Garuda Gamana Vrishabha Vahana

This is one of the most 'well-made' movies of 2021, IMO. The Kannada film industry gets a bad rap but content like this goes a long way in showing why you need to 'put some respeck on it'.

The director (who's also written and acted in this movie) is apparently a Martin Scorsese fan and boy has he made a film Scorsese might enjoy from a filmmaking standpoint.

While this is a regular gangster story that doesn't have anything mind-blowing story-wise, the writing, sound design, editing, the several layers, acting & cinematography are amazing. They elevate this gangster-take on Brahma-Vishnu-Shiv to a totally different level.

That 'tiger-dance' sequence in the rain - *slow claps*

While this isn't a movie for everyone, if you enjoy stuff like The Godfather or Scorsese-que content, this might be worth a shot. Also, I lowkey like how easy to understand and follow Kannada is. Hoping to watch more Sandalwood movies.

Garuda Gamana Vrishabha Vahana signifies Raj B Shetty's conceptualization of typical gangster dramas. By comprising the traditional tropes with the essence of mythology; I must admit, Shetty's ideation was nothing short of a courteous attempt. Such metaphorical depiction of Brotherhood, Betrayal and Eradication is something that I have never been a witness of!

What stood out to me the most is its rather unconventional take on Power Dynamics and how methodically it defines the consequences of inherent Obsession and searing Rage. Elucidated through three eclectic personalities; Brahmyaa, Hari and Shiva. One creates, one nourishes and the remaining one annihilates!

These three central figures are interwoven with a rousing narration that does seem to lose its grip in the middle; however, it remained steadfast on its better dispositions until the last possible second. Firmly backed up by a fantastic score and some impeccable performances. Not to mention, Raj B Shetty, who was by and large superior to everybody else!

As a matter of fact; It's not easy for an artist to even out two extensively different conceptions. One, while staying in front of the camera and the other one, while supervising from behind. At any given moment, these two varied opinions can easily cause some issues and hinder the prospects of the final outcome.

Luckily, in this case, that didn't happen. Barring a few insufficiencies, Mr Shetty has shown equal commitment and maturity in both of his positions; thereupon, giving birth to an inimitable tale of authority and vengeance.

GGVV is a Raw Action movie which does not have any hype for the Heros but still makes you feel the intense of the Characters. Two lead roles will make you get into the story. All the actors have played their role brilliantly. Special Applause for Raj Shetty, Rishab Shetty and Gopal Krishna Deshpande. Raj Shetty has redefined the Mass Genre. Acting, Direction and Story, Pure Class. Simple story but makes you get into the movie and be in the Hangover. The Rich Tulunadu Culture is shown magnificently. Not to forget the excellent BGM. These type of movies are taking Kannada industry to a new direction. Don't miss this in Theatres.

A movie which needs to be appreciated for its various dimensions.

It begins with a very beautifully crafted english song which captures the essence of the characters "Shiva" and "Hari", they are synergistically very powerful but bring out the worst in each other.

5 mins into the movie you would see how graphic and realistic this movie would be. Be it the costume, language or acting, its all very natural.

The narration could have been better and in a few places you would find needless slow motion scenes. But having said that, Mangaluru gets a powerful scene setting as the beautiful city, its beautiful temples and the amazing people have been depicted well in the context of the movie. There is so much more but Kudos.

Last but not the least, "Hulivesha super marre"!!!

Raj B Shetty, Rishabh Shetty and your entire crew deserves standing ovation!!!!

Garuda Gamana Vrishabha Vahana

A precious take ! First of all Kudos to Raj B Shetty for directing, writing and acting in this. Its not a normal gang war crime movie, it flows into Friendship, Betrayal, Characters of the 2 Main protagonists - Shiva and Hari.

Music and BGM is awesome and thrilling It doesnt glorify the 2 main leads as Hero's but portray them as villains. We dont feel sympathy to their actions but we feel for their bond & history.

Well acted, written, directed movie.

Parmvah Studios is a science lab which makes explosive flicks like these. Hope to see more thrilling films.
