Overall
AnbeShivam is a sincere effort from its cast and crew with an experimental touch to the main plot. Thanks to the creators for not adding commercial elements to it. The movie is refreshing with excellent performance from lead cast. It may not create any ripples at BO, but is a movie worth a watch. Maybe that’s why the kapoors had decided to remake it in Hindi with Anil kapoor in lead role.
