Shiva

Shiva, which attained cult status, is considered Nagarjuna’s breakthrough film. It is credited with the introduction of steadicam and new sound recording techniques in Telugu cinema, encouraging filmmakers to explore a variety of themes and make experimental films. For the April 2013 centennial of Indian cinema, CNN-News18 included Shiva on its list of 100 greatest Indian films of all time. Its Tamil-dubbed version, Udhayam, was also successful.
