Shivam Review Shivam Movie Review Shivam Telugu Movie Review...Hero Ram is not scoring commercial hits these days, but to an extent Pandaga Chesko satisfied his desire. However, that didnt turned into a full pledged blockbuster. For that reason he is now coming up with "Shivam" which happens to be a action-packed comedy entertainer. Let us see how the film is.
The CONTENT:
Siva (Ram) is a carefree, go lucky kind of guy who helps every couple who wants to elope and get married. In that process, he has to face difficulties as everyone's powerful family starts chasing him. One day while escaping one such chase, he gets into tiff with Bhoji Reddy (Vineet Kumar) and his gang. While they are chasing, he falls in love at first sight with Tanu (Rashi Khanna). By the time Siva meets Tanu and expresses his love, goons of Bhojireddy and another gang of Abhi (Abhimanyu Singh) also chases Siva. Finally when a gang catches Siva, what happens to Tanu and who is Abhi forms the rest of story. A trial of comedy, errors and huge fights lead to another routine climax.
The EFFORT:
On-Screen:
Ram is credited as energetic star, but problem is that he always shows the similar body language, despite of what the character is. For any film, he looks pretty much the same and performs the same. There is no change in Shivam too. At a point, it looks boring. He dances well, emotes well, utters dialogues well, but it's the same kind of acting all the time.
Heroine Rashi Khanna looks chubby and glamorous, especially she killed it in songs. But when it comes to emotions, she's rather weak. That chirpy, energetic and active body language is absent in her.
Villains Vineet Kumar (Vikramarkudu fame) and Abhimanyu Singh (Rakta Charitra fame) are regular and routine. Brahmanandam failed to delivery comedy miserably. Srinivas Reddy, Satyam Rajesh and Saptagiri are little better. Jabardasth gang like Shaklaka Shankar and Chanti too failed to evoke laughs. Rest of the actors are like you blink they will miss.
Off-Screen:
Newcomer director Srinivas Reddy failed to recreate any magic in terms of direction. At least he should have selected good story and screenplay. While story is routine to the power of routine, screenplay is the most dumbest things. At least good dialogues would have done their part, but both Srinivas and his writer Kishore Tirumala haven't influenced much in that aspect.
Devi Sri Prasad has given some energetic songs that would let Ram and Rashi dance well, but his background score disappointed. Not even one fight or dance got an elevation because of his music and re-recording. Cinematography by Rasool Ellore sounds interesting only in songs, rest it somehow gave jerks. Art direction is poor while Editing is jerky.
Other departments have done their part moderately.
The PLUSES:
Ram's energy (though routine)
Three songs shot in Norway
some routine comedy
The MINUSES:
Plain-jane story with no excitement
Hapless plot and uninteresting twists
Poor climax
BREAKDOWN:
Newcomer director Srinivas Reddy has also chosen a routine 'comedy' and 'action' story with nothing interesting to make his debut. Like a Gopichand Malineni's Don Seenu and Santosh Srinivas' Kandireega, even Srinivas Reddy might have thought of doing some magic. But it didn't worked.
Film starts very routinely with Ram rescuing a girl from a marriage and getting her married to her lover. Though director thought of some new elements, somehow they didn't get connected. And then story shifts from villain to villain, finally settling down at Kurnool after hero falls for her at first sight. The love story episode, comedy with Jabardasth gang sound more routine and uninteresting. As the story shifts here and there, with Brahmi failing to make any impact, villains looking like jokers, other comedians like Fish Venkat uttering poor dialogues, it leads a cliched interval bang, that disappoints.
As the film travels to second half, a new villain overtakes the whole story, thereby giving some new dimension. But as heroine gets rescued by the hero, the film takes same usual turn, where two villains wanting the hero. The game of cat and mouse, routine and disappointingly routine scenes take over, testing the patience of any. And then there comes a surprise flash back to reveal every single truth behind hero's motive to help eloping lovers. That flashback sounds much more mediocre and hapless. Finally the film heads to a routine climax with scenes having inspirations from super hit films but failed miserably to entertain audience. Except couple of songs shot in Norway, that look beautiful and also choreographed will with Rashi's glamour splashed all over, others pique interest.
Forget A centres, even B & C centres audiences might not like this routine stuff. By Monday the real scene of the film's performance at box office will be out. But by all chances it could end up as a below-average to disaster for our hero. New director should have worked hard rather smart.
Final words: Shivam is tough to bear
RATING: 2/5
