My Movie – Bheemili

My brother was right. The movie is haunting me like no other movie ever did. Personally, for me, it has to do with the way it ended and how believable Nani made it look. I just cannot get the picture out of my mind. But I would not want the movie to end any other way. A great story cannot be contaminated because the audience is different. I am sure every one will appreciate the audacity of the Bheemili Team for telling a story like it is.

To tell you the truth, I was very disappointed when the movie started. The flashback did not get my attention. I really did not see any premise being well set. To make it worse, I hated the transition scene from the flash back to the present. After that, there was never a dull moment in the movie. Starting from the scene where he races with a bus. Nani racing the bus in a cycle reminded me of how he used to play with my Dhobi’s very old cycle. He was too young to reach the seat then, so he used to cross peddle it.

The love story was very beautiful and subtle. I heard comments from people that it is too subtle and there should have been more dialogues between the lead pair. Come on guys, did we forget what it was like for us. I am sure people who grew up in 80 and 90s would know, When was a girl ever allowed to talk more than what Saranya had to say? Yes, people are more straight forward in expressing themselves these days. But back in my school days, the only conversation between boys and girls was with their eyes. Scenes like Saranya getting scared of the dog, the Utti breaking game were so well made that a dialogue between them was so unnecessary.

The Kabaddi games were so real. Everytime Nani took the fall for the game, I kept thinking “Oh my god, Did he just do that for a movie”. The crudeness in the kabaddi team, the language, the dressing made it more real. I really liked how each player in the team really had a unique personality and how it was consistent through out the movie. Chanti was hilarious and I just laughed whenever he appeared on the screen. He didn’t even had to say anything.

It is definitely Nani’s best performance till date. For the first time, I did not see Nani and only saw Suri babu. That in itself is a great achievement. The effort he put into making Suri Babu real, really paid off. His passion for his profession really amazes me. Not sure how I ended up to be his sibling. :).I have no such talent. I am very very proud of you Nani and will always be your biggest fan.

Saranya was amazing within the limited screen presence she had. If an actress can convey everything just with her eyes, You cannot ask for more. The character required decency and she was the perfect pick. Tatineni Satya had showed a lot of maturity for a first timer and made a movie to remember.

On the whole, I thoroughly enjoyed the movie. People will probably never take my word and watch the movie. But I can say that if you don’t, you will miss one of the truest at heart movies. Movies like this encourage us to think differently and see what the reality could be in a not so perfect world. And if you cannot appreciate such a movie, then there is always that other movie playing in the theatre next door where the same story is being told for the 1000th time.
