Spoilers ahead…
I was never sure what to make of the movie. The easiest thing would be to call it a curious experiment..
In most films, Santhanam is the guy who does the funny lines, the crazy stuff while the others play it straight. In Rathna Kumar’s Gulu Gulu, the others in the cast – Namitha Krishnamurthy, Pradeep Rawat, Mariyam George, and many, many others – are in charge of the funny lines, the crazy stuff. And Santhanam is the straight guy, a man with a heart of gold. He is from… I cannot name the place, because that’s part of the film’s many wild surprises. The other surprise is this writer-director’s choice of this material. Meyaadha Maan was a romantic drama with a dash of comedy, and Aadai was a morality tale. Both films were focused affairs, with a tight group of characters. Gulu Gulu is a complete reversal. There are many characters and many tonalities – from serious drama to Chaplinesque physical and situational comedy – and I was never sure what to make of it. The easiest thing would be to call it a curious experiment.

Somewhere between reading about Battlegrounds Mobile India, the rehashed version of PUBG getting banned in India, and witnessing a literal version of a PUBG fight in the pre-interval scene, I decided to walk out of the movie during the intermission.
Braving the rest of the movie somehow wasn’t worth the risk of catching dinner in time for me. An outlandish reason one may think, but not as outlandish or mind-bogglingly clueless as this movie’s writing choices.
