Gurumurthy

Gurumurthy’s filmography is honestly kind of all over the place, but in a good way. You’ve got “Naani” from 2016, which—if you’ve seen it—dives hard into some emotional territory. It’s not your run-of-the-mill drama, either; there’s actual depth, and you end up rooting for characters you didn’t think you’d care about. Fast-forward to “Ugravatara” in 2024, and things get wild. We're talking about a movie that grabs myth and modernity, tosses them in a blender, and hits frappe. It’s got grit, big visuals, and that slightly off-kilter feeling that makes you keep watching, even when you think you know where it’s going (spoiler: you probably don’t). But then there’s “Oru Vadakkan Veeragatha” from way back in 1989. Classic. If you haven’t watched it, just know it’s one of those epic tales where every frame is soaked in history and drama—swords, betrayal, loyalty, the whole nine yards. It’s not just about the action, though. The writing? Sharp. The performances? Legendary. Gurumurthy—whether in front of the camera or behind—brings this almost stubborn authenticity to the table. You can tell he’s not here for the cheap applause, but for stories that stick with you. Basically, he’s not afraid to switch lanes, and somehow, it all works.
