"Bheemili" Movie Review: Telugu


Bheemili is a surprise winner in a season of lackadaisical movies and pretentious multi-starrers and costly failures. Tatineni Satya, son of yesteryears' seasoned director - Tatineni Prasad - picks a fantastic script that's tasted success in Tamil Nadu - 'Vennila Kabadi Kulu' and makes a clean and thoroughly entertaining film that's sure to go down with masses and classes.


The story: Naani and a gang of six hang out in trivial time-pass in playing Kabaddi in Bheemili. However, Naani's enthusiasm lets him just be caretaker to the team's changeover clothes as they step into Kabaddi attire. They become more enthusiastic as they see a full-level professionalization at a village Jatara. They get beaten whole and square, but the experience leaves the gang craving for more Kabaddi and more learning. In the same Jatara, Naani loses his heart out to a non-local beauty Saranya Mohan. She doesn't tell her name, but only reveals she is studying in a college in Rajahmundry. Nani meanwhile earns a place of trust that he can play like a trump card and eggs the remaining team on to aspire for competition at state-level in Rajahmundry. This becomes the turning point for the film and brings them in contact with a coach (Kishore) who mentors them to achieve unreasonable success in a short time. The team plays on to win but the movie has a twist in the end…

The movie dazzles in all departments – story, screenplay, music by Selvaganesh, cinematography. The chemistry between all artistes comes alive and unlike earlier films in Tollywood, Kabaddi, indeed becomes the main backdrop of the film on which the entire story revolves. It does get intense by the reel and builds the tempo up to burst into a crescendo in the end. Naani and Saranya Mohan sizzle while the coach Kishore steals a powerful performance that is sure to win him laurels and more roles. What's amazing is the way Tatineni Satya brings a fresh air of nativity, novelty and oodles of entertainment and comedy from ordinary starcast. The punchlines and the number of guffaws the village starcast draws out is sure to give a run for the money for all those iconic comedy actors who charge Biryani and a bomb. The movie is sure to be a draw in all B and C centres and is still going to have the emotional connect with classes. An immensely watchable movie
