Story -:
In the early 1900s, a young cotton farmer in a village in Coimbatore becomes interested in a motorcycle used by a British officer. He sells the saved money, wife’s (Sheela) jewelry etc. and buys the same motorcycle from him.
GDN takes it apart and learns its entire mechanism. GDN (Madhavan) rises as an entrepreneur with the mechanical knowledge he gets because of this, he invents small tools for daily needs by his own efforts and keeps them. In this situation, the British officer who does not like the development of GDN who makes inventions and businesses in a way that is useful to people, builds false accusations against him and uses Income Tax Officer Krishnan (Jayaram) for it.
The story of ‘GDN’ directed by Krishnakumar Ramkumar is how GDN overcomes all these in the end.

Movie Review -:
Madhavan has brought close to G.D. Naidu’s middle life as his immense knowledge, light mindedness, love for his wife, unwavering determination in spite of weakness. Madhavan’s experience comes in handy where problems are dealt with coolly. But the artificiality in the acting for old age is jarring and disturbing.
DJ Arunachalam has done what is needed for GDN’s young age, like his interest in science, his interesting mischievousness and occasional playfulness. Jayaram makes the flat character of unyielding honesty and fighting to defeat GDN enjoyable with his experience and special body language and strengthens the second half.
Sathyaraj, who is electrifying in all the scenes that come his way be it mimicry, satire, jokes, emotion, holds the shaky places throughout the film.
Tushara, Karunakaran, Muralitharan, Priyamani stand in the spotlight, while Vinay, Thambi Ramaiah, Sheela, Aditi Balan, Mohan Raman, Ramesh Tilak etc. come and go in the supporting characters crowd. Cinematographer Arvind Kamalanathan has brought the greenery of Coimbatore villages and the glow of electric lamps of that time as close as possible to the feel of a ‘bio-pic’ film. Although hijacked, the artificiality that pops up here and there is disturbing.Bijith Bala’s cinematography fails to provide calmness and pace where needed.
Composed by Govind Vasantha, the song ‘Manasa Phochaye’ is soul-stirring. Govind has fueled emotional moments with background music!
Cyril Kuruvilla’s product design has worked from scene to scene, from the factories, houses, buses, GDN’s inventions, and pre-modern car shapes. But artificiality bloats in graphics that rely mostly on A.I.
Director Krishnakumar Ramkumar has filmed only the important pages of the life history of Indian scientist and industrialist G. Duraisamy Naidu.
The film begins with a consultation meeting to include GDN’s biography in the curriculum for Tamil Nadu schools in the 1970s, and begins to narrate from his youth. GDN’s love, family, and scientific interest move slowly and with little emotion at the beginning. But, the dramatic making and not enough authentic emotion scenes turn the audience away from the film.
After Madhavan’s arrival there is excitement and excitement. The screenplay keeps the interest to a certain extent until the break as new problems come and he overcomes them.
The one-line of the second half of ‘Jayaram, an honest officer who only follows the law vs GTN, who follows the law and the mind honestly’, starts with pressure. If it is interesting for both of them to clash through Satyaraj without face to face, their plans have become the motor of the screenplay. The film, which also talks about the poor taxation policy of the British era, once again puts its foot on the emotion meter and falters with stress-free scenes.
Instead of focusing on GDN’s unique qualities, the character is painted as a typical good and smart guy. There is not enough information in the scenes to explain his political positions at the national and state level. Although the climax twists try to solve these shortcomings to some extent, talking about ‘caste inequalities and poor education system came in the Indian society only after the arrival of the British’ is not a view of GTN but a generally imposed voice.
While it is a commendable attempt to portray the exploits of GDN, one of the prominent personalities of independent India, ‘GDN’ fails to present them on screen in an interesting and modern way.
This Is My Personal Review So Please Go and Watch The Movie In Theatres Only.
