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.

Bad 1st half
comedy scenes didn't workout properly looks like artificial and some scenes are cringe,best stuff for trollers,BGM is ok
2nd half way better than 1st half with some emotional scenes
heroine character is not needed,heroine will appear only if songs needed,so many Cringe comedy scenes,no screenplay at all,just a routine commercial film,chiru should be wise while choosing scripts,may be fans will enjoy it,for me it's an average or below par
Positives
1 Chiru dance moves,looks like vintage moves 2 Chiru appearance 3 some emotional scenes between Keerthi and chiru
Negatives
1 Irritating songs 2 bad screenplay 3 unneccesary usage of PK movie reference 4 no proper usage of characters including heroine 5 routine story
Overall- Routine commercial film can't expect more than that 2/5.

"Bholaa Shankar," the remake of the Tamil film "Vedalam," made it clear in its trailer that moviegoers and fans should keep their expectations low. The songs were also not chart-toppers. Following the failures of "Shadow" and "Shakti," director Meher Ramesh became a target of trolls. So, no one had high expectations for this film. We, too, entered the theater with zero expectations. Meher Ramesh, the director of "Bholaa Shankar," has proven that he cannot even meet the lowest of expectations.
"Bholaa Shankar" is a complete damm bore movie. It neither entertains nor features appealing tunes, as one would expect from a Chiranjeevi film. This one is packed with outdated sequences and cringe-worthy situations.
A complete disappointment!
Stay Away.

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.

As a personal review, I must admit that "Bholaa Shankar" left me deeply disappointed. The film's attempt to replicate the success of the Tamil original "Vedhalam" falls drastically short, and Chiranjeevi's performance in the lead role is nothing less than disappointing. His portrayal lacks the charisma and depth that Ajith brought to the original character.
In all honesty, this movie stands as the worst cinematic experience I've had this year. The cringe-worthy moments, coupled with the uncomfortable romantic angle between Chiranjeevi and an actress of his daughter's age, were hard to overlook.
For those considering watching this film, I strongly advise against wasting your hard-earned money. The original version is freely available on YouTube with subtitles, offering a more fulfilling entertainment option. Rather than spending your money on "Bholaa Shankar," I'd suggest using those funds to treat yourself to a delicious meal through Zomato.
