Bhima Movie Review.

Introduction 

Welcome to my review of the latest Telugu action drama, “Bhima,” directed by A. Harsha and starring the dynamic Gopichand in a role that promises to be a treat for the masses.

The Plot 

“Bhima” unfolds in the mystical town of Mahendragiri, a place steeped in mythology and revered as the chosen land of Parasurama. Gopichand portrays Bhima, a playful cop with a unique style of dealing with criminals, who becomes a thorn in the side of the local strongman, Bhavani. The plot thickens when Bhima falls for Vidya, a school teacher, and is asked for a favor by Ravindra Varma, a respected figure in the town, which turns his life upside down.

Starring 

The film features Gopichand in a dual role, showcasing his versatility as both Bhima and Rama. Malvika Sharma plays the love interest, Vidya, while Priya Bhavani Shankar appears in a pivotal role. The ensemble cast includes seasoned actors like Nassar, Naresh, and Mukesh Tiwari.

What Works

• Gopichand’s Performance: His energetic portrayal of Bhima is a standout, especially in the massy avatar.
• Action Sequences: High-octane scenes that are well-executed and keep you on the edge of your seat.
• Background Score: Ravi Basrur’s impactful music elevates the intense scenes to another level.
• Cinematography: Swami J. Gowda’s lens captures the essence of Mahendragiri beautifully.

What Does Not Work

• Love Track: The romantic subplot feels forced and out of place, potentially making some viewers uncomfortable.
• Predictable Storyline: The film follows a formulaic path that might not appeal to everyone.
• Outdated Narratives: The reliance on old-school storytelling techniques may not resonate with a modern audience.

Final Verdict 

“Bhima” is a film that will likely appeal to fans of traditional action dramas and Gopichand’s loyal audience. It delivers on the promise of a mass entertainer with its high-voltage action and lead actor’s charisma.

Can I Watch It with My Family 

The movie contains some vulgar scenes in the love track that might not be suitable for all family members. Remaining movie is watchable with family. Viewers should be careful is advised.

Conclusion 

While “Bhima” shines in parts with its action and lead performance, it falls short in delivering a fresh narrative. It’s a mixed bag that might satisfy action aficionados but could leave others wanting more.

My Rating 

I would give “Bhima” a 2.5 out of 5 stars, acknowledging its strengths in performance and production quality, but also recognizing its shortcomings in storytelling and screenplay. [Streaming On Disney+Hotstar].
