Shiva is a 2006 Hindi film produced and directed by Ram Gopal Varma. The film is a remake of the 1989 Telugu film of the same name, which was the debut film of Varma as a director. Despite the success of the original film in Telugu and Varma's 1990 remake in Hindi, the 2006 version did not do well at the box-office.
The film begins with the brutal murder of a Mumbai man named John by a group of Gangsters led by ruthless Kingpin Bappu Ganesh (Upendra Limaye) who terrorizes the slums of Mumbai striking fear into the heart of slum-dwellers. As time goes on, Babbu becomes more and more powerful, until he manages to seize power from the Government of Maharashtra and make himself Chief Minister of the state. As Chief Minister, Babbu is able to seize all of Maharashtra's money and launder it stripping the people of their wealth. Shiva Swarassi (Mohit Alawat) is a poor slum-dweller who, after watching his parents being brutally murdered by Bappu's men, decides that it's time to get rid of Bappu. He gets the people of Dharavi Slum in Mumbai together and forms a rebellion against Bappu promising that he will avenge his deceased parents and kill Bappu.

Plot: Unemployment, corruption, and crime are rampant in modern day India. To add to these, hundreds of young men are now being reported missing by their parents. The Police have no clue as to the whereabouts of these men, but unknown to them, these men are being recruited by an international terrorist named Akash. ACP Parashuram Singh is assigned to apprehend Akash and bring him to justice. He befriends a restaurant waiter, Shiva, and permits him to live with him. Then a petty thief, Meena, finds out about Akash and reveals his plans to Parashuram. Since Meena's life is in danger, he places her in the care of his girlfriend, Anjali, only to find out that Shiva is Akash's spy. When Akash's men attempt to kill Meena, they are interrupted by Parashuram, who also manages to convince Shiva to rat on Akash, which he does. The Police entrap Akash in a village field, but Akash manages to escape. Shortly thereafter, Akash's bullet-ridden body is found. The Police are all set to close this case, when a Political Minister's son is abducted. This is when Parashuram will find out that Akash is not dead, and the body they found was of Shankaran Kutti, Akash's twin. While attempting to rescue first the Minister's son and then Shiva, Parashuram finds himself a captive and face to face with a terrorist - who even if killed - has already brainwashed hundreds of young men to follow in his destructive path - to be terrorists and suicide bombers themselves.
