Om Shivam Kannada movie review , songs , trailer

Om Shivam, directed by Alwin Francis is a romantic action thriller that attempts to blend youthful passion, family conflict, and gritty violence into a high voltage cinematic experience.It revolves around Anjali and Shivu, two teenage lovers caught between their personal dreams and the harsh realities of societal judgment. Their love story is tender but turbulent, as Anjali’s mother opposes the relationship for reasons rooted in past trauma.  Anjali insists on marrying Shivu despite her mother’s resistance, triggering a chain of events that spiral into unexpected violence. The narrative takes a darker turn with the introduction of honey traps, drug syndicates, and murder plots, weaving a thriller around what begins as a simple love story. The film explores how love, when challenged by family secrets and external threats, can either evolve into resilience or collapse under pressure. The climax ties back to the emotional core, revealing the true reason behind the mother’s opposition and the consequences of youthful defiance. The performances are sincere, with Bhargava Krishna and Viranika Shetty anchoring the emotional arc. Lakshmi Siddaiah’s portrayal of a conflicted mother adds depth to the family drama.

Director Alwin Francis takes a bold approach, blending romance with action and psychological tension. The screenplay is packed with twists . The first half builds emotional momentum, while the second half leans heavily into thriller territory. Alwin’s direction is ambitious, attempts to tackle multiple themes—love, trauma, crime, and redemption.

Movie shows that Love demands courage—but also understanding.Communication between generations can prevent emotional damage.  Trauma, when unaddressed, can shape future relationships. Forgiveness is a process—not a moment. Justice isn’t always legal—it’s emotional and personal too .
