Nithiin in 'Bheeshma' seems to be a mini 'Maharshi', fighting the good fight for safe and sustainable agricultural practices. Jisshu Sengupta, who was recently seen in 'Aswathama' as a psychopathic killer, plays a corporate predator promoting dangerous chemical farming.

Nithiin, a comically frustrated (because he is single, unable to impress a single girl) youth, bursts forth onto the scene to fight the evil, seemingly helped by Anant Nag's character. The hero's "You touch me I poke you. You poke me I scraaaatch you" is hilarious and it will be fun to watch him and Vennela Kishore.

Rashmika Mandanna may well be more than a glamorous doll in the romantic actioner.

Mahathi Swara Sagar's songs, released so far, are good.

Naresh, Sampath, Raghu Babu, Brahmaji, Narra Srinivas, Kalyani Natarajan, and Rajshri Nair are also part of the cast. Sai Sriram is the cinematographer.

Written and directed by Venky Kudumula, the film releases on February 21.
