This Animal takes you on a wild beast-mode ride with gritty action sequences and a father-son drama. Ranbir again proves why he is one of the finest Indian actors in the current gen. He gives his best. The other hero of this movie is BGM. Many action sequences get the necessary elevation due to amazing score by Harshavardhan. Rashmika plays her part well and her confrontation scenes with Ranbir stand out. Sandeep pens some really good practical dialogues for all those scenes. Never seen Bobby Deol act so well. He brings life to the antagonist role just with his expressions. Overall, this Animal is something that has never been tamed on Indian screen. Although, it's 3 hr plus, you won't regret watching something different on the screen. Go for it !!

As far as Sandeep, Arjun Reddy still stands out as his best work till date. But Animal is no less.

PS-1 has been Mani sir's dream project for a while and finally he delivers and doesn't disappoint at any juncture. With an ensembled star cast and ARR's thumping score, Mani narrates a gripping tale. Aishwarya Rai Bachhan and Trisha stand out and dominate everyone else. The episodes between them were superbly etched and the conflict between them was smartly showcased. You just can't take your eyes off Aishwarya whenever she's on screen. Karthi gets a meaty role and does his best. Vikram was good in parts. ARR is the soul of PS 1 and his terrific BGM elevates every episode. Go watch it and you won't be disappointed. Eagerly waiting for Part 2.

One can say that bad movies of PSPK could be worse than the 3rd wave, if shown to Mr P he could go delirious and probably end war. At the same time, even it fetches decent talk it could register cash bells ringing, mark them as a massive hits. Bheemla Nayak, an honest remake of Ayyappanum Koshiyum with added masala elements falls into the later category and will end up as one of the first commercial hits in 2022. It has Trivikram flavor all over. He should wielded the megaphone too.

The actor in PSPK does well for a change. Although, a common moviegoer will still find him monotonous while his die hard fans would embellish it as his trademark and his signature style of performance. Rana as Daniel Shekhar steals the show and outperforms PSPK in a no. Of episodes. He was a treat to watch. The confrontation scenes were etched well and Thaman complements with a thumping BGM although he still resorts to getting "copy-inspired" by various movies BGMs (Bahubali BGM was carboned this time). Rao Ramesh repeats his Aa Aaa style of theatrics but manages to entertain. Nithya gets a meaty role and does justice. Samuthirakani plays the baddie with poise.

I liked Sagar Chandra's Apatlo Okaduundevadu, probably I was one of the very few who liked that movie. His puts in a modest effort with Bheemla and tries to stamp his mark. With Trivikram in the shadows it ain't an easy job. The way Daniel's characterization was handled in the pre climax episodes was disheartening to say the least. Also, the movie pace dips after the first 20-30 mins and again gains back momentum with a massy thumping interval bang.

Overall Bheemla awards PSPK much needed hit after a long, long time. If you haven't seen Ayyappnum you will enjoy it even more. For all fans of Ayyappnum, Bheemla is its massy version with PSPK's touch, trivikram's punch and Rana's cinch. Go for it.
