Been there, done that – Just back from the First Day First Show of Guru @ PVR, Juhu, Mumbai. (For those of you who live around Andheri, Juhu and Versova; here’s a tidbit – The day shows on weekdays cost you just Rs 50/- :) )
If there has been any proof needed to show that the Indian Film Industry has come of age and has portrayed a variety of themes over the last two years, then GURU is another arrow in the armour! The film is excellent in all aspects – the ‘theme’, the picturesque cinematography, the sequencing, the character mix, the engaging dialogues, the snuggest background score, the soothing songs and just about everything!
Coming to the performances, I would give a standing applaud to Abhishek Bachchan – I just haven’t seen such an impeccable performance from him before! Aishwarya Rai has another feather in the cap to be proud of; while Mithunda, Madhavan and Vidya Balan have proved their merit once more.
Just to give a feel of the movie- if you have liked reading Paulo Coelho’s ‘The Alchemist’, you will definitely appreciate this movie. To conclude, hats off to Mani Ratnam, the director, who always seems to do something different and step up the curve. I noticed that the credits were doled out in a way out of the ordinary. Well, this was no doubt just an appetizer:)

Very nice review dude. Now i am really curious to see the movie.
Thanks Ashu..yeah, its definitely worth watching Guru:)
You are absolutely right about the progress of hindi movies. Just look at the variety of movies which were produced last year - MunnaBhai, BluffMaster, Dhoom, Fanaa ..
I really think bollywood has grown up beyond dance-around-tree sequence. Cheers
