Welcome to the world of guns, knives, belts and acid bottles! This is definitely not the scenario in a metro city. This world also has an honest cop trapped in the middle of corrupt ministers and cops who are hand-in-glove with gangsters. If this is Ram Gopal Varma's idea of bringing violence back to Indian cinema, then bad luck, it's just not happening!

There's a sense of déjà vu while watching 'Shiva'. It's nothing like you've never seen before, in fact, the maker of 'Shiva' himself has made cop movies and other films based on corruption. So what's new about this one? Even the lead pair isn't, except that the female lead, Nisha Kothari, is not wearing skimpy clothes like in her previous film with the same maker, except in a couple of unwanted romantic songs!

Yeah, we just remembered! A gangster-turned-politician's henchman hammers a massive nail into a person's head in broad daylight while the cop witnessing the scene just smiles and walks away. If this isn't enough, a dreaded gangster from Malaysia slices off a gangster's ear in a fit of rage. This dreaded gangster also behaves like an accomplished acrobat. But unfortunately, instead of evoking fear, he manages to bring forth a few laughs in the audience.
