Shiva

this is the best movie on campus politics in bollywood... directorial debut of RGV and his own script... the movie is about a young guy shiva (nagarjuna) who joins a new college... the student leader of college JD, is involved in campus politics and has protection by a goon bhawani... bhawani in turn has protection of the politicians who use all this hierarchy for their own purpose... shiva joins a group of students who are happily indifferent to the whole system... some provocations by JD make shiva confront him and that eventually becomes his fight against the whole set up against goons... he forms his own parallel group with his friends to fight JD, bhawani etal... amla plays the love interest of shiva...

the movie has terrific performance by nagarjuna as calm and intense character... some of the real good action sequences are when shiva beats up JD in college... the way he takes off the chain from cycle is still legendary :-)... the chase sequence when goondas chase shiva in an ambassador and he is on a cycle... the sequence when bhawani tries to kidnap amla... the movie was RGV's style with nagarjuna playing the lead role to the perfection...
