Madhavan plays G. D. Naidu
Directed by Krishnakumar, ‘GDN’ brings the story of G. D. Naidu to the big screen. R. Madhavan plays the central role of Naidu.‘GDN’ has received a three-star rating from ETimes. The review read, “Director Krishnakumar doesn’t hide the flaws either: the hubris, the abandoned marriage, the admiring visit to Hitler’s Germany. A safer film would have buffed all of it out; he trusts his subject to survive the blemishes. Still, the film never quite settles the question of scale, and it’s hard to blame the makers. Biopics of towering figures arrive with the myth pre-installed; a Gandhi or an Oppenheimer walks in with the audience’s awe already secured, leaving the film the far more interesting job of complicating it. Naidu is important without being iconic, so GDN has to build the legend and sell it in the same sitting.”DISCLAIMER: The box office numbers and the data in this article are compiled from public and industry sources.
