Ajay Devgn's 'Bholaa' Hitting The Right Notes Before Release

Mumbai, January 27 - Over the last few years, Ajay Devgn has been one of the most successful Bollywood actors with back-to-back box office hits to his name.

The idea to shoot the film also in 3D format also seems to be working in its favor big time as "Bholaa" is more large-scale and massively mounted than "Kaithi". The music by Ravi Basrur is another major aspect of the movie that is being discussed very positively on social media. ## As far as the box office chances of the film are concerned, "Bholaa" is having a very positive buzz among audiences and it should be able to take a good start.## "Bholaa" is produced by Ajay Devgn FFilms, Dream Warrior Pictures, T-Series Films, and Reliance Entertainment.
