Overall Word of Mouth (Critics) – Positive
1. DNA –
Rating Score -> 3/5
Ajay Devgn-Tabu film is a perfect Kaithi remake. Bholaa is all about Ajay Devgn, a one man army against thousands of villains. The film doesn’t even pretend to be anything other than a true remake of Kaithi.
2. The Week –
Rating Score -> n/a
The film is a watchable entertainer for the action-craving audiences giving them larger-than-life two-and-a-half hours of their lives, which is understandably the current cinematic pull for the filmmakers to get audiences into theatres.
3. Times Now –
Rating Score -> 3.5/5
Ajay Devgn, Tabu Excel In Action Extravaganza Despite Weak Script. Bholaa is an excellent action-entertainer, which is marred by a lax plot. There can be no complaints when it comes to Ajay Devgn’s acting in Bholaa. The actor-director owns the character – effortlessly slipping into an action avatar. The film plays out like a bildungsroman and is accentuated by some excellent fight sequences.
4. Indian Express –
Rating Score -> 3/5
Ajay Devgn delivers no-holds-barred, high-octane actioner. Ajay Devgn-Tabu’s all-out action film is not for the faint-hearted but it is bang for your buck.
5. NDTV –
Rating Score -> 2/5
Slapdash Rehash That Rides Solely On Ajay Devgn’s Star Power. Tabu, of course, makes the most of the footage that she gets but still has to settle for second-fiddle treatment.
6. India TV –
Rating Score -> 3.5/5
Bholaa is crafted for the masses and perfectly blends high-octane action, thriller and soul in the first half and ends with a surprising climax where a ‘Bollywood actor’ cameo is waiting. An exciting watch for the weekend!
7. Times of India –
Rating Score -> 3.5/5
You are left with many questions about the protagonist’s life, which an origin story is likely to help unfold – à la Baahubali. Stay back post the climax to know who will be Bholaa’s arch-enemy ahead. As for this one, Bholaa, which has immense mass appeal, packs in quite a punch with his strength, grit and charisma.
8. India Today –
Rating Score -> 3/5
Ajay Devgn shines bright in gripping remake of Kaithi. Bholaa is a well-packaged actioner that caters to the mass audience. The film features a good mix of elevation sequences and emotional scenes.
