Bholaa

How does it fare as a remake?

Is it worthy of my time?

Will I enjoy it?

I'm willing to bet that the majority of you who are reading this review are searching for similar information, and the answers to your questions will vary greatly depending upon whether or not you have seen the original! If you haven't, this may still work, but I don't believe it will be of much use to those who have.

Why am I saying that? Well, I have already seen and adored 'Kaithi' and the story it intended to tell, but despite having the same narrative, 'Bholaa' turned out to be a major letdown.

Even though I do appreciate Devgn's intention to make some changes to the source material, unfortunately, none of those changes seemed to have a beneficial impact; on the contrary, they destroyed the inherent essence of the tale. The writing here lacked soul and depth, the same qualities that made the original work so well.

The flashbacks failed to make an impression, the inserted humour felt forced, and the action and their choreography, despite bringing some freshness to the table, appeared exaggerated, they were too loud and lousy for my taste.

'Kaithi' was far superior in almost every aspect.

Bholaa is a reimagined and trailblazing sequel of Kaithi which tries to overdo the theatrics in order to cater the mass audiences. The screenplay, even if it follows the original doesn't elevate during the film thus felt meatless and undercooked. The film definitely has grand, stylized action set pieces, patchy but commendable VFX and adequate emotional quotient which will be appreciated by the masses of single screen. Ajay Devgn's singular performance and striking direction deserves respect but the film never really comes close to Kaithi's raw intensity. Overall, a great family entertaining film if you had skipped the original.

I have seen some good south cinema but 90 percent of it and it's remixes are like these inflated hero's with almost marvel comics super hero characters. 200 man against one what is wrong with these people there must be some social and psychological issues behind stories like these. Anyways other than usual kill em all single vigilante and unbelievable villains what I didn't like about it was no solid story of the main character , the main story line is almost comical . Only after 2 hours of view time you are told bhola is some unstoppable force before that he is just another run of mill guy. Basically what they should have established before interval is something they reveal at the end. Action is good but screenplay is bad at best.

Movies like these are ussually intended for the masses but they released this movie in imax and 3d formats which are for the classes. The movie did ok. I watched this movie in 3d the action was good in terms of Bollywood but won't apply to classes. Some sequences feel over the top. I feel devgan mixed up acting and direction he should focus on one. The songs are ok some give goosebumps at times. The movies story is ok not portrayed in a entertaining way. In my opinion. They left half the story a mystery which dumbs down the movie. When you are making a movie don't focus on sequels but this movie does which I didint prefer. I feel they kind of wasted tabu she wasn't utilized correctly. Overall average mass entertainment watch for the action. Remake of kaithi.

I am huge fan of Ajay devgan and Bollywood so such projects really hurts.

Even if this movie would have been a frame to frame copy of original it would have been a lot better.

Whole plot was totally destroyed in the name of improvisation.

Ajay devgns character is shown as a god in the movie, starting action scene, police vehicles are being flung in to air by a truck despite being hurt and hanging out of the police scorpio tabu perfectly manages to hold ray ban intact on her face.

Gajraj rao trying to be a south Indian was no where near in fact it was embarrassing.

Massive talent Deepak Dobriyal was wasted in this movie.

Casting done for this movie was very bad, most of the actors despite being power house of talent could not do much justice to their role.

I feel this movie does grave injustice to original cult "kaithi".

If I were to say something good about this movie it's "tabu" and "sanjay mishra" only.

Original was a gripping movie, here not even a single scene which matches or is even near to the original "kaithi".

I will watch kaithi 10 times more but will not dare to see bholaa again.

I am not against remakes only thing is dont ruin it.
