    Film review ·

    Action junkies, rejoice. 'Bholaa', in which Ajay Devgn does double duty as the eponymous lead actor and director, is the kind of all-out, no-holds-barred, high-octane actioner we haven't seen in Bollywood in a long time. For the faint-hearted? No. Bang-for-the-buck? Oh yes.

    Film review ·

    When Ajay Devgn rolls up his sleeves and gets down to doing action, there's nothing that seems improbable. While there's enough and more of that, here he engages you with intricately woven action sequences that boast of a certain expertise and finesse. Bholaa packs in quite a punch with his strength, grit and charisma.

    Film review ·

    Bholaa is a well-executed actioner that hits the right notes because of Ajay Devgn's intense performance and grand vision. Ajay Devgn's performance is the heart and soul of Bholaa. To conclude, Bholaa is a treat for Ajay Devgn's fans with everything from action scenes to punch dialogues that one would expect from a big-screen spectacle meant for the mass audience.

    Film review ·

    Bholaa primarily rides on well-designed action scenes directed tactfully by Ajay Devgn and his team. It has presented the 'Mass Maharaja' just as he deserves to be presented though the adaptation warranted a better screenplay and pacing in the second half.
  5. Hindustan Times

    Film review ·

    Bholaa will give you adrenaline rush, but if you also look for an equally meaningful story or at least a narrative that brings some value, Bholaa will disappoint you at many levels. After a point, it's literally a montage of one brilliant action sequence after the other, but the mindless stunts can impress you only till they last.
