Bholaa box office collection Day 4: Ajay Devgn-Tabu film does well on weekend, earns over Rs 44 crore

Despite the obstacles that lies ahead, Bholaa has done decently at the box office till now. In fact, it happens to be the third highest opener at the ticket counter post the successes of Shah Rukh Khan-led Pathaan (Rs 57 crore), and the Ranbir Kapoor and Shraddha Kapoor romantic drama Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar (Rs 15.73 crore). This also comes as a relief to Ajay Devgn’s record as a director; his past movies, including U Me Aur Hum, Shivaay and Runway 34 had failed to churn up the expected numbers at box office.

Bholaa is the official Hindi remake of the Tamil hit, starring Karthi, which was helmed by Lokesh Kanagaraj. Apart from Devgn and Tabu, the film also features Deepak Dobriyal, Sanjay Mishra among others in pivotal roles.

The film had received a mixed response from critics, with The Indian Express’ reviewer Shubhra Gupta giving it three stars in her review. “There’s enough going on to keep everything going, as Shiv bhakt Bholaa, aided by holy ‘vibhooti’, his valiant cop companion pointedly named Diana, and a brave informer called Aijaz, makes sure that he is the last man standing. Again, fortunately, we aren’t left too much time to dwell on the power-sharing in the trinity– obviously, our Bholaa has pole position– as the plot gets back to its relentless cracking of bones, showering of blood, skewering of bodies, and parts thereof. For the faint-hearted? No way. Bang-for-the-buck? Oh yes,” read a section of her review.
