Top Reviewers:
TELUGU 360 (Rating: 2.25/5):
Bholaa Shankar is a very routine and old-school commercial drama. Though it does not showcase anything new and is low on emotions, Chiranjeevi makes sure he impresses his fans with his comedy timing and sheer screen presence. Watch it only for him.
Great Andhra (Rating: 1.5/5):
Overall, “Bholaa Shankar” is a complete bore. 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 This one is packed with outdated sequences and cringe-worthy situations.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!
Mirchi9 (Rating: 1.75/5):
Overall, Bhola Shankar is a stale project from the word go, and it remains that way from the start to the end. The first half is cringe loaded, whereas the second bores one to death. It is a criminal wastage of Chiranjeevi’s talents, making it difficult for fans to sit through—a forgettable fare.
123TELUGU (Rating: 2.5/5):
On the whole, Chiranjeevi’s Bholaa Shankar is a mediocre action drama with decent performances from Chiranjeevi and Keerthy Suresh. Comedy scenes here and there worked well in both halves. Keep your expectations in check while watching this movie, as it features a few unnecessary scenes and a laggy screenplay.
Times Of India (Rating: 2/5):
Bholaa Shankar suffers because the shift between the various portions of the film is jarring, not to mention, the writing needed a deft hand. Not even Chiranjeevi and Keerthy are enough to save the day.
