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.
