Bhola Shankar Movie review, it does not have even a single standout scene.
Bhola Shankar Movie review: An innocent man Shankar (Chiranjeevi) and his sister Maha (Keerthy Suresh) move to Kolkata in hopes of a better future. But nothing is as it seems.
Bhola Shankar Movie review: Meher Ramesh tests his luck and your patience both with this Telugu remake of Ajith-starrer Vedalam. The film that promises to be a commercial potboiler ends up seeming like a mishmash of three different stories. What’s worse is that all these stories are outdated at best and cringe-worthy at worst.
In order to enroll his sister Mahalakshmi nicknamed Maha (Keerthy Suresh) in an arts college, Shankar (Chiranjeevi) travels from Hyderabad to Kolkata with her. To make ends meet, he decides to drive a taxi and meets criminal defence attorney Lasya (Tamannaah Bhatia). Maha has a love-hate relationship with Shankar, but his brother Srikar (Sushanth A) is in love with her.
Meanwhile, in Kolkata, something far more serious is going on while Meher is busy making jokes about Lasya, bringing in Brahmanandam and Vennela Kishore to lighten the mood, etc. Because of crooked police, young girls are being abducted all throughout the city, and the law enforcement is clueless about how to catch the mafia.
Bhola Shankar Movie review: Shankar is introduced in the movie as a simple-minded man who seems too wonderful to be true.
But as the movie goes on, it becomes clear that nothing is as it seems. And you already know where it’s going if you’ve seen any hero-obsessed Indian films.
The fact that Meher struggles to balance between displaying something serious, cracking a joke, and tossing in a duet song for good measure in the first half of the movie doesn’t help matters. After the interval, the movie doesn’t fare much better either, with the poor writing failing to engage you in the story’s central themes—the women who are being trafficked and Shankar’s connection with Maha.
Only some scenes towards the fag end of the film fare a little better.

Meher indulges in fan service by writing occasionally effective dialogue regarding Chiranjeevi’s fame.
He also makes an excessive amount of effort to pay tribute to Ram Charan or Pawan Kalyan. You would flinch at portions of Sreemukhi and Rashmi Gautam’s sequences with Chiranjeevi because they are only there to be objectified. This movie has a lot going on, but nothing really seems to stick. The music of Mahati Swara Sagar is at best mediocre. However, Dudley’s photography enhances the picture.
Chiranjeevi tries his best to give his character life, but there is only so much he can do to improve an antiquated movie that doesn’t offer anything new. As trustworthy as ever, Keerthy Suresh does a good job in her role. Although Tamannaah’s dubbing should have been improved, the actress does a good job acting. Others who do well include Sushanth A, Murli Sharma, Brahmaji, etc. To have an impact, Tarun Arora, Sayaji Shinde, Ravi Shankar, and Shawar Ali needed stronger personas.
Bhola Shankar Movie review, complete story.
The abrupt transitions between the various parts of the movie hurt Bhola Shankar, and the writing required a skilled hand. Even Chiranjeevi and Keerthy cannot save the situation.
