All he wants is money. For him Money talks. He would not hesitate to earn a quick buck in a jiffy. Even if it involves compromising on his conscience. He is very opportunistic, waiting for the right time to come along to pounce on it. It is what first came to my mind about this Johny Anthony`s latest ``Inspector Garud``. Hold on we don`t want to kill your interest. The Film has good production values, apt family sentiments and aesthetically shot song sequences compared to everyday Mallu standards. To your surprise it`s a comic film churned out for keeping you thoroughly entertained. The film is a must for every Dileep`s vast fan following. The film opens with terrorist trying to squeeze in unlawful shipments into Chennai shores. What unfolds further is a treat to watch. The scenes between Inspector Garud and Sethu lakshmi is very intriguing especially when Garud harbours the intentions of marrying her. But she being the collector, he needs very strong reason to marry her even against her wish. How he finds that reason where he makes her marry him is shot with laudable craft. What results is a good comic film. All in all a good entertainer.
