SHIVAM - Movie Reviews
rinivas Reddy who made his debut as director came with routine mass entertainer to attract masses. He depended on out and out comedy and succeeded for most of the first half. Ram's romantic scenes with Rashi and serious, hilarious scenes with villains attract the viewers. Pleothra of comedy stars entertain viewers. However second half drags after sometime as Srinivas Reddy lost plot with illogical narration and but Srinivas Reddy quickly tried to pull the strings in the climax but not up to the mark. Over all an average flick from a debutante.

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.

Routine and boaring, dragged second half makes Shivam just an average film to watch after an engaging first half. Ram has been energetic throughout and Rashi Khanna has been glamorous.

On the whole, Shivam is yet another routine and dragged out commercial entertainer. If you are ok with the same old story line, routine comedy and can manage to sit through the painful run time, you might end up liking it. But for the rest, other than Ram’s screen presence and some decent songs, this film has nothing much to offer and ends up as just an below average affair.

Debutante Srinivas Reddy selected a routine mass flick to be on the safe side. Similar type of stories are told time and again on silver screen and he tried to have new comedy scenes to generate interest. Story however goes nowhere but he managed to entertain viewers with good comedy in the first half.

From Ram point of view, this film is no way going to help his career because of routine formulaic treatment and excessively dragged second half. There is uncertainty and unsettledness in Sreenivasa Reddy direction which affected the movie in overall. Without a central point to establish, he wandered here and there wasting the run time finally ending on a flimsy note. In order to bring in sudden seriousness for the run, a friendship centric flashback is added.

Except for the track where Ram fools a gang of four (Jabardasth team) with his story, no scene is hilarious. At end of the movie as credits roll on, the director inserted the text title - Dhoola Teeruddi. What a prophecy by the director!

First half of the movie is passable despite the boring moments. Real test for patience starts post interval with the film pointlessly being dragged on and on. None of the scenes that the director expected to evoke fun clicked making it a totally boring affair. It will be a big test for anybody to sit until the titles roll on.

On paper the film might have definitely looked very good especially with so many twists and turns. However, looks like the steam is lost when executed. Though Ram oozed and breathed energy and vigor in every scene, the outdated story, unnecessary comical episodes and dragging second half makes the narrative a tad tedious.

Shivam is one of those films that make you pull your hair out and make you regret your decision to watch it. The main flaw with the film is that though things go snail paced and predictable till interval, it turns into a mess in the latter half.
