Bheema - The Batchprocessor



Batch processing the mainframe jargon is what could be associated with Bheema- The Batchprocessor.
Got a chance to watch this movie yesterday with my school-mate. I and my friend were the only souls standing in the counter. We waited for some more people to join us as we were skeptical if they would play the movie for just two people. The first-class counter of Vetri theatre is a dungeon. It's a narrow passage.

I suspected the environment. The usual pan smell near the counter and something was stinking badly. We then saw a dog standing in the lane with no one to occupy the lane. What it really wanted was not the movie, but a shady place to relieve itself. Now we are stuck. We can't leave the counter from the side we entered. If we did, it would have meant, we either didn't mind stepping over dog's piss or we knew to walk on the wall. We hated Physics for it's theory of the liquid's capability to flow. In this case a meter long.

So we waited impatiently for the ticket issuer to give away the tickets and open the counter on the other side. Then came the issuer, we asked him if they would play only for us. He told, around fifty balcony tickets were sold. We wondered what would be the logic behind people buying balcony tickets when even the first class counter was free.

Coming to the movie, I would say, I enjoyed the movie thoroughly. The BGM whenever Vikram appeared was superb. But it gave me a feeling of Desperado. Trisha's looks convey that she is fighting for the Grand Old Heroine of Kollywood with Snake aa. Story has shades of Thalapathi.

The batchprocessing can be seen during the fight sequence. Though it's a propitiatory technique of Indian cinema, it is visible clearly in bheema.
I could even construct a process diagram as in Operating systems

When one batch is fighting with vikram the other batch is lying on the ground or just dancing on the same place as if ready to pounce on vikram but doing it only when he turns back to see them. Height of Heroic Stupidity.

When did the express trains started running with only three bogie as shown in the film?

The movie starts with director speaking in the background with words like kastam,malai etc... It is irritating to hear someone introduce a film with such a filthy tongue.
The song Rangu rangamma was superb. Sherin rocked in the song.
The pathetic part is the heroine's name is not known until the climax.
Overall, the movie was good. It would be a hit only if we stop believing in stereotype climax of LIVED HAPPILY EVER AFTER.

I watched the same in Sribrinda,theatre next road.
It was quiet full in my case because it was a week old.

Cant imgaine a gunda playing with bubbles!
Its far too predictable as you put it,a figth a romance scene with Trisha a song!
Enadhuriya best song in the album comes last with one stanza
Trisha was ravishing but then her dance skills sucks,in ragasiya kanuvugal,the other girls are better than her and also dance better

Overall yet another cliche cinema

I am not said...

nirmal,
you said it!!!
