Guru!



I watched this movie (the tamil version!) a couple of days back and really enjoyed it. The movie is inspired by the Business Tycoon, Dhirubhai Ambani's life and has been well scripted by Maniratnam. IMHO, Abhishek dazzled as Gurukant while Rai (as Sujata) seems to have lost her charm (???). Madhavan and Vidya Balan are also in the starcast and have done neatly. Mithun Chakraborty has made a definite comeback for the meaty role he's done in the movie as Nanaji. The songs were awesome (Rahman & Hindi, the chemistry works a lot) but the belly dance number by Mallika Sherawat was not warranted from some like Maniratnam despite that adding the flavour of Turkey / Middle East.

A serious and an inspiring movie!
