Bholaa is a well-executed action thriller and Ajay Devgn's intense performance makes it a treat to watch. Despite being an action-thriller Bholaa also has some emotional moments, there's a scene where Ajay Devgn & Tabu talk about their sad pasts. Towards the end, the track involving Devgn and his reel daughter will also leave you moist-eyed and adds a touch of tenderness to the otherwise violent and dark film.

Ajay Devgn's hard-hitting performance is the backbone of Bholaa. He excels in the action sequences, the actor is equally good in the emotional scenes and wins hearts with his heartwrenching expressions. Tabu is brilliant in her role that requires her to be tough and vulnerable at the same time. Deepak Dobriyal as evil Ashu is unmissable and shines throughout the film. Sanjay Mishra as police constable proves to be the surprise package of Bholaa and leaves his mark.

Overall Bholaa is a visual treat in 3D and has everything, right from high octane action scenes to powerful performances that makes it a masala entertainer you can watch with your entire family. So go grab a popcorn and watch Bholaa at a theatre near you.

According to trade experts, Bholaa is expected to witness a great run at the box office. The film has managed to create a substantial buzz among the audience and has also received a decent advance booking which drops hints about a great first day opening for this Ajay Devgn directorial.

Certified U/A, Bhola will be witnessing a box office clash with Nani starrer Dasara which is another big Pan India release. While it will be a treat for the movie goers, the trade expert believes that Dasara and Bholaa will not be affecting each other's collection as both have their own markets and can survive well at the box office.
