Bheemaa
Vikram’s Bheema which hit theatres on Pongal after a rather long wait fails to impress. The movie is all about a larger than life hero played with aplomb by Vikram and in the end he is the only saving grace in the movie.
The storyline is quite simple. The hero of the movie Sekar (Vikram) as a school boy grows up idolizing a rowdy Chinna (Prakash Raj). Later he joins hands with his childhood hero and goes about doing his tidings. Now as with all don movies there is a gang war going on between Chinna and Periyavar (Raghuvaran). After Sekar joins up with Chinna, the fight for total control intensifies and thanks to the heroics of Sekar Chinna gains total control of the city. But the fighting between the two sides disturbs the law and order and questions are raised as to when the atrocities would be brought to an end. The city’s new police commissioner believes in the might of the sword and forms a special team to take out the culprits through encounters. Meanwhile, SekaBheemaa Movie Reviewar falls in love with a girl (Trisha) who chases him everywhere and decides to leave the don and start a new life. What happens next and the fate of the all the characters are dealt with in the remaining part of the film.
Director Lingusamy who has made a string of successful action movies fails to impress with the story and a poor jerky narration does not help in lifting the movie from the mundane. The movie is one long monotonous sequence of stunts and song devoid of humour. The director has used some of the best talent in the industry- including R D Rajasekar for the camera, and Antony for the editing. But try as they might with their special abilities, the movie itself falls flat on its face. The director has tried his best to bring out the underworld, but the people who have had an overdose of gangster movies in reBheemaa Movie Reviewent times are only bored by yet another movie on the same lines. The storyline and the sequences remind one of many previous movies including Nayagan. In fact the dialogue spoken by Periyavar’s younger son in one particular sequences is exactly the same dialogue spoken by Nizhalkal Ravi in Nayagan where he asks his father permission to carry out an attack on rivals.
Vikram in his usual style carries the whole film on his shoulders much like the title. The actor who gives 200 percent for every character that he does has toned his body to match the larger than life character he is playing.
He has done justice to his role as a daredevil gangster and later as a man who experiences love for the first time. His macho look is matched with a suitable rugged look and characterization.
He handles the role very well and his performance makes one believe that it is possible for one man to change everything around him.
The actor’s hard work is evident in every frame where he has taken great effort to make sure that the movie comes out well, but sadly the thin line and the poor narration makes the effort go in vain.
Trisha comes and goes as a glam doll and seems to have put on a little weight though not too much to make her look awkward. She has very little scope for performance in the movie and has relied heavily on her previous performance in Saamy. She looks gorgeous in the songs and there is very little else for her to do in the movie.
R D Rajasekar has given his best from behind the camera and his creative cinematographic skills are evident throughout the film, especially in the stunt sequences. Kanal Kannan has organized the stunts and his trademark can be seen throughout the movie.
Harris Jayaraj’s background music is acceptable, but the songs do not gel well with the movie. The best song Mudhal Mazhai could have been filmed better. Jeevan’s art direction is excellent with some tasteful sets and atmosphere to match the mood of the film.
Everything said and done, Bheema is a one man show with Vikram dominating throughout the film, but there is little else that is commendable at the movie. Watch it if you are a die hard Vikram fan or if you enjoy out and out action movies.

Ashoka Movie
Movies released this season are mostly based on sentiments, romance and comedy. But Ashoka has come out with a different theme. It is an action based thriller.
Prem who is seen on screen after a long time, has taken up the Director’s work apart from being the hero of the film. He has given a racy script.
As per the story, Ashoka (Prem) is the Chief of the Prime Minister’s security officers. There are terrorists in the story who decide to eliminate the PM. Ashoka with his intelligence saves the life of the PM. There are a couple of villains in the film including Huzoor (Raghuvaran), Naveen, Anand Raj.
Raghuvaran comes as a terrorist hailing from Pakistan. Anand Raj is the Deputy Prime Minister. Anand Raj who owes lot to Raghuvaran does any thing he says.
So he helps Raghuvaran in his plan to assassinate the PM. How Ashoka saves the Prime Minister of the country from the talented and intelligent villains forms the rest of the story.
Director Prem has taken all efforts to make the story more realistic. He has deliberately avoided songs and comedy track in the film. This definitely is a wise move. If there were songs or comedy scenes, surely they would have put a block in otherwise fast paced script.
But of course, there are some loopholes in the film. If Prem had avoided that then the film would have been more interesting. There is sentimental track in the film, which is unwarranted.
