About Shambhala plot
The newly released trailer depicts a secluded community affected by a cosmic event connected to an unusual meteor. The neighbourhood is plagued by strange happenings that make people fearful and superstitious.

The superstitious peasants back home get terrified when odd things happen. Villages as a whole begin acting strangely, and some people injure themselves. Some also take their own lives.
The story revolves around Vikram (Aadi Saikumar), a logical geoscientist assigned to investigate into the strange happenings, which causes a fierce conflict between science and traditional beliefs.
Beyond its supernatural aspects, the movie explores deeper issues of mythology and human belief systems, fusing science and tradition in a story that is both captivating and unnerving. The images in the trailer highlight a society torn between fear, faith, and the unknown.
