Garudan

Story of how a Dog becomes a man... No offence- I just wanted to convey the conviction of faith like a dog converts to valuable emotional

The story revolves with the trio all the time Sasi Kumar, Soori and Unni with tensions all the time. Sasi Kumar and Soori have done exceptionally well and it's Sasi Kumar the hero of the movie supported by Soori. Sasi stole the stage almost the whole show and Soori at last 30 mins. Shivada, vadivukarasi and remembered for their performance and the heroine Revathi gets hidden and not so worthy.. Roshini enters the silver screen and worthy role and if she does these supporting roles, she can atleast earn fame and money - but if she demands heroine roles, just get lost...

Overall violence is heavily shown and I wonder how U/A was provided. Songs and BGM did not stick to mind and Yuvan never came to mind.

Good direction, there is plenty of room for improvement. Soori has performed well. Definitely a good watch and a good movie that came off lately.

Unni mukundan could have done better, 2nd half was a bit too lengthy, I feel closing scenes could have been done a little better.

Camera and direction was good, stunt for sooris fight scenes were good, no extravagant fight where the villans fly like we have seen in the other movies.

Some characters could have been avoided made no use, and could have added more content during those times.

I can say one of the best Tamil movie scenes seen in the recent past.

The movie is extraordinary in the first half and the interval block is so thrilling to close as "Naadodigal" one interval block.... The character and story development was fantastic.

Liked the lead trio characters most and Soori's silence and "non-stop" dialogs to reveal the truths are ultimate.

The second half also good, but the freshness in the first half was missing.

Too much of violence also little bit minus. And the after credit scene is 80's cinema cliche.

The overall screenplay and cast makes the movie as a worth watch in big screen.

This film ambitiously tackles three significant issues that affect the human experience in the countryside, presenting them in a raw and unfiltered manner. However, it falls short in key areas of storytelling, editing, and screenplay, which are crucial for a compelling narrative.

The strength of the story and the actors' performances are engaging, with each actor striving to deliver their best. Yet, the film often breaks immersion, pointing out its own highlights rather than letting the viewer discover them organically. This is somewhat forgivable considering the involvement of upcoming actors, where certain faults can be overlooked.

Despite its shortcomings, the film manages to be an average watch. The fulfillment one seeks from a complete cinematic experience is not fully realized here. The potential is evident, but the execution does not rise to meet it.

I'm still baffled by how Soori was insufferable as a comedian and is yet somehow sincere and naturalistic as a lead actor. Only his second movie in the lead following Vetrimaran's underrated "Viduthalai" last year, Soori delivers an impressive showcase of range and character in this gripping tale of family, loyalty, greed and jealousy.

R. S. Durai Senthilkumar's "Garudan" might not be a very pretty entry in the list of good Tamil movies this year, but it's effective and rich in its complex study of familial relationships. Each character is very well crafted and the way in which they all interact with each other speaks volumes to the amount of care the writers had towards telling an effective story. Sure, there are times when it could be a tad predictable, but it's never too much to be distracting. There's as much action and as much layers underneath said action to make the movie as entertaining as it is emotional. Where this movie shines the most is where it draws the line, as it consistently skirts the line of excessiveness without ever crossing into it. It's aware of its own scope and does well enough to stick within it, making any slip up (which of course there are many of) forgivable.

It's not a movie I went into expecting anything, but walked out of it pretty satisfied with what I watched. It's very worth your time and I would happily recommend you check it out!
