Our Review

Fighter Shiva charges into screens as a high octane action thriller, with Manikanth Kota as a determined fighter battling corruption and personal vendettas in a gritty urban arena, directed by Prabhas Nimmala. Sunil Varma lends gravitas as a mentor figure, while supporting roles add intensity to the fast-paced narrative blending martial arts with emotional stakes.

The film echoes Telugu hits like Sye but infuses modern VFX and choreography for crowd-pleasing fights, though clichéd dialogues and predictable twists temper its punch. Critics note solid performances and energetic score, making it a decent watch for action buffs despite execution flaws.

Box office opened modestly at ₹0.20 crore India gross amid limited screens and competition from Avatar: Fire and Ash, with occupancy around 15-20% in Telugu circuits per early reports. On an ₹4 crore budget, it needs word-of-mouth on action sequences to reach ₹3-5 crore lifetime, similar to mid-tier thrillers like Drive. If family appeal grows during holidays, semi-hit potential; otherwise, flop risk in a crowded slate.

Evergreen draw comes from themes of perseverance and justice, akin to classics like Ghilli, with rewatchable stunts inspiring more regional action flicks in Tollywood. Compared to 2025 blockbusters like Dhurandhar, it positions as an underdog for niche fans, proving low-budget energy can captivate despite routine scripting, enriching Telugu cinema’s action genre beyond stars.
