What's the film all about?
As for the plot, Bheeshma Parvam is about a former gangster, who now works as a maritime transporter from Fort Kochi. Following some unfortunate events, however, he is forced to revisit his past. As per Shahir, "There are several goosebumps-worthy scenes in the film. It's not a complete mass film, it's a small mind-game kind of movie. You will be stunned after watching it."
