Critical response

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." Y. Maheshwar Reddy of ''Bangalore Mirror'' gave 2.5/5 stars and wrote that the film is "worth a watch, but not for families." 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." 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." 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." 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."
