A constant tug of war between two underworld gangs trying to outsmart each other is offset by the arrival of a man of steel.

Reviews
KnotStronger This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.
Micah Lloyd Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.
Nayan Gough A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
Ezmae Chang This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
DaSuperstar I do not know what all the fuss is about , yes Bheema is a good movie but it's not Shakespeare , cos I read other reviews about the movie before I could watch it and critics hailed it as such a brilliant art movie , to me it is a commercial entertainer but it is more retrained , it does have a more realistic portrayal of gangster life in Chennai but it still has commercial ingredients , the love angle which happens all too quickly as with most Tamil movies , the one man against 50 men fight scenes which are over the top but done well in most part.Do not get me wrong the movie is good , especially Vikram , Trisha and Prakash Raj , in a way it is two movies , Vikram's relationship with Prakash Raj and his romance with Trisha , the former being the mentor - student relationship , which forms the crux of the movie and is acted and played out well , the flashbacks scenes help to emphasis this, the latter relationship although like I earlier said happens too quickly is also acted well but it is also a reason for having your mandatory love songs in the movie though it is also the reason for the turning point in the movie and a very different ending I must say.All in all a good entertainer with a more realistic approach but still not forgetting the key commercial ingredients , Vikram does shine here and Prakash Raj and Trisha help him do that.
bnarsim i expected more from this film vikram after a hiatus of almost 2 and a half years has acted in a shoddily directed filmits high on style but low on substance vikrams performance is the only good thing in the film the action scenes are done well but there's no story . it borrows from a lot of films there's a bit of nayakan thalapathy and a bit of a few other films the songs were not called for they don't make the film realistic. it was a very average experience.Songs should be cut out from any film . they are for noly the stereotype Indian audiencesso im going with 5 on 10 for Bheema a big disappointment
arul murugan Another Gangster movie which came close to being goodThey have put lot of good effort and they have struggled more than (they did for Titanic) to get this movie released with all the financial crisis piled over the past three years...I should admit that the Climax wax very good, real good..but not entirely unique or different...we have seen this kind of Endings in lot of Gangster movies. For Example Company in Hindi and lot other movies in English... If Lingusamy had decided to give such a serious closing, then he should have given the same treatment from the beginning of the movie....Till the first 2 hours, Bheema is your usual Tamil-Gangster-masala-musical movie...In fact if you see the last half-hour of the movie you can have the full feel and sense of the movie because the 2 hours before that has nothing special....Vikram with BGM will be walking all over chennai and shooting his targets without even seeing him..and flex his muscle throwing everyone over the roof...but I should admit that the fight before the Interval was good...in fact all the fights are decent enough for tamil movie...But I really expected a gangster movie with great substance with lot great dialogues and Intelligent Plote(like Puthupettai) but hmhmh...Except for the climax, nothing special to mention
gk i have seen about 500 odd films in English and other languages,but this film stayed in my mind longer than any film . i just couldn't forget it. The hero Vikram .... wow! This guy is the best out there in Indian cinema....and i mean it. i am a die hard fan of johnny depp and al pacino, for a moment i was confused in choosing who was my favorite actor, this guy can really act!The director needs a special mention here, the entire film has a Hollywood kind of a feel to it.This definitely has to be my favorite film in Indian cinema and surely in my top 5 films of all time.****1/2 of *****
