Rudra Garuda Purana Movie storyline: The story delves into the mystery of a bus accident that occurred 25 years ago, claiming the lives of all its passengers. In a shocking twist, the same bus and its passengers reappear years later, sparking an intense investigation. The bus named "17A Kaveri Express" forms the center character in the plot.

Rudra Garuda Purana Movie Review: Everyone loves a good whodunit, especially when it’s infused with mythology and a touch of horror and thriller elements. Rudra Garuda Purana is a partly engaging crime thriller that showcases Rishi in top form as he navigates the challenges of a complex and mysterious investigation. The screenplay strikes a balance between intrigue and quirky moments, with a sprinkling of horror, but a tighter narrative with fewer subplots could have significantly elevated the film.

The story begins with state home minister Devi Shetty (Vinod Alva) embroiled in a political coup when his only son, Manu, mysteriously goes missing. Adding to the tension, a letter containing verses from the Garuda Purana, accompanied by a stone, is thrown at Shetty’s glass window. A terrified Shetty discreetly tasks the police with locating his son, setting the stage for the investigation. Enter police officer Rudra (Rishi), who uncovers a chilling connection between Manu's kidnapping and a bus that vanished 25 years ago in a tragic accident. How does a long-destroyed bus resurface in the present? Is the case driven by human motives or supernatural forces? And is Manu truly kidnapped, or is he caught in a bizarre time loop?

Rishi delivers a stellar performance as Rudra, seamlessly balancing his role as a sharp, focused cop unraveling mysteries and as a 30-year-old man seeking love in everyday moments. His commanding screen presence, especially in the action sequences, showcases a new dimension to his acting repertoire. Despite a slow start, the movie finds its rhythm as it progresses, with the final third delivering a satisfying payoff. The intermission scene hints at a potential horror angle, but it is later resolved with a logical explanation.

Supporting actors Vinod Alva, Avinash, K.S. Sridhar, and Girish Shivanna lend depth to the narrative with their seasoned performances. Priyanka is promising but has limited involvement in the main storyline. Ultimately, the movie heavily relies on Rishi’s shoulders, and he rises to the occasion, carrying it forward with finesse.

The film shines brightest when it’s in full thriller mode, with Rudra’s investigation unfolding through clever mind games, gripping chase sequences, and intense action. While some scenes lean toward a larger-than-life portrayal, sharp editing and KP’s pulsating background score keep the adrenaline flowing. The pre-interval sequence is particularly engaging and sets the stage for an improved second half.

Director K.S. Nandeesh stays true to his promise, delivering a mix of action, thriller, mystery, horror, and elements of black magic without straying from the central plot. Hardcore thriller fans might feel slightly underwhelmed by certain aspects, but the film still offers enough chills and thrills to keep audiences hooked.

Rudra Garuda Purana had the potential to be a more impactful thriller, especially given Rishi’s commendable performance. Despite its shortcomings, it remains an entertaining watch, packed with riveting moments and a unique presentation. A theatre visit this weekend is well worth it for fans of suspense and mystery.
