'Bholaa' teaser: Ajay Devgn promises well-executed remake of 'Kaithi'
As promised, Ajay Devgn dropped the teaser for his upcoming directorial Bholaa on Tuesday morning. A remake of the hit 2019 Tamil film Kaithi, Bholaa teaser promises that filmmaker Devgn will not disappoint with his vision. Bholaa is also Devgn's fourth directorial after U Me Aur Hum, Shivaay, and Runway 34. The veteran actor is co-producing the venture as well. Here's a teaser breakdown.
Why does this story matter?
Devgn is currently enjoying the success of his latest film, Drishyam 2. Also a remake of a South Indian movie, Drishyam 2 has managed to usher in audiences in huge numbers due to a distinct voice and vision, despite being an adaptation. Now it remains to be seen if the Thank God actor will be able to replicate this with Bholaa.
Brilliant cinematography, thrilling music aid Devgn's screen presence
The 1:27-minute clip sets the premise for the film. We are introduced to a little girl, Jyoti, who lives in an orphanage. She is told that someone is coming to meet her the next day. Unaware of familial relations, Jyoti wonders who this visitor could be. Soon, we get a glimpse of this mysterious visitor, aided by brilliant cinematography and thrilling music.
'No one knows who he's, where he has come from'
The visitor is none other than Bholaa, played by Devgn. We understand he is getting released from jail and every inmate fears and respects him. Bholaa is such a revered person in the underworld that no one knows who he is or where he has come from. And, the one who did know isn't alive anymore. The last few seconds promise high-octane action, too.
