Gurumoorthi (2022) is a Tamil-language action thriller directed by K.P. Tanasekar. The film follows Inspector Gurumoorthi (played by Natty), a principled police officer in Ooty, who is tasked with recovering a suitcase containing ₹5 crore in unaccounted cash stolen from businessman Kandasamy (Ramki). As Gurumoorthi delves into the case, he encounters a web of individuals, including petty criminals, bar dancers, and even someone close to him, all entangled in the pursuit of the missing money. The narrative unfolds through a series of events where the suitcase changes hands multiple times, adding layers of complexity to the investigation.

Despite its intriguing premise, Gurumoorthi received mixed reviews. Critics pointed out issues with the screenplay’s coherence and pacing, noting that the film’s potential was undermined by a lack of narrative focus. While Natty’s portrayal of the steadfast inspector was commended, the film’s supporting characters and subplots were seen as underdeveloped. The cinematography by Devaraj and music by Sathya Dev Udhayasankar were acknowledged, though they couldn’t fully compensate for the film’s shortcomings. Overall, Gurumoorthi presents a story with promise but falls short in execution.
