Garudan Storyline

In this gripping tale, Harish, a seasoned police officer on the cusp of retirement, finds himself pulled back into a murder case he thought he’d solved. The catalyst? The accused, Nishanth, who, having earned a law degree behind bars, is determined to prove his innocence. A battle of wits ensues, with Harish reopening the case he’d closed to safeguard his hard-earned reputation and pension. Just when it seems Nishanth has the upper hand, he unwittingly exposes his own dark secrets, falling into a trap masterfully set by Harish. The tables turn dramatically, holding Nishanth accountable not only for the grievous attacks but for a string of other crimes as well.—Chori Mathu

Garudan Movie Reviews

A mind blowing investigative thriller that is worth a rewatch

Garudan is a new movie directed by debutant Arun Varma. Written by Midhun Manuel Thomas of Anjaam Paathira fame with Suresh Gopi and Biju Menon playing the lead characters. Jakes Bejoy scored the music. Simply put, Garudan is a satisfying crime investigative thriller with some twists that I have never seen before.

To delve into the story, a college student is raped on a rainy night in an under construction building. The culprit barely gets a glimpse by a drunk construction worker under the flash of a lightning. However, the police fail to nab the culprit and seven months pass by. Finally, the police get a breakthrough and make an arrest. The court sentences the culprit to life imprisonment. After 7 years, the culprit is released early from jail due to good behavior. In the meantime, the police who handled the case is getting ready for retirement. The culprit files a petition in court to reopen the case to prove his innocence after serving his sentence. Why did he do that? Was he really the culprit? If not, who was? What happens to the police who handles the case and his retirement? Will the system ever find out who the real culprit was? All of these questions will be answered in the remainder of the movie.

Suresh Gopi played the cop who investigates the case and Biju Menon plays a college professor who has a PhD in finance and who gets blamed and goes to jail for rape. They are supported by Siddique, Abhirami and others. This is a Biju Menon show through and through. Suresh Gopi is at his usual best as playing a cop is nothing new to him. But it is Biju Menon who steals the show with his act.

Jakes Bejoy scored the music for this movie and it is apt and feels organic and contributes to the suspense. It is good.

The real star of the movie is Midhun Manuel Thomas. The screenplay keeps you engaged from start to finish. You become part of the narrative and you know you have a winner when this happens. The first half ends on a high and you feel the energy is dipping in the second half. However all of this is justified in act 3 which is about 20 minutes long. The pay off is worth the wait. You will probably guess who the real culprit is but you will convince yourself you are wrong because of the emotional connection to the characters. And yet something happens in the end that you couldn’t have guessed.

Very rarely do you feel like rewatching a suspense thriller because you know what the suspense is. This is one of those movies. I will gladly rewatch Garudan.

Movie Analysis

First comes the Performance, Suresh Gopi & Biju Menon. When the film kicks off & comes into the pace , I am able to witness a low phase of SG character & Biju Menon’s character steals the lamp light in 1 st half.

I was worried whether it would be like his earlier movie Pappan but the second half could see the performance of SG especially the climax where we saw the SG we want & that’s why he is the SUPER STAR OF MOLLYWOOD.

Biju Menon nailed the performance. When a script like this gets to this actor we just love to see his performance, that’s what he delivers.

Jakes Bejoy BGM had raised the film viewing quality. The perfectly blended english song with the situation provides a quality viewing experience.

Ajay David Kachappilly cinematography was good. Focus shots of the hand of SG thereby creating a sequence important was a piece of great work.

Night sequences had perfectly colorized thereby leaving no stone of artificiality.

Script Writer Midhun Manuel Thomas core point is similar to his previous movie “. Anjaam Pathira” ( The 5th Midnight ) but the screenplay driving is excellent.

Arun Varma’s debut directorial movie but for me it was never like that as he knows how to present each character well and it’s being beautifully executed.

Overall Garudan delivers a Must Watch Compulsory Theatrical Watch Experience.

crisp and well written decent crime investigation

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.
