The 4K remastered version of "Shiva," enhanced with Dolby Atmos sound, has turned out to be a major success at the box office.
The cult classic now ranks among the highest-grossing Telugu film re-releases.
The film collected over Rs 4.5 crore gross in just three days, exceeding expectations.
Despite initial doubts about whether today’s generation would connect with a 1989 film, Shiva 4K proved its enduring appeal.
Starring Nagarjuna Akkineni, the film revolves around student politics and rising urban rowdyism, and marked the sensational directorial debut of Ram Gopal Varma.
In North America too, the remastered version performed impressively, grossing $60k, placing it comfortably in the top ten Telugu re-release earners in the region.
A truly resounding success, “Shiva 4K” highlights the effort by Annapurna Studios and Ram Gopal Varma in elevating the original with fresh grading, enhanced sound, and modern AI-driven restoration. |
