Bhola Shankar Movie Review
Director Meher Ramesh comes back after a 10-year hiatus with the mass film, and on the other hand, megastar Chiranjeevi, who always gave his full effort for every film to entertain his fans, does the same. This time, not only does he reveal his Mass avatar, but he also shows a lot of emotion, which makes the audience engage with the film.
Keerthy Suresh, in her regular performance, did nothing notable, and the stunnng Tamannaah Bhatia, who portrayed the character of Advocate Lasya and the love once of Shankar, with a short time of screen presence, did a quite good job in the film, and the other characters like Sushanth, Murali Sharma, and Sayaji Shinde were not that attractive.
Baap of Movies Review
Overall, this is decent Chiranjeevi-led action and drama, and unfortunately director Meher Ramesh’s comeback after 10 years was wasted. The other features of the film are that it offers us a decent performance, while the only thing notable is Dudley’s cinematography. This is a one-time-watch film.
