After scoring his career biggest hit with Waltair Veerayya for this year’s Sankranthi, Chiranjeevi shockingly saw his career’s biggest disastrous result with his latest film, Bhola Shankar. More than the result, the way it registered the poorest numbers at the box office is what shocked everyone. The reasons for the Bhola Shankar becoming the biggest disaster ever are as follows.
1. Selecting a subject less remake : Doing remakes is not at all a crime. Tollywood and Chiranjeevi have seen massive blockbusters with remake films. But the main issue happened with Bhola Shankar is the selected content being feeble. Vedalam is not a fresh subject, or it does have any strong elements, it was a regular commercial film and this kind of films were already seen in the Telugu industry from long ago. So selecting an outdated content for the remake is the biggest mistake from the side of Chiranjeevi.
2. Selecting an outdated director : One cannot help but wonder how come Chiranjeevi has chosen Meher Ramesh as a director for his film. If he wanted to do this remake then at least he should have gone for some good commercial directors like Harish Shankar, Gopichand Malineni etc., At least they could have made some big and suitable changes to adapt to the taste of latest audiences.
3. Promotional Content: The audio of the film, Bhola Shankar was okay but the teaser, trailer, and posters had completely misfired horribly. So, with such below par content, the buzz on the film got killed up massively.
4. Unnecessary imitations : The Pawan Kalyan imitations done by Chiranjeevi were released as promotional content before release, and it became a troll stuff for the audiences even before the release. Many felt that it was not all needed for a star like Megastar Chiranjeevi to imitate Pawan Kalyan in such a cringe way.
For all these reasons, the film was watched strictly by a section of fans because a few fans and other audiences were not at all interested in watching Bhola Shankar. Which is why the film became the biggest disaster. A star hero film collecting less than 20Cr worth share is definitely unimaginable nowadays as even the disaster films are opening with 30Cr+ shares.
