Storyline:

Guru Kant Desai, simply called as Guru [Abhishek Bachchan], belonged to a small village called Idhar situated in Gujarat who strives for great success, against the more conservative wishes of his father and many that he meets. He starts his journey from a modest village in Gujarat to Bombay and makes his dreams come true by being a business tycoon. Nanaji(mithun chakarborhy) who runs the newspaper becomes the well wisher to gurubhai later journalist Shyam saxena(Madhavan) and Nanaji expose the irregularities in functioning style of guru. As usual Guru fights for his shareholders against the odds.


RE –el –VIEW:

This time mani ratnam has come out with a biopic( but mani says no) under his own production house with elite group of technicians. The movie starts in idhar village where gurubhai decides to go for a job in turkey.
Offcourse there is a song in turkey because this is the first time mani had decided to shoot in abroad, for his rememberence he had got the song which is an Hot item number(yeah Mallikaah) . Then the movie travels with aishwariya’s introduction then to Bombay where gurubhai steps into his dream of becoming business tycoon with aishwariya’s dowry as capital investment. No movie can be without villains here villain in the form of gurubhai’s well wisher mithun and journalist as madhavan. At the end hero wins the race by passing through the hurdles.


This is exactly the mani ratnam film who shows to the audience the quality in film making. There are different categories of film which makes everyone to enjoy but only some films makes u feel proud ,satisfied and realise that this is worth for ticket money, Guru belongs to this category. The mani has done the movie in his own style with his passion for cinema. This movie definetly brings out new subject that is not seen in Indian cinema as core subject. Guru makes u feel proud and motivates for an aspiring entrepreneur. Whenever gurubhai says “Banna chahte ho Hindusthan ki sabse badi company” and "Banna chahte ho DUNIYA ki sabse badi company" really motivating and our cinema needs this type of movies. Mani has not made great film because of few loop holes in screenplay but he has tried his best to give a gud film. Abhishek bachchan has done pretty decent job in this movie, mani has worked a lot in his character to show the changes in abhishek’s body language in ages. Even abhishek bachchan would be satisfied with his performance because of hard work that he has put in this character(extra 30 kilos in weight). Aishwariya rai was asked to accompany abhishek , no work was given to her. Madhavan looks good by shedding his fats and same vidyabalan has no job in this movie she has been asked to sit in wheelchair. Mani found difficulty in placing songs ,in first 20 minutes there are two songs. First part of the movie is good but second part fails to meet with pace. Climax is good

After ‘Bombay’ film mani has joined hands with rajiv menon and rajiv has done excellent job in this movie. Rajiv has brought different color tones in this movie. Art direction is excellent ,streets of Bombay were good. Here comes another hero A R Rahman, he has done the execellent work in re-recording and in songs. AR has given melody ,few foot tapping numbers and the song “jaage hain” is great .AR again proves to everyone that he is the master.


“Worth watching”…never miss this film
