Reception
editCritical response
editS. Sridevi of The Times of India gave 3/5 stars and wrote "Bheema, Vijay Kumar’s directorial after Salaga, is written for a mass audience and he has been clear about it from the get go."[7] A. Sharadhaa of The New Indian Express gave 3/5 stars and wrote "The film’s raw style of direction combined with Charan Raj’s intense soundtrack contribute to a powerful and visceral experience."[8] Y. Maheshwar Reddy of Bangalore Mirror gave 2.5/5 stars and wrote that the film is "worth a watch, but not for families."[9] Shashiprasad SM of Times Now gave 2.5/5 stars and wrote "Despite a promising first half and a strong social message, Bheema ultimately falls short, succumbing to a predictable storyline and typical drama, leaving viewers disappointed by the end."[10] Sujay B. M of Deccan Herald gave 2/5 stars and wrote "While Duniya Vijay fans may like the masala film because it is packed with drugs and smeared with blood, others will lose very little by skipping it."[11] Pratibha Joy of OTTplay gave 1.5/5 stars and wrote "Bheema has been made for audiences who are okay with mindless action, dialogues and counter-dialogues, with some objectification of women thrown in, for good measure."[12] Vivek M. V of The Hindu wrote "Directed by and starring Vijay in the lead, ‘Bheema’ partially manages to be a typical commercial entertainer successfully conveying a noble message."[13]
