Garudan

A young girl Theresa(Chaithanya) is raped and slips to coma. IPS officer harish madhav(Suresh gopi) with the help of the eyewitness salam(jagadeesh) arrests professor nishanth(biju menon). The court sentence nishanth for life imprisonment. 7 years later, nishanth is released from prison losing his family, career and dignity. Nishanth appeals to high court that the investigation was done hastily and wins the case by being the advocate himself. Nishanth wins back his family and starts working as a public prosecutor. On the other hand, harish who was retired is asked to pay compensation to nishanth for framing him. Where the whole world starts believing nishanth's innocence, harish is still adamant that he is not done a mistake. Rest of the film is harish trying to prove that he was right or not.

Story of garudan is interesting and first half was pretty good. But second half loses grip were suresh gopi turns alcoholic and stubborn to prove he was right. Climax was also a bit underwhelming as the killer could have been well explored. It could have been more creepy but makers tried to play safe.

On the whole, garudan is a decent one time watch.

The movie is different from usual investigation thrillers. The duration was perfect. Since the script is good enough, throughout the movie is engaging. Really like the bgm and cinematography.

All the characters were performed so well. Normally thrillers follow some cliche patterns but this movie I really like. There were no extra gimmicks. Film flows so naturally.

Suresh gopi did a good job. Don't expect the vintage police character of suresh gopi. In this movie he is a retired police officer and hos mannerisms and gestures including voice modulation were good.

Still we get goosebumps when we see sSureshettan on big screen.

After all SG nailed it. He should do back to back movies.

Fantastic 😍 thriller. Must watch. Don't miss it.

Background Previous Quote Good Movie Quotes Background Next Quote I have a very simple definition of a good movie: a good movie makes you forget you're watching a movie.

Inside Out' - that was a really good movie. That's the first animated movie I saw since.

At the end of the day it's got to be a good movie, it's got to be a funny movie, and it's got to make people think, 'Hey, I couldn't have spent my time any better.' As far as entertainment, 'The Right Stuff' is a good movie. As far as a documentary of the early space days, which they purported it to be, it is not at all.

Garudan" is a gripping crime investigative thriller that keeps you engaged throughout. The movie is filled with unexpected twists at the beginning and end, making it a truly exhilarating watch. The performances, especially by Suresh Gopi and Biju Menon, are top-notch, adding depth to the intriguing storyline. Through out the movies i was on the edge of their seat. It had some trilling plot make it a must-watch for people who love crime dramas. It's truly amazing to see how far Malayalam cinema has come, and "Garudan" is a shining example of the industry's excellence. Can give solid 8/10 for the movie and the ending.

I enjoyed every bit of this crime thriller. What a movie! I remember people saying it's a sleeping pill but this movie was very much engaging for me. Classy story from Midhun Manuel Thomas and a superb direction from Arun Varma. There have been similar attempts in Hollywood, but that didn't dissuade me from proceeding with this one.

The movie is kind of slow-paced, but the story is incredibly smooth, and it won't allow you to fast-forward even for a second. All the supporting actors were amazing in their respective roles. I would have given it 9 stars, but some dialogues were too much for Suresh Gopi, and it would have been great if the creators had avoided that.

Biju Menon needs a separate paragraph. He has come a long way. What an actor! I would like to attach this movie to Biju Menon rather than the lead SG. It's a Biju Menon 'show' throughout.

Do give it a watch.
