Critic Review
Sankham (2009) Chandu (Gopichand) is brought up by his uncle (Chandra Mohan) in Australia. Mahalakshmi (Trisha) stays in Australia along with her uncle. Chandu is fond of martial arts and he never gets a chance to exhibit them in real situations. Mahalakshmi is another martial arts freak. After a few misunderstandings they fall in love. Mahalakshmi is forced to come back to her home town in Rayalaseema. Chandu comes in search of her. Meanwhile Sivaiah (Satyaraj) and his opponent Pasupathi (Kota Srinivasa Rao) belong to two neighboring villages. They have longtime enemity. The crux of the movie is how Chandu and Mahalakshmi are related to Siavaiah and Pasupathi.

Shankam is very formulaic. Second half is unbearable. With wafer-thin storyline, director drags on the movie for more than two and half hours. First half is the only saving grace..

First half of the movie is uninteresting as most of the scenes have nothing to do with the main story line. Second half has heavy duty emotions with a bit of Tamil flavor.
