatta? Evarinaina preminchi chudu, abadham viluva telustundi" Try to translate in english for non telugu ppl " in our childhood, if we didnt take food then mother will say "if u dont eat food demon will come" means is she lying? If u love anybody, then u'll know the value of lie" Then AA replies "Ade amma pedda ayyaka annam tinaka pote neerasam vastundi ani cheptundi. Buchodu vastadani cheppadu. Evarinaina premiste abadham viluva telustundi. Correcte. Kani nijam cheptene kada aa prema enta gattido telustundi" Just sense of the dailogue "But the same mother, when we grew up, will say "u will become weak, if u dont take food" but not "demon will come. If we love any body, we can know the value of a lie. But only after u tell the truth, others can know how strong ur love is" He explains every thing with example like a teacher. In TFI if SSR is our magnifying gl glass, Trivikram is our microscope.
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 😊
They didn’t write any of the characters well. AVPL ‘s supporting cast was one of it’s biggest strength. But here to elevate Karthik’s character, they dumbed the rest of the characters.
I actually prefer Kartik over Allu as an actor, but I dont see the point of watching a remake, specially when all the reviews say that the original was far superior. I guess I will have to wait Kartik's next projet.
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
Exactly...Sushant's character was beautifully written and well executed as well. His character basically represents any Indian kid's mentality 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-hustle culture of society).
@@unnatambasta2725 I'm not saying that dialogue ruined it.. I'm saying that portrayal of Sushanth character in AVPL was good but in Shehzada it is ruined and forced to make us don't like the character
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.
And the way every star’s fan felt represented there was a classic move by Trivikram. I remember people watching the movie again and again just for that scene.
Yupp. Even the casting is weak. Instead of Paresh Rawal ji, they could've casted Boman irani. Also Manish ji, did not give a strong woman vibe, instead she looked helpless. Maybe raveena Tandon ji might have suited well.
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.
As a Telugu speaker, the court room scene not only pays homage to the greats in the industry but Mr.Allu Arjun plays songs from his fellow generation actors...shows a lot of guts (as a superstar himself and that there is or shouldn't be any hate between fellow actors or their fans). BTW, I know you hate the courtroom scene, but I hope someone who is a Telugu speaker translates the true meaning for that scene, It means "buntu...it is not just long legs (beautiful body) but look in to a woman's eyes and heart". Pooja in an interview, explains it really well.. - the true lovely meaning.
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.
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"
Lol that's the humblenes of Rajamouli, not that he was less.... It was just after Jagadam release.... At that time Trivikram made better films than Rajamouli but soon After Magadheera, (Jalsa of Trivikram) the tables turned.... Trivikram became super cheesy.... He is one of the greatest Dialogue Writers but a very AVERAGE Director to be honest.... But Sukumar was thop then, and Thope now.... Both Rajamouli and Sukumar are miles ahead of Trivikram in direction (not dialogue writing)
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 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.
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.
The message is loud and clear. Stop banking on the success of south movies by remaking them. The audience is grown and mature now and they know the difference between an original and loosely packed over the top crappy product.
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.
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 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.
@@cylon_aspect6474 absolutely right bro, Kartik is full of ego and attitude. The worst thing he did when he took entire credit for the success of bhool bhulaiyaa returns.
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
This also shows why SRK (and possibly Salman) is indeed the last of the superstars. Irrespective of the quality of the film, they guarantee a bumper opening, even though it might eventually fizzle out if the film isn't appreciated by the audience. That's not true for anyone in the current generation. Unless your film stands out, it will be rejected en masse from day one. I admire Kartik Aaryan and his story. I hope this works as a reality check for him and that he chooses scripts more diligently from now on.
The huge difference is that director trivikram invested much more into proper literature and brought an old concept of a story and showcased it in new light. The story may have been repitituve but the literature and a sense of relatability was infused because the terms and poetic songs are held with regional emotions close to the south land especially Telugu. It's not someone's fault from the north land that couldn't relate or understand it but trying to remake it just for commercial success would not work.
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
To remake an wholesome entertainment genre is a tough task. AVPL has a lot of telugu nativity touch because of Trivikrams dialogs and his way of storytelling. Trivikram is already a legend in telugu dialog writing. No other writer in telugu brings such uniqueness as he does. Subtitles does not do justice to the brilliance of the dialogs he writes in telugu. AVPL is a massive hit because of multiple reasons. Allu arjun, Trivikrams storytelling, entertainment, Thamans great music, different climax and many good characters in the movie. It is difficult to recreate the magic of this movie.
I think after sudden sucess of Bhul bhulaiya Kartik was somewhat overconfident about his skills and up being disastrous fail whether its freddy and now this...
They downgraded that movie in the remake. Original character was somewhat charismatic due to Allu Arjun but Kartik couldn't pull it off and it all turned cringe in this one. Also the original is already available.
I don’t understand you’re in a creative industry, how can you make remakes? Inspiration is fine. I am a writer, if I cannot think of new ideas I can literally go mad. Directors and writers like this are insults to our field
Naklibazi Kay adatt par chuki hay. Once you become a copycat or more should I say cheater and found success it's really hard to go back and work hard again. Even the great David dhavan after started copying from others works he didn't manage to go back. once he use to create original works but now naklibazi has turned him into silly director who makes shitty version of his own movies. Rohit shetty is also suffering in this case now. Thank God we have directors like hirani and Kabir khan or else the disease of naklibazi would have killed Bollywood
For the original Telugu movie songs played a big role in catapulting to the masses. There is not even one song in the entire Hindi remake that stands out
And the major twist in AVPL was we didn't know the story from the trailer here the whole story was displayed when he gets to know that he was exchanged to babies being exchanged the excitement factor for those who didn't also also die there.
If you ask any North Indian about South Indian actors ,the first three names they'll probably say will be Mahesh Babu,Rajnikanth and Allu Arjun because most of the movies dubbed in Hindi from the beginning of the South Indian dubbed Era were theirs.. Here,if I specifically talk about AA then North Indians don't have to think about Pushpa(his recent one),they already know him from ARYA-EK DEEWANA, SANGHARSH & VIJAY and many more..
Off late, I feel most of the people I have observed have turned towards regional cinema, than the bollywood films, including me. And I have grown up enjoying predominantly bollywood films.
I donno why you ever thought this movie will work... The telugu worked only cos of the antics of Allu Arjun and the comic timing of Trivikram Srinivas... This hindi version was so bland and all the good comedy was chopped off.. the romance with Heroine.. while not the best example in telugu version itself... looked Forced
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.
*what went wrong with the movie? the movie itself*
Exactly
The best tagline for this movie has been given by the review made by Indian Express 'Its a crime to make such a movie in the 21st century'.
And, also allu arjun's father allu arvind is to be blamed
As he himself produced this remake!
Had he directly released the original in hindi dubbed instead of adapting it in hindi
It would have been far better and Kartik need not have to face unnecessary hate!

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
A star in north india due to hindi dubbed reruns and catapulted even more after Pushpa. It is no joke & a reality that people would not want an alternative to the man
It's basically like remaking a Ajay or a akshay hit movie now.
I felt exactly this when i watched the trailer. Most people have already watched the original in hindi dub. Why would anyone bother watching it again staring a lower rank actor.

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?
True that 🥂
And let's not forget that song was made to sing by the main villain character itself. It's almost like a unanimous hero-elevation for AA✨
That sequence is amazing
One can never compare to AA. Period
Sitharal sirapadu is definitely very good
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
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 agree. Its the story version. But the subtext in that is he is anjaneya and came to serve Rama. In starting of the film valmiki tells the purohit that "rambantu ante anjaneyaswamiki gudi katti pooja cheyyatle?(we are worshipping hanuman with name "rambantu") Then the purohit asks valmiki "veedu evadiki bantu?(whose servant is he)" . Obviously to Rama ie jayaram whose is name is ramachandra in the movie.

@@kanaka7552 i never called it cringe bruh
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.
The fatigue already happened.
Wait for Ajay Devgan's Bhoola which is remake of Kaithi
Yeah. Bollywood audience don't want remake anymore unless it provides something different. Which Bhola seems to be going for.
Tho even Bhola's first trailer was not liked but it's the 2nd that did bcs it showed something more. Whereas Shazada and Selfie r just plain remake.
Remake of a average movie is not going to work
Sooner??? Remakes are happening since last 10 or 12 years. I think a decade is pretty long period.
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.
That was a remake too.. but we'll adapted
I was just thinking the same 🤷🏽♀️

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.
Other than the cited reasons, talent wise Bollywood is lagging in miles especially the main leads.
True
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.
Was definitely trying to prove a point as a MASS hero. It just did not come across as natural.
He’s good in eve-teasing scenes
@@TriedRefusedProductions He was, he is and he will be anything but an actor. Sorry to say sir but your priorities are also changed (from a reviewer to an interviewer)

Nice to see that I wasn't the only person who felt Murali Sharma gave one of his career-best performance as Valmiki. Good to see that his name features 3 times out of 5 in your reasons. Even though I haven't watched the remake, from the trailer, I was far from impressed with Paresh Rawal's performance (even though trailer shouldn't be the criteria for reaching a conclusion).
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
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.
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😂
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..
In hindsight, the boardroom scene made Allu Arjun come across as super magnanimous, paying tribute to his own competition! It would have benefited Kartik so much
@@FloralTarotReaderwill watch today itself.
@@TriedRefusedProductions his PR team is trying to establish him as this young massy superstar so they might have advised him not to do that..but at least karthik or rohit Dhawan should have the foresight to how beneficial it would be for the film..So many ppl would just come to theatre just for that scene..
@@FloralTarotReader will watch it..hope they play dhak dhak karne laga as that last song..
@@TriedRefusedProductions agreed. We have seen many songs in Hindi movies where a medley of old songs works.
Medley song in Maine Pyaar Kiya or Mujhe Dosti Karogi.
One big plus point for AVPL is it's brilliant music.....Thaman has given his best❤
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!
remade*
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.

what potential? dude is a horrible actor
sorry but the only potential he has is to show his two teeth and smile ..acting me wo average nepo kid jitna hi hai
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.
BB2 worked because it clashed against Dhaakad 😁
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).

Good write up akka
Kadva sach - Kartik doesn’t know acting, not intense one.
You summed up really well but the biggest let down of the movie was the main lead himself. Karthik Aryan simply was trying to fit into the shoes that were too huge for him. I don’t whose idea it was to copy AA in the fight scenes etc, because Karthik was looking like an absolute eye sore in those scenes.
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
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.
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).
the changes they made contributed nothing to the film!
@@TriedRefusedProductions Exactly! The scene where they show the mother is dead was the point you knew the movie is here to inflict self harm.
Jersey not gaining anything at all in B.O was disheartening for me as i went to see the movie in theatre and i was stunned by the end on how good this movie was. Thanks to KGF at that time nobody even bothered to check the movie and even the songs which were great didn't catched much attention.

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😎

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 🤞🤞🤞
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!
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
Drishyam 2 bhi to remake tha...if the actor is sub par why should people watch cringe movies. Covid ka time alag tha abr nahi chalega cringy acting.
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!!! 💔
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
Allu arjun has huge fan following in kerala , avpl was huge hit in kerala
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 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!!"
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.
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 💯✅👍🏻🤞🏻🔥

My man was doing footwork steps in a diwali dance number. They did him dirty
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!
Manichitrathazu was a remake of a Korean movie
One of the reason the movie failed I believed even after putting aside it was a remake, Was the fact they gave away the whole plot of the film in the trailer. when you make a trailer it is supposed to hook the audience into the story by giving small details, which makes them come to the theater to watch the movie to know what happened or to see the story but when you give away the plot and the big revel of the film in the trailer. why would anyone come to watch it?
also the points made in the video are also very good points but when the audience are feed the story in the trailer it fails to bring people to the theater.
NO ONE CAN BEAT ALLU ARJUN STYLE OF ACTING AND DANCE
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
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
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.
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)
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
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
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.
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
That's true and it seems like karthik is original and sticking to his role in movies like Luka chuppi and luv ranjan's films. Sad but he should do sequels to those movies because he's not a strong actor and doesn't have interest to do that. He comes of as an actor who can only put an effort in certain roles
He is no more acting. It’s like it’s his split personality we see in each 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
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.
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.
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 ❣️❣️
Should have worked to his strengths rather than aping the original.
@@TriedRefusedProductions Can you review Dhanush's Tamil movie Vaathi directed by Venky Atluri.I heard that is gathering good reviews.
@@TriedRefusedProductions like how Ranbir tried to act like Kartik and failed miserably and looking a joker in tu jhooti main makkar😘
@@NV-oi9ov nice joke 🤣
This is not the only problem what the director did, It was the entire problem what the director did. Nakal kiya par akal nahi lagaya.
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.
💫💫✨✨
👇👇👆👆
Absolutely correct brother. They could have shown some good bungalow like in the original but this palatial setting is very heavily to connect.
Dude you know what they say everything before "but" is horse shit 🤣
Same thing hit me as well, more often than not Bollywood luxurious family scenes doesn't connect with common people and hard to believe such palace like thing exists within commoners... They exists but a character like valmiki and bantu will never get access inside those Manson in their lifetime
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...
Sara and Janvi should be casted in Mean Girls Indian version if ever made...😅
Well it's true . Kartik is everyone's PR Target .
@@udaychoudhary5277 the way those Nepo babies are making fun of him , if two actors are doing the same and called an actress ' everyone's ex' just imagine the outrage...Also calling Vijay Devarakonda cheese was also extremely cringe..🤢..The poor guy was literally not interested in those Bolly Bimbos and Karan was literally forcing his Nepo babies on VD..
Vijay isn't a baby.. he will publicly call anyone out and he can handle any rumours and answer it with ease.. during Arjun Reddy we all saw how he handled media and so called influencers
Well..first of all..most ppl never watch kwk..so arent aware of any of these things..according to me,it’s kartik and his PR team trying so hard to establish him as the next superstar after srk..he said in multiple interviews m producers k paise double kar deta hun..which is akshay line..he got bb2 and hera pheri 3 both r beloved franchises built by akshay..so if anything,it karthik who is too arrogrant and trying hard to become like srk,akshay which isn’t possible coz they have worked hard for so many years..
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"
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...
True
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.
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)
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.
For ex:-
In a scene where tabu asks AA to tell about her, he says abt her husbands back story. Then jayaram comes and slaps AA in anger and says
"Chinnappudu amma annam tinakapote boochaadu vastadu ani cheptundi. Ante abadham cheppinatta? Evarinaina preminchi chudu, abadham viluva telustundi"
Try to translate in english for non telugu ppl
" in our childhood, if we didnt take food then mother will say "if u dont eat food demon will come" means is she lying? If u love anybody, then u'll know the value of lie"
Then AA replies
"Ade amma pedda ayyaka annam tinaka pote neerasam vastundi ani cheptundi. Buchodu vastadani cheppadu. Evarinaina premiste abadham viluva telustundi. Correcte. Kani nijam cheptene kada aa prema enta gattido telustundi"
Just sense of the dailogue
"But the same mother, when we grew up, will say "u will become weak, if u dont take food" but not "demon will come. If we love any body, we can know the value of a lie. But only after u tell the truth, others can know how strong ur love is"
He explains every thing with example like a teacher. In TFI if SSR is our magnifying gl glass, Trivikram is our microscope.
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 😊
They didn’t write any of the characters well. AVPL ‘s supporting cast was one of it’s biggest strength. But here to elevate Karthik’s character, they dumbed the rest of the characters.
I actually prefer Kartik over Allu as an actor, but I dont see the point of watching a remake, specially when all the reviews say that the original was far superior.
I guess I will have to wait Kartik's next projet.
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
Do you really think such an illogical dialogue can affect the entire movie
@@unnatambasta2725 You never know🤷♀️
Exactly...Sushant's character was beautifully written and well executed as well. His character basically represents any Indian kid's mentality 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-hustle culture of society).
@@Annsu2017 so it's meaningless because same thing was in kgf 2 also but that time people were cheering.
@@unnatambasta2725 I'm not saying that dialogue ruined it..
I'm saying that portrayal of Sushanth character in AVPL was good but in Shehzada it is ruined and forced to make us don't like the character
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.
And the way every star’s fan felt represented there was a classic move by Trivikram. I remember people watching the movie again and again just for that scene.
Yupp. Even the casting is weak. Instead of Paresh Rawal ji, they could've casted Boman irani. Also Manish ji, did not give a strong woman vibe, instead she looked helpless. Maybe raveena Tandon ji might have suited well.
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.
As a Telugu speaker, the court room scene not only pays homage to the greats in the industry but Mr.Allu Arjun plays songs from his fellow generation actors...shows a lot of guts (as a superstar himself and that there is or shouldn't be any hate between fellow actors or their fans).
BTW, I know you hate the courtroom scene, but I hope someone who is a Telugu speaker translates the true meaning for that scene, It means "buntu...it is not just long legs (beautiful body) but look in to a woman's eyes and heart". Pooja in an interview, explains it really well.. - the true lovely meaning.
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.
I was waiting when this film would pick up the pace and i kept waiting till the end
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"
Rajamoulo said that "i'm safe bcoz trivikram and sukumar dont do mass movies, othetwise i'll be finished".
Lol that's the humblenes of Rajamouli, not that he was less....
It was just after Jagadam release.... At that time Trivikram made better films than Rajamouli but soon After Magadheera, (Jalsa of Trivikram) the tables turned.... Trivikram became super cheesy.... He is one of the greatest Dialogue Writers but a very AVERAGE Director to be honest....
But Sukumar was thop then, and Thope now.... Both Rajamouli and Sukumar are miles ahead of Trivikram in direction (not dialogue writing)
One And Only Stylish Star Allu Arjun 💥🔥
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 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.
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.
The message is loud and clear. Stop banking on the success of south movies by remaking them. The audience is grown and mature now and they know the difference between an original and loosely packed over the top crappy product.
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.
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 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.
Kartik is showing his teeth only in the movie ...one expression and acted same he did in pyar ka panchnama, sonu ki or luka chupi.
@@cylon_aspect6474 absolutely right bro, Kartik is full of ego and attitude. The worst thing he did when he took entire credit for the success of bhool bhulaiyaa returns.
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
This also shows why SRK (and possibly Salman) is indeed the last of the superstars. Irrespective of the quality of the film, they guarantee a bumper opening, even though it might eventually fizzle out if the film isn't appreciated by the audience. That's not true for anyone in the current generation. Unless your film stands out, it will be rejected en masse from day one.
I admire Kartik Aaryan and his story. I hope this works as a reality check for him and that he chooses scripts more diligently from now on.
The huge difference is that director trivikram invested much more into proper literature and brought an old concept of a story and showcased it in new light. The story may have been repitituve but the literature and a sense of relatability was infused because the terms and poetic songs are held with regional emotions close to the south land especially Telugu.
It's not someone's fault from the north land that couldn't relate or understand it but trying to remake it just for commercial success would not work.
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
Also Jersey
Hindi remake has unnecessary elevations, star focus rather than acting itself in the trailer , and it tanked.
8:20 Like how SRK did in Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi with the Phir Milenge Chalte Chalte song which became one of the many highlights of the movie.
To remake an wholesome entertainment genre is a tough task. AVPL has a lot of telugu nativity touch because of Trivikrams dialogs and his way of storytelling. Trivikram is already a legend in telugu dialog writing. No other writer in telugu brings such uniqueness as he does. Subtitles does not do justice to the brilliance of the dialogs he writes in telugu. AVPL is a massive hit because of multiple reasons. Allu arjun, Trivikrams storytelling, entertainment, Thamans great music, different climax and many good characters in the movie. It is difficult to recreate the magic of this movie.
I think after sudden sucess of Bhul bhulaiya Kartik was somewhat overconfident about his skills and up being disastrous fail whether its freddy and now this...
They downgraded that movie in the remake. Original character was somewhat charismatic due to Allu Arjun but Kartik couldn't pull it off and it all turned cringe in this one. Also the original is already available.
Even I didn't like him in Bhool bhulaiya 2 and this one is below par only in Dhamaka he was good
I don’t understand you’re in a creative industry, how can you make remakes? Inspiration is fine. I am a writer, if I cannot think of new ideas I can literally go mad. Directors and writers like this are insults to our field
Naklibazi Kay adatt par chuki hay. Once you become a copycat or more should I say cheater and found success it's really hard to go back and work hard again. Even the great David dhavan after started copying from others works he didn't manage to go back. once he use to create original works but now naklibazi has turned him into silly director who makes shitty version of his own movies. Rohit shetty is also suffering in this case now. Thank God we have directors like hirani and Kabir khan or else the disease of naklibazi would have killed Bollywood
For the original Telugu movie songs played a big role in catapulting to the masses. There is not even one song in the entire Hindi remake that stands out
YOU CAN SPOIL THIS WE WOULDN'T MIND AT ALL 😭😭
And the major twist in AVPL was we didn't know the story from the trailer here the whole story was displayed when he gets to know that he was exchanged to babies being exchanged the excitement factor for those who didn't also also die there.
If you ask any North Indian about South Indian actors ,the first three names they'll probably say will be Mahesh Babu,Rajnikanth and Allu Arjun because most of the movies dubbed in Hindi from the beginning of the South Indian dubbed Era were theirs..
Here,if I specifically talk about AA then North Indians don't have to think about Pushpa(his recent one),they already know him from ARYA-EK DEEWANA, SANGHARSH & VIJAY and many more..
Off late, I feel most of the people I have observed have turned towards regional cinema, than the bollywood films, including me. And I have grown up enjoying predominantly bollywood films.
Yeh to hona hi tha. Remake ki dukan ab band karo. Especially south Indian movie remake
I donno why you ever thought this movie will work...
The telugu worked only cos of the antics of Allu Arjun and the comic timing of Trivikram Srinivas...
This hindi version was so bland and all the good comedy was chopped off.. the romance with Heroine.. while not the best example in telugu version itself... looked Forced
Trivikram movies are all about showing two different perspective towards the same or single incident, dialogues in a very simple story
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.
