Bholaa Shankar

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" 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.

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 The film repackages outdated, formulaic tropes and presents them with the confidence that star presence - Chiranjeevi, Tamannaah Bhatia and Keerthy Suresh - is enough to salvage a listless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.

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.

I must regretfully confess that "Bholaa Shankar" left me utterly disheartened. The film's desperate attempt to mimic the triumph of the Tamil original "Vedhalam" falls woefully, shockingly short, and Chiranjeevi's portrayal in the lead role is nothing short of a monumental letdown. His performance lacks even a fraction of the magnetism and complexity that Ajith effortlessly infused into the character in the original.

To put it bluntly, this movie stands as an unequivocal low point in my year of cinematic experiences. The cringe-inducing moments are piled high, and the uncomfortable romantic subplot between Chiranjeevi and an actress young enough to be his daughter is impossible to disregard.

For anyone entertaining the thought of subjecting themselves to this film, I implore you to veer away from squandering your hard-earned money. The original iteration is conveniently accessible on YouTube with subtitles, presenting a considerably more satisfying option for entertainment. Rather than parting with your money for the dismal affair that is "Bholaa Shankar," I'd wholeheartedly recommend investing those funds in a sumptuous Zomato feast.

Chiranjeevi's decision to embrace such roles only serves to underscore the jarring contrast between his lackluster performances and the outstanding work of actors like Mammooty, who, at the age of 72, continue to shine in intellectually stimulating and artistically profound films. It's a stark reminder that there exist far more gratifying avenues for spending your time and resources than immersing yourself in the profound disappointment that "Bholaa Shankar" epitomizes.
