This movie is a thrilling ride that delivers goosebumps, nerve-wracking moments, and plenty of suspense. The trailer alone convinced me to watch it. Soori, you proved that anyone can be a hero when given the right opportunities. Your performance was fantastic, and I was captivated by every scene.
Sasikumar, kudos to you for allowing Soori to shine by giving him 60% of the heroic action space, and he truly delivered. This is a super satisfying movie that everyone should see in theaters. Don't underestimate it.
The entire Garudan team excelled in their roles, showcasing remarkable talent. Well done, everyone!

A corrupt minister eyes for grabbing an unclaimed land dedicated to a temple. He plans to steal the original land documents kept at a bank's safe locker. Meanwhile Inspector Muthuvel is tasked to gather all the information about Karuna, Aadhi and Karuna's loyalist Sokkan, as these three are the main hurdle for the minister. The main root cause for all problems - land, money and women. These causes rift between Karuna and Aadhi whereas Sokkan getting caught in between. His loyalty comes at a hefty price as the rift leads to betrayal and murder. How Sokkan rushes karma over the real culprits while protecting the victims, forms rest of the story.
This rural based story involving a temple's land being a main dispute has a decent premise but the screenplay falters big time. The attempt at narrating this story's conflict through land, money and woman suffers heavily from generic writing right from the beginning. We have a bunch of template baddies and to make it worse, the good ones too are one toned. Aadhi is righteous with anger issues, Karuna is the heir from once a rich family and Sokkan is loyal in an unbearable way. The pace is uneven throughout and the director resorts to unnecessary violence. The half baked love story doesn't help either. In the attempt to glorify Soori as Sokkan and Sasikumar as Aadhi, the scenes remain outdated.

RECOMMENDED
The movie is extraordinary in the first half and the interval block is so thrilling to close as "Naadodigal" one interval block.... The character and story development was fantastic.
Liked the lead trio characters most and Soori's silence and "non-stop" dialogs to reveal the truths are ultimate.
The second half also good, but the freshness in the first half was missing.
Too much of violence also little bit minus. And the after credit scene is 80's cinema cliche.
The overall screenplay and cast makes the movie as a worth watch in big screen.

This film ambitiously tackles three significant issues that affect the human experience in the countryside, presenting them in a raw and unfiltered manner. However, it falls short in key areas of storytelling, editing, and screenplay, which are crucial for a compelling narrative.
The strength of the story and the actors' performances are engaging, with each actor striving to deliver their best. Yet, the film often breaks immersion, pointing out its own highlights rather than letting the viewer discover them organically. This is somewhat forgivable considering the involvement of upcoming actors, where certain faults can be overlooked.
Despite its shortcomings, the film manages to be an average watch. The fulfillment one seeks from a complete cinematic experience is not fully realized here. The potential is evident, but the execution does not rise to meet it.
