GRE Words that is Not in Barrons - I
Posted by deepak at 11:59 PM 0 comments
is bheema worth watching??
Well the trailer for this much awaited movie was awesome.I am a Vicky fan and had watched his Anniyan and Sami on the release dates.Those were great movies and managed to live up to my expectations.This movie had great music from Harris and Anthony(editor) made this movie look great on screen.In spite of their magic the director i would like to say messed up the whole screen play.The scenes where Vikram fights are too much for even a Vikram fan to see.Not even a superman can perform those stunts.I am surprised that Vikram agreed to act in those scenes.After the great performances in Pitamagan and Sethu i would only say that the director made least use of this performer.Thrisha's role is some thing which needs no acting.What's wrong with the director??? when will we see lead female actor with good performance packed roles?? The bond between Prakashraj and Vikram had no logic.To sum up things only a good screen play would have helped the movie gain more.
