There are multiple movies with the title "Garuda", so I'll provide reviews for different versions.

Rudhra Garuda Purana (2025) - Kannada Movie

• *Rating*: 2.5/5
• *Verdict*: A middling film with potential, but the execution falters. Rishi's earnest performance is not enough to save the movie.

• *Highlights*: The premise of a decommissioned bus at the center of a missing person's case is interesting.

• *Lowlights*: The motivation of the perpetrator becomes apparent too early, and the climax lacks a satisfying payoff.

Garuda is an intense and engaging action-drama that manages to keep the audience hooked from start to finish. The film, directed with precision and flair, blends patriotism, suspense, and emotion into a gripping narrative. The story revolves around a courageous officer who takes on a high-stakes mission to protect the nation from imminent danger. The plot is fast-paced yet emotionally grounded, ensuring viewers remain invested in every twist.

The lead actor delivers a powerful performance, portraying bravery, determination, and vulnerability in equal measure. His on-screen presence adds weight to the film, making the emotional and action-packed moments equally impactful. The supporting cast is equally commendable, each bringing authenticity to their roles, whether as allies, family members, or antagonists.

Set against a backdrop of geopolitical tension and internal strife, Garuda follows the journey of , an elite special forces officer codenamed "Garuda", who is tasked with leading a covert operation against a rising insurgent threat in the border areas. As the plot unfolds, we learn that this mission is personal-driven by a haunting past, buried secrets, and a betrayal that shakes him to the core.

Interwoven with his military exploits is a subplot involving a journalist (played brilliantly by who is trying to uncover a political conspiracy that may be connected to the very mission Garuda is undertaking.

Kinda good and entertaining one time watchable. Story line is good and making need to improve little much.

What I loved:

• The lead actor's screen presence is electrifying
• BGM and cinematography elevate the intensity of every key moment
• Action sequences are well-executed and thrilling

What could've been better:

• The storyline feels familiar and slightly predictable
• Some emotional scenes didn't land as strongly as expected.
