‘Shehzada’s Character Dheela’ Song Feels A Bit Dheela In Vibes, Lyrics, And Choreography!
There's a disconnect in the lyrics and Kartik Aaryan's expressions!
It looks like the Hindi entertainment industry is surviving on three things right now – remakes, remakes and only remakes! And to make matters worse, the makers are not even doing the mehnat of adding original songs in these remakes to give the audience something fresh to look forward to in the films. Kartik Aaryan’s upcoming film Shehzada is a Hindi remake of the Aluu Arjun starrer Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo. A new song from the film is out which is a remake of the classic party number, ‘Character Dheela’! Sung by the singer of the OG track, Neeraj Shridhar, ‘Character Dheela’ literally turned out to be dheela in terms of vibes, lyrics and choreography!

I will be honest and say that I did have some hopes for the remake of the Character Dheela song because Neeraj Shridhar also sang the remake of Bhool Bhulaiyaa title track, and I absolutely loved it! Given that this one is sung by Shridhar, I was expecting it to be as peppy and fun as the original. This two-minute-36-second song is a compilation of Kartik Aaryan staring weirdly at the girls around him. He neither looks seduced nor does he look annoyed, there’s a poker face expression on his face.
I want to tell him, bhai, it’s a dance number. So, give expressions, na! Also, Kartik and the girls in the video are drinking a white beverage that looks weirdly like milk. I don’t know what the makers were up with that! Also, the lyrics are more like a lesson on how love has become fickle in today’s time, and that is exactly why the chorus ‘Character Dheela Hai’ does not fit well with it.
The choreography is so bad, I cannot even begin to tell you’ll! Why would they make Kartik Aaryan slide in water while sitting cross-legged? It is neither looking cool nor fancy. There is also a step where Kartik shakes his glares like young boys do. I want to ask, “Why?” Why this step? I think Aaryan is being branded as the next Prabhudeva because the hook steps he is given come close to Prabhudeva’s style! Matlab choreography mein bhi originality nahi!

The vibe of the song is also very off. Remember that dialogue in 3 Idiots when a professor tells Aamir Khan, “Arey, kehna kya chahte ho?” That was my expression throughout the song. *Sigh* Another fatang song ruined in the name of remakes.
