Movie Review: “Amigo Garage”
Plot Summary:
“Amigo Garage” revolves around Rudhra (played by ‘Master’ Mahendran) and his deep bond with his two school buddies. Despite warnings from their parents, they befriend Anand, the owner of Amigo Garage, who also deals with ganja on the side. As they grow up, Rudhra gets entangled in a dangerous game of revenge with a rowdy named Guru after a street altercation. This leads him into a life of crime involving drugs and violence. Amidst all this, Rudhra falls in love with Tamizh, but her perception changes when she witnesses a murder involving Rudhra’s friend.
