Kartik Aaryan and Kriti Sanon-starrer `Shehzada` hit the big screen on Friday, February 17. The film was initially supposed to hit the theatres a week ago. However, after the release of `Pathaan` and the fan fare around it, the makers pushed the release date stating the decision was made out of respect for Shah Rukh Khan. However, despite staying out of Pathaan`s way, `Shehzada` did not have a great first day at the box office. 

The Rohit Dhawan directorial opened to Rs. 6 crore at the Box office in India. The makers had also launched a `Buy 1 get 1 Free` offer on the film across theatres in the country for day 1. The move was done to bring in larger footfall.
