"Bhola" is another attempt by Ajay Devgn for his directorial venture. Like "Runaway 34," he seems to have copied his homework while adding a touch of romantic songs, emotional background music, and a random hero song. Amala Paul has no dialogues (although I was expecting Rakul Preet Singh as usual) Everyone except her delivers single liners where the audience is supposed to hoot.
It's not like "Drishyam" where the setting was changed from Kerala to Goa. Here, "Bhola" was shot on the same sets as "Kaithi." I wondered why he couldn't have been inspired by the mood of "Kaithi."
Glaring goofs include the daughter calling from a landline number but when a return call is made, it's to a mobile phone. There's also brand placement with Bhola wearing Skechers shoes, and the dialects of the students frequently change from Noida to Kanpur. Even after his resurrection from the dead during a fight, he still manages to have a head-on collision with a SUV with a RE after being left behind. During this scene, I was scratching my head when my brother said, "He is the director, after all."
The villain's over-dramatic loud dialogues, the unestablished character of Makrand Deshpande, and the introduction of Abhishek Bachchan with one of his hands stolen from T-800 of Terminator franchise.
In "Bhola," the protagonist derives his power from Vimal masala kept in a polythene bag. When applied to his forehead, he gains inhumane power. Perhaps the title should be changed to "Chhota Bheem."
