Shivam Movie Review

Energetic Star Ram is back to big-screens with an out-and-out commercial entertainer
Shivam, after a decent hit Pandaga Chesko. Producer Sravanthi Ravi Kishore has spent a whopping amount on the film, and let’s see if Shivam manages to bring smiles to the unit. Read Shivam Movie Review below.

Storyline

Shivam(Ram) is young happy guy who always takes risk for lovers in getting them married despite their parents force. While taking risk to unite a couple and fighting with Bhoji Reddy’s (Vineet Kumar) gang members, he comes across Tanu(Raashi Khanna) and falls instantly for her. He goes in search of her and woos the lady. While Bhoji Reddy’s members are in search of Shiva, there is another goon Abhi (Abhimanyu Singh) who plans to kidnap Tanu. Why is Tanu kidnapped? How will Shiva fight with Bhoji Reddy and Abhi simultaneously is the rest

Artist’s Performances

Ram has done his part well, and he is good at dances and fights, although the story is pretty much routine. But he needs to be careful with the script selection to be back in the game, as this film, is no way going to help his career.

Raashi Khanna is glamorous and cute, and is sure to allure the front benchers. She has supported Ram well.

Fish Venkat and Srinivasa Reddy offered some comedy relief here and there.

Abhimanyu Singh’s role is inconsistent, while Vineet Kumar’s role is quite regular.

Brahmanandam, Jaya Prakash Reddy, Sapthagiri was seen in conventional roles.

Posani is okay in typical role and so are Singer Mano and Surekha Vani. Others filled the screen.

Technicians Role

Producer Sravanti Ravikishore has spent a bomb on the film, and it can be seen in every frame, especially the songs. Rasool Ellore camera work is brilliant and the songs are all richly shot, while Devi Sri Prasad composed decent tunes, and the background score is okay. However, the good things end there, and the story of Shivam has nothing unique to offer, and neither the screenplay is gripping. Sreenivasa Reddy’s direction is poor and the proceedings are too dragging. Madhu’s editing is weak.

Analysis

Shivam takes off on a breezy note, establishing characterizations decently, and the first hour has some interesting scenes. However, as the story begins to proceed, the director’s inability and inconsistency shows up. Brahmanandam scenes or the Abhimanyu Singh were totally irritating and neither the interval block is impressive. The second half is totally silly and scenes are irrational. The comedy scenes are irksome except a very few, and the lead characterization is monotonous with a typical bunch of punch dialogues. Climax is another setback with hero turning preachy for a changeover in villain. The director has completely influenced by all commercial pot-boilers in recent times that it reminds you of too many recently released Telugu Films.

Finally

Shivam – Terrible and Tiresome

RATING: 2/5
