"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.
