The Perfect Blend of Mythology and Modern Drama

First off, let’s talk about the name. Garuda Gamana Vrishabha Vahana—doesn’t that title just scream epic?

This ancient lore is cleverly intertwined with a modern tale that explores the complexities of power, rivalry, and friendship. Without giving too much away, think of it as...

Bringing the divine Hindu Trinity of Vishnu, Shiva and Brahma into an organized crime setting in Mangalore, “Garuda Gamana Vrishabha Vahana” is essentially the story of two brotherly friends who were polar opposites and the chaos they brought into the area.

Where to watch

The movie begins by presenting one of the two, Hari who was born and raised in Mangaladevi, with his impact in the local society being quite evident from his interactions with the police and the reactions of the people around him. The story then turns to Shiva, through an extensive flashback that shows how he was discovered as a kid in a bag, injured, half-dead, and in evident shock. After begging in the streets for some time, he was taken in by Hari’s mother, and the two grew up as brothers. However, it soon became evident that Shiva was an ultraviolent sociopath, something that fully manifested during their youth days,...

ReviewRaj B Shetty plunges headlong into his titular character of Toby, but he also becomes a bit of a control freak while doing so, telling us, the viewer, how to feel about every dramatic moment.Raj B Shetty as TobyWith Toby, it seems evident that Raj B Shetty is yet to get over Shiva, the character he played with great ferocity in Garuda Gamana Vrishabha Vahana.

It is as though he wants us to stop celebrating male...
