Movie Review: Garudan

‘Garudan’, now available on Amazon Prime, is a Malayalam thriller that unfolds in the wake of a crime. The film promises to be an engaging journey, especially with its intriguing storyline and notable cast.

Midhun Manuel Thomas, the mind behind “Anjaam Paathira”, crafts a script for ‘Garudan’ that is solid and engaging, although it doesn’t reach groundbreaking heights. It maintains a good narrative flow, keeping viewers engaged throughout its duration.

The standout feature of ‘Garudan’ is undoubtedly the combination of Suresh Gopi and Biju Menon. It’s not merely their individual talents that captivate but the synergy they bring to the screen. This dynamic pairing enriches the film beyond its narrative, providing a compelling reason for Malayalam cinema fans to watch.

Arun Varma’s directorial debut in ‘Garudan’ shows potential, but his efforts are somewhat overshadowed by the commanding performances of Suresh Gopi and Biju Menon, along with Midhun’s scriptwriting. While Varma demonstrates competency, ‘Garudan’ may not be the definitive work to judge his directorial prowess. The film industry and audiences may look forward to his next project for a more distinct showcase of his directorial capabilities.
