Bholaa

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.

Kaithi was one really grounded film where the emotions worked extremely well . Bholaa on the other hand is a highly masala filled version of Kaithi with emotions not working.

If you have seen Kaithi , you will realise, Dilli was no superhuman that made his journey even more interesting. Bholaa on the other hand is presented as a near John wick like superhuman who literally can't be touched or hurt anyway. That's where the soul of the original is lost.

Anyways we know story of Bholaa is that one kind of video game where you are given a mission and you encounter multiple villains and boss fights on the way until you reach the final destination. What Ajay Devgn had done well is to incorporate some more adrenaline pumping action sequences which is different from the original source material while keeping some same from the original which includes the famous machine gun climax. The new action sequences are enjoyable and keep you hooked. Some feel jarring but most are exciting.

Some hand to hand fight sequences are just Brutal . The trishool fight sequence was really exciting yet brutal to witness. It seems Devgn focused more on action than emotions .

Why is the film in 3D is beyond my understanding. Max shows at my place where 3D or 4d. This is a pure 2D film forcibly converted to 3D for no reason.

Performances. Before I come to Ajay , big shout out to Deepak dobriyal . My god what a performance!!! Remember how a Riteish pulled off a villainish role in Ek Villian despite carrying the comedy actor tag? Deepak carries the same tag but pulls off this daring villian role effortlessly. He's just terrific. Then ofc it's Ajay who plays Bholaa pretty well . However he can't pull of the tandoori chicken scene as perfectly as Dilli's biryani scene in kaithi . Tabu is also good so is Sanjay Mishra who has a massive role in the story. Vineet Singh should have given more scope his intro made him look a monster but then the source material didn't allow makers to use him . Gajraj is wasted.

Negatives- screenplay issue. Many abrupt scene changes. Sometimes very inconsistent. A rushed climax and a cameo that isn't that menacing enough to set it up for next part (Remember the menacing cameo of Surya as Rolex which set it up brilliantly for his part ?) . An unnecessary bad item song is there called Paan Dukaniya which sounds bad and was not even needed in the film.

Overall, an enjoyable masala film which lacks emotions and the power to push the film into its next part .

Different storyline but horrible screenplay and worst of all the cheap vfx they used. I mean what was it? A cheap video game made by school students or what?

Screenplay was dragged like anything, movie could've been done in 45 minutes but they dragged it for almost 2 n half hours.

Action scenes were literally inspired by South Indian movies but they use way better vfx. This one felt like intentionally done cheaper to make fun of audiences. Body count am sure in hundreds and all of them were killed by an injured middle age man.

Dialogues were very very cheesy. Felt like bunch of summer students wrote them. Maximum 4 star for this product.

Ajay is great director even though this is remake it has given new treatement the action is better than kaithi the emotions are less but overall its great remake the cinematography and editing is top notch the bgm by ravi basur is also great.

This is one for every action movie lovers.

The movie gets crazier and crazier it is gripping the emotions work as well.

Ajay is very good as actor but his director that shines tabu is very good but the Villains are best thing about the movie Loved it.

Its a MASS audience film for sure.

It has Story, Action, bhaari bharkam dialgues and emotions at the end and yes... There is one CAMEO after film ends...which assures the second part.

Doesn't respect the sensibilities of the audience. Wholly dependent on bad CG and what the director/production team thought is an age old story. A kaithi spoof movie would've been better done. Ajay Devgn should either never direct again if he had full creative control, if he was dependent on the production team for everything except the action, he failed then too because of the amateurish action blocks or the entire production team should be banished from the movie industry forever.

Switching the police officer to a female initially made sense but when fell short as soon as they gave her an age old sob story, just doesn't cut it.
