3.5 / 10 · TMDB

Aalwar is a traditional priest. He is devoted to his mother and sister. But the villainous elements Lal, Vincent Asokan, kill the sister and mother. Aalwar, with revenge ringing in his mind, ends up as Shiva the killer, even while working as a ward boy in a hospital. Shiva is out to make a statement against the venal forces. He sees himself as some kind of avatar — in fact, he bumps off the baddies under the get-up's of Lord Rama and Lord Krishna. In climax, Shiva turns up as Lord Narasimha and bumps off the last villain by placing him on his thighs and ripping apart his bowels and chest with his sharp claws.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs a classic revenge narrative as a mythological act, relying on the visual power of the protagonist's transformations into Hindu deities. It explores the thin line between sanctity and violence, using religious iconography to frame its brutal vendetta.

What lingers after viewing is an extreme genre blend where ritualistic violence becomes a form of catharsis, and the final claw-driven climax etches itself into memory. — MovieFinder Editorial
