Vijay Lohith

Rudra Garuda Purana (2025) is one of those films that just grabs you by the collar and yanks you into its world, no apologies. Vijay Lohith heads up a cast that dives deep into the twisted folklore and supernatural chaos of ancient India, but not in the “dusty textbook” kind of way—more like if your nightmares had a field day with mythology. The story latches onto the life of Rudra, a dude who’s basically caught between realms, thanks to a family curse that’s way older than your grandma’s grandma. The film kicks off with Rudra stumbling into secrets he’s not supposed to know—secret societies, forbidden rituals, creepy old texts that probably smell like moldy sandalwood. There’s this whole thing with Garuda, not just a bird but this wild cosmic force, weaving through the plot like a fever dream. Every time Rudra tries to break free, the universe seems to throw another puzzle at him—think cryptic symbols, shadowy enemies, and some seriously trippy visions. Honestly, the visuals are insane. You get the sense that every frame is loaded with hidden meanings, and the sound design? Goosebumps. Lohith brings a raw edge to Rudra, making his struggles feel gut-wrenchingly real—none of that plastic hero nonsense. It’s not just about good versus evil, either; it’s about legacy, the messiness of faith, and the weight of secrets you never asked for. Expect a wild ride—spiritual, psychological, and just a little bit terrifying.
