Technical Aspects:
Music by Sricharan Pakala is a major advantage for the film as it is haunting. The cinematography work by Praveen K. Bangari is good.

The production values for this limited budget movie are good.

In an overview, Shambala is a supernatural thriller that impresses in parts. Except for interval and climax portions, the film has a dull proceedings. Keep your expectations in check, if you are watching the movie during this weekend.
