I didn't waste my money on this poorly made movie so I am happy than many others who wasted their hard earned money. I made an attempt to watch this on OTT just to see my favorite hero's movie. From the get go, it's a 20 - 30 year old plot with sister/brother sentiment with a weak antagonist, ,and an army of comedians but miserably failed to create any good humor. Background score is horrible. For god's sake, please stop acting in these routine movies and accept roles such is more suite to your age. I don't know where the director learned his movie making skills but he should just go back to school and learn the craft.

Bhola Shankar is the Telugu remake of Tamil film Vedalam and it is a loyal remake with minor changes. Shankar (Chiranjeevi) has arrived in Kolkata along with his sister Mahalakshmi (Keerthy Suresh). The reason for him to move to Kolkata is get Maha admitted in a prestigious arts college there and he has another agenda, that is to kill the gang involved in human trafficking. Why is he after them is narrated in the flashback and how he kills them all forms rest of the story. The original version too was below average, saved by Ajith's performance clubbed with Anirudh's bgm. The entire hype revolved around them and in the remake, it is exactly what missing. Sure, Megastar has given a committed performance to play to the gallery but there is no novelty factor. The narrative is so dated, right from the writing to execution, none of the scenes stood out. Even Chiranjeevi went through the emotions monotonously like everybody else on a paycheck. The only thing they invested some ideas was on the inclusion of Pawan Kalyan songs and have Chiranjeevi imitate him for the sake of fans, otherwise the film remained a tedious watch throughout. None of the songs were memorable for Chiranjeevi's grace to save them. Action scenes were repetitive and nothing to boast about. In short, Megastar Chiranjeevi isn't enough to save this mess.

"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.

The film starts and moved so fast that every scene felt like somebody's intro. You know who's going to come next as every scene unfolds. Vedalam itself wasn't that great of a film except for the acting from the lead actor Ajith. Megastar has done passably. The director didn't make use of his acting experience and rather just focused on giving him hero image and actions. As a result, this comes nowhere close to Vedalam, maybe this is just an inch or two better than what you can an "absolute cringe fest". Director didn't make use of ANY actor! Chiranjeevi and Keerthy Suresh try their best to save the film but they can't! For instance, hero is supposed to fit into innocent ("gullible") personality, but Chiru doesn't seem to fit there. He tried to manage with his acting skills and experience, but it also felt unnatural and forced. The grace and charm he once carried (for which I admire him) seems to be missing nowadays. Movies like Vedalam might have worked fine back then in 2015, but not in 2023! This is not a "mass" movie (unlike Veerayya), it is a "mess" movie! But everything isn't as bad as it sounds. Chiranjeevi's comic timing in 2nd half is quite good. Also the climax is better than what I expected. In fact, it is the only scene that is as good as that of Vedalam. But these random moments aren't capable of saving the mess the movie has been turned into! If you haven't watched Vedalam and you want the usual massala hero-centric film only then this is this watchable for you. Meher Ramesh, seriously man you need to stop directing.

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.
