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.
