Vikram
has
rocked
Telugu
audiences
with
his
films
like
Aparichitudu,
and
now
he
is
back
with
a
romantic
action
movie
Siva
Thandavam,
which
also
features
Jagapathi
Babu
and
Anushka
Shetty
in
leads.
With
a
wonderful
story,
the
film
is
all
the
way
a
show
of
Chiyaan,
who
is
sure
to
rock
the
viewers
in
Andhra
Pradesh
again.
Siva
Thandavam
is
a
revenge
drama
with
a
backdrop
of
a
love
story.
Vikram's
excellent
performance
is
the
main
highlight
of
the
movie.
Beautiful
story
and
screenplay,
good
camerawork,
stunning
stunts
and
action
scenes
are
its
other
attractions.
The
dragging
narration
and
uninteresting
music
are
its
main
drawbacks.
Siva
Kumar
(Vikram)
is
a
RAW
agent
and
is
a
very
honest
and
dedicated
employee.
Soon
after
getting
married
to
Meenakshi
(Anushka),
he
gets
an
assignment
to
hunt
down
a
terrorist
group
and
finds
a
device,
which
is
very
dangerous.
Unfortunately,
that
device
is
in
the
hands
of
one
of
the
terrorists.
Hunting
the
terrorists,
Siva
leaves
for
London.
As
he
is
searching
for
the
device,
he
gets
trapped
and
now
it
is
his
responsibility
to
prove
his
innocence
and
prove
that
he
is
not
a
traitor.
While
trying
to
prove
his
innocence,
he
gets
caught
in
a
bomb
blast
and
loses
both
his
eyes
and
also
his
wife.
He
is
saved
by
his
friends
in
London,
Sarah
(Amy
Jackson)
and
a
cab
driver
(Santhanam).
Whether
he
succeeds
in
his
mission
or
not
will
form
the
rest
of
the
story.
Performance:
As
the
title
suggests
the
hero
himself
has
done
the
Siva
Thandavam
by
taking
the
entire
responsibility
of
the
film
on
his
shoulders.
He
has
given
a
splendid
performance
both
as
a
RAW
officer
and
a
visually-challenged
person.
Anushka
has
filled
the
glamour
slot
well
and
has
also
done
a
good
job.
In
fact,
Jagapathi
Babu's
role
is
also
as
important
as
the
hero.
So,
this
film
could
be
treated
as
a
multi-character
film.
Lakshmi
Rai
and
Amy
Jackson
are
in
cameo
roles
and
they
have
played
key
characters
in
the
film.
Santhanam
is
sure
to
tickle
your
funny
bones.
His
comedy
coupled
with
Vikram's
comedy
is
perfect.
Nazar
and
others
have
also
done
justice
to
their
respective
roles.
Technical:
Nirav
Sha's
camerawork
is
excellent
and
his
picturisation
in
beautiful
locales
in
London
is
superb.
GV
Prakash
Kumar's
music
is
a
big
let
down
in
the
film.
Although
the
music
can
be
enjoyed
on
screen,
they
are
not
so
catchy.
Director
Vijay
has
chosen
a
beautiful
subject,
which
is
different
from
regular
masala
entertainers.
The
movie
has
several
dragging
moments,
but
viewers
may
not
be
able
to
feel
them
as
they
will
be
carried
away
by
the
different
twists
and
turns
in
the
film.
Remarks:
Siva
Tandavam
is
just
an
attempt
to
showcase
the
talent
of
Vikram
and
director
Vijay
did
his
best
to
entertain
the
audiences.
The
success
of
the
film
depends
on
how
the
audiences
will
accept
the
film.
But
for
me,
personally,
it
is
another
effort
of
Vikram
to
showcase
his
talent
in
a
different
subject.
The
film
is
worth
watching
at
least
for
one
time.
