'Bholaa', starring Ajay Devgn and Tabu, was released in theatres on March 30, 2023. The film narrates the story of a former prisoner Bholaa who is released from jail after 10 years. As he heads to meet his young daughter, he's arrested mid-way. He then joins forces with a police officer (Tabu) to protect a drug consignment from a gang of criminals. Directed by Ajay himself, the film has put up a decent box office score on Day 1.
Film analyst Taran Adarsh shared the box-office collection on Twitter and wrote, '#Bholaa puts up a decent score on Day 1 [#RamNavmi]… Healthy footfalls during spot bookings - towards evening shows specifically - compensate for the low turnout in morning + noon shows… Thu ₹ 11.20 cr. #India biz.'
He added, 'Day 1 biz tilts more towards mass centers, with #Mumbai remaining low… Needs to gather pace over the weekend for a respectable total.'
‘Bholaa’ also stars Deepak Dobriyal, Sanjay Mishra, and Vineet Kumar. Amala Paul and Abhishek Bachchan have cameo appearances. The music is by ‘K.G.F’ composer Ravi Basrur and the cinematography is by Aseem Bajaj. ‘Bholaa’ is the official remake of Lokesh Kanagraj's Tamil film ‘Kaithi’.
