‘Shivam’ is envisaged as a special film in Energetic hero Ram’s career because of the extensive publicity strategy and for its’ following next to commercial hit ‘Pandaga Chesko.’ There were many factors which went wrong with ‘Shivam’ and the final on screen output. Despite Ram exhibited efficient energy levels, problem lied in direction, scripting and even editing with excessive run time.
Immediate response from makers to the negative talk spread for ‘Shivam’ was to curtail the run time and we heard the news fresh about chopping nearly 20 to 25 minutes length from the final cut from yesterday evening. So ‘Shivam’ can now be a bearable experience for your weekend, if you love Ram and Rashi Khanna or Fan of Devi Sri Prasad music.
With ungovernable loop holes in the overall film run, the best producer Sravanthi Ravi Kishore and director Sreenivasa Reddy can do was to just re-edit the movie by decreasing run time. This is last effort from their side to save ‘Shivam’ and rest depends upon public verdict because ‘Pandaga Chesko’ wiped off as a flop film from Ram finally stood as a commercial hit film with decent profits for buyers.
