Shiva (1989): a trend setter

Rgv mark

Telugu film industry  has wide reputation in indian cinema because of its production values and films it made per year.

Starting from the talkie to present trending films, tfi has evolved in the hands of many legendary directors.after all cinema is a product out of human labor as compared to many other goods and services we value film as a member in our house .the very thing is clear no one dances before you and speak dialogues in ease and fights even if u pay  but it happens in the name of entertainment.

So we value movies and supplements more .

Tfi has a habit of sticking to single taste until people get bore of it .

To quote in example, janapadas,puranas and heroic folk tales are trended from 1950-70’s which caused the rise of mass hero NTR.but this overdosed and people shifted to agent ,detective films where super star krishna trended and later two wives and one husband movies trended and shoban babu is the master of it.

With advent of megastar chiranjeevi Tollywood broke the barrier of dance .

Even these  things happened tfi went far away from realistic making films. because people may not concern over it and make losses for producer.

This resulted in sticking to single way of making rod films.then a hope arose and Tollywood had a boon of having new talent and akkineni Nagarjuna introduced a new director Rgv who broke the tfi into before SHIVA after SHIVA.

many films on goons and their politics are made but they are not in realistic touch.student politics is the first background touched by Shiva film.

Plot is not a new but storytelling is exceptional. You cannot find a Telugu movie like shiva with realistic fights and short noted crisp punch diaogues.

Student politics in Vijayawada city forms the story line .right from the titles back ground score by ilayaraja is the soul of Shiva. S.Gopal reddy camera work is the individual one you cannot find in counter part Telugu films.

Rgv attempted well this movie from all corners and made it a classic.

Purijaganath ,krishna vamsi, teja, utej and many notable persons are part of shiva.

Director teja designed movie posters with knuckle duster.

Actor raghuvaran is the strong holding opposite Nagarjuna with his intense voice and sharp dialogues. Tanikela bharani wrote dialogues and did nanaji role to assist bhavani .

Jd chakravarthi changed his character name to surname from shiva.shiva nag

Cycle chain fight, interval bang and climax fight in natural taking made shiva a cult classic and a must watch to even today

If you call Rgv creative no doubt shiva is master piece.shiva is a new push to Tollywood to make realistic films in commercial format
