Bheema

Had to stop it after watching for an hour. Not sure how did this film even become a hit. A very disengaging direction. Story revolves around drug trafficking n its widespread impact amongst youngsters. Execution is so bad I couldn't bear it post an hour. It's more like a tapori movie with very bad dialogues and pathetic songs. Available in Amazon Prime. My ratings 2/10!

The film's exploration of how new drugs enter the market and how medical stores facilitate access is the only commendable aspect. However, apart from that, there is little to appreciate. The screenplay is disjointed, lacking coherence and direction, making it difficult to watch. The direction fails to provide any meaningful engagement or depth, and the music is forgettable and poorly integrated into the narrative.

Overall, the film's presentation is amateurish, and it pales in comparison to several short films by novice creators that are far superior in quality. Many scenes feel irrelevant and contribute nothing to the story, leaving a sense of disarray and confusion. The lack of a cohesive structure or purpose makes it challenging to remain invested throughout the movie.

Bheema (Vijay Kumar) is an adopted son of Java Ramanna (Achyuth Kumar), who ran a garage. His previous employee Manju was crooked and became a drug peddler making the garage as his spot, ruining the name of the garage. His business eventually costs Ramanna dearly and this pitches Bheema against Manju who has grown to be Dragon Manju and a kingpin in drugs mafia. Bheema obliges to his father's wishes but also grew up forming his own gang. He vows to end Manju but first, saving the kids who have been turned into drug addicts / drug peddlers, gives Bheema a bigger purpose. How does he end the reign of Manju, avenging his father and also save his people, forms rest of the story.

Though weak, there is a story here and Vijay Kumar's writing is old school. Unlike Salaga, there is no non-linear narrative and there are no twists ahead. It is a straight forward revenge story which is as violent as it can get with Vijay shedding light on the drugs issue prevalent in the city. The dialogues are raw and the overuse of cuss words was definitely in bad taste. The screenplay is uneven and the story picks up only from the rehabilitation center segment in the second half. Vijay Kumar is ambitious in his 2nd directorial, has couple of strong female characters but that is all the positives I could highlight apart from him finding Dragon Manju as villain. It is extremely violent and the whole teenagers having gang wars influenced by drugs barely made me feel for those characters as they had no back stories or a personality to recognize them apart. They were all foul mouthed gullible kids who don't feel a thing after committing a brutal murder or watching a gruesome death. The writer Vijay should try to humanise his characters rather than keeping them as caricatures.

This is Duniya Vijay's second directorial venture, and once again, he proves his mettle following the success of *Salaga*. The first half of the movie is among the best I've seen in a long time. If you're a fan of raw, intense cinema, this film is a treat. However, the second half felt a bit rushed and could have been better paced.

Charan Raj's music is a major highlight, adding great depth to the film. Despite the presence of relatively new faces in the cast, they all deliver performances on par with seasoned actors. A special mention goes to Priya, who portrays a lady police officer with stellar conviction-she's likely to have a bright future in the Kannada film industry. Dragon also gives a commendable performance, and the heroine of the film is decent, doing justice to her role.

Lastly, Duniya Vijay pours his heart into this project, successfully delivering a powerful message. Overall, it's a great movie, albeit with some minor flaws.
