RS Durai Senthilkumar’s ‘Garudan’ has a solid premise, but is let down by utterly convenient screenplay

The film stars Soori, Sasikumar, Unni Mukundan. The writing is so generic that almost nothing stays in mind.

Early on in Garudan, set in the district of Theni, we are told that three things are responsible for most of the issues around us: “mann” (land), “pon” (money), and “penn” (women). “Mann” comes in the form of land that belongs to a temple, and is coveted by a corrupt minister. “Pon” comes in the form of the wealth that is coveted by Karuna (Unni Mukundan), whose family has fallen from riches to rags. As for “Penn”, women come in many forms in this movie. There is a girlfriend, played by Revathy Sarma. There is a devoted wife, played by Sshivada. There is a Muslim who marries a Hindu, and this woman – named Parveen – is played by Brigida Saga. And last but not least, there is Karuna’s wife, played by Roshini Haripriyan. This woman covets a life of power and prestige. She imagined this life when she married Karuna, and when the family falls on hard times, she is filled with rage and resentment.
