Bholaa Shankar

As a personal review, I must admit that "Bholaa Shankar" left me deeply disappointed. The film's attempt to replicate the success of the Tamil original "Vedhalam" falls drastically short, and Chiranjeevi's performance in the lead role is nothing less than disappointing. His portrayal lacks the charisma and depth that Ajith brought to the original character.

In all honesty, this movie stands as the worst cinematic experience I've had this year. The cringe-worthy moments, coupled with the uncomfortable romantic angle between Chiranjeevi and an actress of his daughter's age, were hard to overlook.

For those considering watching this film, I strongly advise against wasting your hard-earned money. The original version is freely available on YouTube with subtitles, offering a more fulfilling entertainment option. Rather than spending your money on "Bholaa Shankar," I'd suggest using those funds to treat yourself to a delicious meal through Zomato.

Chiranjeevi's decision to take on such roles only highlights the stark contrast between his performances and those of actors like Mammooty, who, at the age of 72, continue to excel in thought-provoking and artistic films. It's a reminder that there are far more rewarding ways to spend your time and resources than subjecting yourself to the disappointment that "Bholaa Shankar" brings.

My rating 0.00001/10.

Chiranjeevi should stop making remake movies, literally this movie tested my patience to get out of the theatre, please don't waste your hard earned money to this waste movie, What is the use for chiranjeevi to look very young and Romance a young heroine is this necessary at this age.

And coming to director Meher ramesh. I need to see the guy who said him to become director and make direction.

0/10 for music 0/10 for dop 0/10 for cinematography 0/10 for editing All the elements go 0 for this movie.

And chiranjeevi should really come out of those jabardasth comedian elevations and bhajana.

And the music director he is a son of famous music director mani sharma and he is literally gave dumb music.

Honestly speaking, I enjoyed this film, but at the same time, I was so annoyed with it. This film is a remake of the Tamil film Vedalam, and in my opinion, Bholaa Shankar was not as boring as Ajith's opinionated film.

The first thing I want to omit from this film would be the character of Vennela Kishore. His overacting was so painful. Chiranjeevi did an amazing job, though he seemed a bit old against the young role he played. But his youthful appearance made it realistic. Keerthy and Tamanna did well in their roles. Tarun Arora seemed timid. I think Tarun Arora should get rid of this kind of stereotypical roles and acting. Chiranjeevi fans can watch this.

"Bholaa Shankar," the remake of the Tamil film "Vedalam," made it clear in its trailer that moviegoers and fans should keep their expectations low. The songs were also not chart-toppers. Following the failures of "Shadow" and "Shakti," director Meher Ramesh became a target of trolls. So, no one had high expectations for this film. We, too, entered the theater with zero expectations. Meher Ramesh, the director of "Bholaa Shankar," has proven that he cannot even meet the lowest of expectations.

"Bholaa Shankar" is a complete damm bore movie. It neither entertains nor features appealing tunes, as one would expect from a Chiranjeevi film. This one is packed with outdated sequences and cringe-worthy situations.

A complete disappointment!

Stay Away.

Bhola Shankar is the Telugu remake of Tamil film Vedalam and it is a loyal remake with minor changes. Shankar (Chiranjeevi) has arrived in Kolkata along with his sister Mahalakshmi (Keerthy Suresh). The reason for him to move to Kolkata is get Maha admitted in a prestigious arts college there and he has another agenda, that is to kill the gang involved in human trafficking. Why is he after them is narrated in the flashback and how he kills them all forms rest of the story.

The original version too was below average, saved by Ajith's performance clubbed with Anirudh's bgm. The entire hype revolved around them and in the remake, it is exactly what missing. Sure, Megastar has given a committed performance to play to the gallery but there is no novelty factor. The narrative is so dated, right from the writing to execution, none of the scenes stood out. Even Chiranjeevi went through the emotions monotonously like everybody else on a paycheck.

The only thing they invested some ideas was on the inclusion of Pawan Kalyan songs and have Chiranjeevi imitate him for the sake of fans, otherwise the film remained a tedious watch throughout. None of the songs were memorable for Chiranjeevi's grace to save them. Action scenes were repetitive and nothing to boast about. In short, Megastar Chiranjeevi isn't enough to save this mess.
