Siva is a 1989 Tamil action drama film directed by Ameerjan. The film features Rajinikanth, Raghuvaran, Sowcar Janaki and Shobana in lead roles. The film is a remake of the 1977 film Khoon Pasina.[1] Rajinikanth played Raghuvaran's role in the Telugu version Tiger (1979), which starred N.T. Rama Rao. Siva was a box office failure.[2] The film was dubbed in Telugu as Tiger Shiva [3]

The film begins with Siva (Rajinikanth) and John (Raghuvaran) as kids, they are close friends like their fathers, in spite of their religious differences, one being Hindu and other Christian. A villain kills their families except Siva, John and John's mother, but John does not knows that Siva and his mother were alive and vice versa. 20 years later, Siva falls in love with Parvathy (Shobana) and marries her. John is a hired goon who will do only good deeds. John is hired by the same villan to kill Siva and during the fight both get injured and finally they come to know that they are childhood friends.
