Garuda (2022) is a Kannada-language action drama that blends patriotic fervor with emotional storytelling and mainstream commercial appeal. Set in Goa, the film follows Ram, a seemingly ordinary restaurant owner whose hidden identity as a naval commando comes to light during an anti-terror investigation. With themes of revenge, duty, and national security, the movie touches on current issues like terrorism and demonetization while delivering high-octane action sequences and emotional flashbacks. Srinagara Kitty stands out with a commanding performance as an ATS officer, while Siddharth Mahesh shows marked improvement in his dual role. Though the film suffers from uneven pacing and underutilized female characters, it succeeds in delivering a satisfying masala entertainer that resonates with fans of action-packed, emotionally charged cinema.
