The little moments get lost in an overwritten, cloying drama.
Maharaja

A flawed yet gripping human drama in which storytelling is the hero.
Indian 2: Zero Tolerance
2024 · Film Companion
Indian was by no means a perfect film. It was still a film drenched in sexual innuendos — a marker of films from a particular time. But it still had just the right amount of rigour that made us root for its far-fetched world where a timeworn veteran could kick a man or two.
Garudan

In the end, it all comes down to how this director re-introduces a new kind of hero. Jithu Madhavan crowned Fahadh Faasil a modern mass king in by fully surrendering to the actor’s wild yet delicate side. Durai Senthilkumar tries to do the same with Soori. While it might not be as effective in its writing, Soori quite easily makes up for it in Garudan.
