Movie Review: Amigo Garage

One day due to a street altercation with a rowdy, Guru, Rudhra lands up in the cross hairs of the rowdy who seeks revenge for the insult.
Due a series of events in this cat and mouse game of revenge, Rudhra slowly gets sucked into a life of crime with drugs adding to the deadly concotion.
In the midst of this, he falls in love with Tamizh and the duo decide to her married. But one day when she sees a murder of his friend right in front of her eyes, she rethinks her decision.
In the meantime, Rudhra continues in his journey of murder, drugs and mayhem. His enemies are still at large. What happens to Rudhra? Does his love survive the circumstances of his new life of crime?
The film seeks to highlight the effect of bad company and drugs on innocent youth and how a normal youngster's life can change for the worse.
The aim seems noble but the story seems a tad dated in its treatment, despite Master Mahendran's best efforts to prop up the film. The talented actor, somehow doesn't give the vibe of a criminal. However he leaves a mark in the action scenes, with his credible and powerful body language.
The romance portions though brief are handled adequately well. The supporting cast does a good job.
Amigo Garage, convey a social message about making the right choices in life at the climax.
