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.

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.

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.

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.

Bholaa even with its shortcomings is good and watchable if you haven't or don't watch original Kaithi but once you watch the original you feel definitely find faults in it.

A Hindi movie without any song which remains with you after the movie is hard to be successful though we have exceptions but there should be something. Many action sequences are good but many other are overrated.

Hindi movies should stop making remakes of south Indian films instead spend on writers and originality of the movie. Tabu looks good in her character and replacing a male lead character of original with female one is a good choice.
