    Only for Chiranjeevi fans

    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.

    This is not bholaa this is ROD ramBholaa

    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.

    Chiranjeevi's story selections

    1. He need to stop acting in remakes. Remakes are like imitation of a wonderful story in it's worst way.

    2. He should know his limits. He should stop romancing & focus on mass character/ family man character.

    3. He is 68 & still doing romance with the actresses who his son had worked with.

    4. He should give new scripts & script writers a chance to work.

    5. He shouldn't intervene in the script. It feels like he is acting for the scripts which which are made from the same template.

    In a nutshell, If he is ready to change, he could make revolution in his career. But if he is not, then nobody can save his career.

    Chiranjeevi's stardom doesn't help this stale, unimaginative tale

    Watching the Telugu movie Bhola Shankar, headlined by Chiranjeevi and directed by Meher Ramesh, is like going back in time by a few decades but not in a good way. The film repackages outdated, formulaic tropes and presents them with the confidence that star presence - Chiranjeevi, Tamannaah Bhatia and Keerthy Suresh - is enough to salvage a listless narrative. Meher Ramesh, credited with 'story development', adapts an eight-year-old Tamil film Vedalam starring Ajith, which was no great shakes either. What unravels is a cocktail of a sappy brother-sister bond, cardboard-ish villain characters, a leading lady who is supposed to contribute to absurd fun and comes across as utterly silly, a lot of tasteless humour and loud, forgetful music.

    NA

    "Bholaa Shankar" conforms to the familiar formula of a mainstream mass masala film, heavily influenced by the iconic "Baashaa." However, the director's focus in this narrative has notably gravitated towards the sentiment surrounding the sisterly relationship.

    The storyline unfolds as follows: Chiranjeevi, alongside his endearing sister Keerthi Suresh, leads a modest life. However, He finds himself entangled with the underworld, driven by a distinct purpose. The film then delves into the motivation behind his actions and the strategic elimination of these unsavoury characters, forming the core of the plot.

    Within the commercial genre, the film delivers a collection of entertaining and high-energy moments, catering particularly to the tastes of Chiranjeevi's ardent followers. His charismatic screen presence serves as a delightful treat for his fan base. Keerthi Suresh is allotted a significant role, and her performance aptly justifies her character's presence in the film. Tamannah and Sushanth are underutilised.

    Yet, the film is not without its drawbacks, showcasing several negative aspects and logical inconsistencies. Surprisingly, Mahati Swara Sagar has fallen short in both the composition of songs and the creation of a compelling background score.

    In summation, "Bholaa Shankar" emerges as a production primarily intended for the aficionados of Chiranjeevi, unfortunately falling short of making a lasting impression on the broader general audience.
