If you thought Ajith’s Billa was bad, you ain’t seen real bad until you’ve seen Vikram’s Bheema.

Bheema achieves the odious distinction of having nothing going for it.

Not the story. Not the acting. Not the music. Not the dances. And definitely not the action scenes.

Dooming this worthless piece of garbage from the getgo, is the poor attention to the story.

The story lurches around the rivalry between two criminal gangs led by Chinna (Prakash Raj) and Periyavar (Raghuvaran) with Sekhar (Vikram) joining his childhood idol Chinna’s gang and taking it to greater heights.

But the plot lacks finesse or depth.

Further, a story that centers around enemity between two criminals gangs has been recycled far too many times in Tamil films to provide any joy to fans.

Barring Prakash Raj to some extent, none of the other actors distinguish themselves in Bheema. Not even Vikram, who is an actor of high calibre as ably demonstrated by his exemplary performance in Anniyan a few years back.

But in Bheema, Vikram delivers a ho-hum Ajith-like performance.

Raghuvaran and Trisha are the worst performers in Bheema.

A graceless actress and a graceless dancer, Trisha is the kiss of death for a movie. Surely, even the Kaiyya/Vaaya girls on Marina Beach must display more grace in their actions than this bimbo. Right?

No surprise then that while Trisha’s peers like Asin and Shriya Saran are moving on to bigger Continue Reading…
