Shambo Shiva Shambo (also spelled Sambho Siva Sambho) is a 2010 Telugu action drama directed by Samuthirakani, a remake of his own 2009 Tamil hit Naadodigal. Ravi Teja, Allari Naresh and Siva Balaji play three friends who risk everything to help a couple marry, with Priyamani and Abhinaya, who repeats her role from the original. It was released on 14 January 2010 to mixed reviews.

What the story is about

Karna, Malli and Chandu are close friends, each with his own plans. Karna loves his cousin Muniamma, whose father wants him to land a government job first. Malli dreams of going abroad as soon as Karna gets his passport. Chandu wants to open a computer training centre and is in love with Karna’s sister Pavithra. Then Karna’s friend Santosh, the son of the Home Minister, asks for help: he is in love with the daughter of his family’s bitter rivals. The three friends decide to unite the couple against all odds, and the film is about what that decision costs them. We will leave the rest to the film.

Making of the film

This is an official remake of Naadodigal, and the title comes from a song in the Tamil film. It was the second collaboration between producer Bellamkonda Suresh and Ravi Teja after Naa Autograph (2004); part of it was shot in Kurnool. Sundar C. Babu’s soundtrack, released by Aditya Music at a launch at Prasad Labs, Hyderabad, on 2 January 2010, reuses the original’s songs except for “Bava Bava” and “Kanupapalalo Prema”. The film was later dubbed into Hindi as Mera Krodh.

Reviews

Opinions differed. Sify rated it 4/5 and called it “entertaining”, and SuperGoodMovies (3/5) said all the actors gave their best. Radhika Rajamani of Rediff.com gave it 2/5 and doubted it would have the impact of the Tamil original, and Jeevi of Idlebrain.com (2.75/5) found the story idea good and realistically handled but said the director “couldn’t mould the movie to suit the Telugu nativity”.

Box office

Wikipedia describes the film as a box-office hit despite the mixed reviews, but gives no source or figure for that, and we have not found one from a named outlet.
