Review of Guru

Mmmmm wat a heck of movie it was, once again from the guru of directors Mani Ratnam. I know its not a mega hit, just a hit or may be even lesser according to bollywood sources which are nothing but crap accordin to me. Otheriwse how else can u explain mega super duper hits for films of real sub standard quality compared to guru in KKKG, Krishh, Dhoom-2, Don etc. Please gimme a break, these movies are not even 5% of wat Guru is. And Mani is like 100 times better director than karan johar, nikhil advani, farhan akhthar put together. They have loads to learn frm Mani. Just explains the politics in bollywood industry. They just dont wanna another southie there. Already AR Rahman is the best music director, now they cant stand mani being called the best director. Wat makes it best is both are frm my state and boyyy we tamilians shd be real proud of these 2 jewels frm tamilnadu.

Coming back to movie, could mani have done better? I dont think so. Everything was perfect. Dialogues, characterization, cinematography, music, background score etc. Few songs seemed out fo place but u cant do without songs is a fact of life in bollywood or Kollywood. I havent seen a better movie in bollywood fr like long time. This movie was better than yuva fr the message and execution was more subtle. Abhishek accordin to me acted fr the second time in his career after yuva. Aishwarya didnt have much role except climax when she speaks fr abhishek. I am too small to comment on other people in teh movie. They are just god level. Whether it be music, cinematography, choreography, direction, screenplay, story etc.






Then why isnt this movie super duper hit? Well as far as my friends go, all of them loved it except may be climax or ending of the movie. Okk still this shd make huge bucks but unfortunately as shown in teh movie itself, the big players (read yash raj, yash johar etc) dont want a common man frm south to make big in bollywood. They know they will go bankrupt in 5 years time. Such is the politics in bollywood tat mani has to suffer due to it.

Now abt climax, ppl say abhishek shd have been punished. Guysss wake up wake up plzzzz. When will indians realize there are no white and no black people in the world. Everyone is gray. Only the shades of gray vary. One guy cud be darker gray, one guy cud be lighter gray but noone is white or black. Abhishek was medium gray. He wasnt dark gray by any chance. Yes he cheated the govt and made millions of money but who is to blame fr tat. The govt itself which never supports a middle class or lower class and is always obsessed with upper class people then how cud he make big. Again He cheated govt, not people. Infact people made huge money frm him thro stocks. Now when middle class start gettin money, wat shd govt do, close his industry and let everyone suffer. Coz if industry is closed then its not abhishek who loses money, its all his share holders which includes countless middle class families. Rather govt fined him like 63 lakhs crores i suppose and let him free. Amazin decision and three hurrays to abhi fr convincin the judge with his 4.5 mins speech. Again 0.5 mins profit.






Basically I loved this characterof abhishek, wat india really need is 1000's of abhishek whoc dont make profit only fr them but fr lakhs of ppl trustin him. Its amazing character. Ppl say he cheated he cheated, who doesnt. When ur mom said sleep otherwise some ghost will come and eat u, she was cheatin u, when ur boss said wait two more months u will get promotion, he was cheatin u. When politician said i will give roti kapda makaan he was cheatin voters. When Abhisheksaid he will make profit to his shareholders, he didnt cheat. He didnt smuggle heroin or ganja, he didnt kill people at his will, he didnt bribe a honest person. Infact till end he respected his godfather mithun. Awesome.

Yaa I know there is an analogy in this movieto a real character which mani is known to hide as ever. Like he did with his tamil movie iruvar. Wateva it doesnt matter.As they say in hindi song. Samajne wale samaj rahe hai, jo na samje woh anari hai. Thus I sign off with this hindi song, see u soon.
