first of all i wasen't expecting abhishek bachchan to give any mass appeal performance.because of his previous performances.it is said that yuva was his first hit movie.but i say this is his first big major hit movie and going to be his finnest performance movie ever.yuva had Ajay,Kareena,Esha so it can't be said that it showcased his performance from others.it was a great mixture of performance by good actors one of which is abhishek.today when i saw this movie i saw a real actor performing damn character to die for.abhishek can now say that he is indeed a good actor and not a great actors son.Mithun da, Aishwarya,Madhavan and Vidya Balan were extra-ordinary too. All and All its one of the finnest movie that i have ever come across.Truely Mani Ratnam is a champion film maker.

Mind blowing performances,awesome technical brilliance here it is GURU for you....most awaited flick in recent times. Abhishek Bachhan : He will stun you with his skyhigh performance.His best till date is said to be Sarkar and with this he will make you forget that.what an performance,kudos to Bachhan Junior.HE will stun you in every frame he is in.His performace was best rated among few best performances in Bollywood. Mithun Chakroborthy : Proved that his selection for the character is right.Very good performance from this veteran actor.His character with different shades completely satisfy you.Especially his performace in climax needs a special mention. Madhavan : 8.5/10 He is damn cool and performed his rloe with lot of ease.He is looking damn handsome and challenge abhishesk in few scenes. Aishwarya Rai : 8/10 Her performance need a special rate.She is good both for looks and performance.Her performance in last 30 mins is awesome.She is not that good in first 20 mins of the movie.She is looking aged,but the same look helped her in second half. Vidyabalan 7.5/10 She is good as usual.But she had no scope to showcase her full talent.But with in the given premises she did it good. Performances by all others are good. screenplay : 8/10 First half is racy.And second half tempo goes down a bit.In fact there are few boring moments in second half.But first half is comparatively better than second half. Photography is damn good.Especially framing and lighting effects and color tints used are good.Good work by Vijay Menon. Music by A R Rahman is already a chart buster.And his BGM is simply the best.He is successful in getting the exact feel throughout with his terrific BGM. Editingby sreekar prasad is good,last 20 mins little exception. Dialogues are apt.and few good dialogues are there in second half and in pre interval episode. This Movie may win critics acclaim for its technical brilliance and lot of awards too. But commercial success will be adoubt. TailPiece : "Mani Ratnam" – Both words mean "gem"."Direction Gem" Mani Ratnam has truly given a gem of a movie, which will become a classic and garner a slew of awards, both national and international.

guru guru guru....I was really excited abt this film for 2 reasons... one cause it is a mani ratnam movie & two it was based on dhirubhai's life...as the movie rolls I was taken aback from the first scene where abhishek is talking to no one standing on the stage n there is rehman's voice singing that line 'jage hai daare...' that was brilliant but as the film starts to wind up in the next two reels when we see jr. bachchan grow up and act all cocky I cant stop and think it is such a miscast... this kind of story requires some one on the caliber of Sanjeev Kumar, but sadly he is dead n we have to settle for abhishek(are u serious)...while his best ever work came from mani's last Yuva...this time around he disappoints so much... i couldn’t sit there n just admire the cinematography which on the contrary was world-class... back to the movie it bores, drags, torture the cine-goer… I was not at all surprised that your reviewer “Taran-who-ever’ gave this movie 4 god damn stars…n calls this mani’s best effort ever are u putting this above ROJA & BOMBAY & DIL SE… get your records straight… and also have the people submitting their reviews too are too smitten with the lead pair and by the looks of it don’t know anything about movies over-all….

Guruji - A man who dares to dream !!! Excellent, awesome, fantastic i have no words to express myself. Mind blowing performance by Abhishek Bachan followed by Aishwarya, Mithun ji, Madhavan, Vidya and others. Once in a bluemoon you come across such movie. Mani Ratnam ji is one in hundred's who shows reality whats happening around, truth, honesty. Music score by A.R Rehman is cool and romantic too specially the Tere Bina... Picturisation of Barso Re is excellent !! Too good more than one's expectation. On the whole the movie is must watch and bad luck for those who miss it out.

just got back from Guru.the theatre was packed.after the movie i got up and turned around and every seat was filled.what can i say about the film?i'm absolutely speechless about what i just saw.what a film.as far as Abhi bhaiyya is concerned,i've become a bigger fan after this film. Story: Gurukant Desai is a working man.he decides he wants to start his own business in polyester.he's just 15 thousand rupees short,so he marries his friends sister for the 25 thousand rupees dowry.business starts and it's going great until Guru bhai's head gets a little too big and he thinks he's the king of the world. everything about this film is perfect.the acting,screenplay,dialogues,direction,music,just everything. memorable scenes: Guru meeting Construction saab on the golf course.note the expressions on abhi bhaiyya's face. Guru meeting Construction saab with Mr. Das on the streets.the dialogue by bhaiyya is amazing.i love it."tha nahin,hai,aur rahega. Gurukant Desai." Guru and Sujata's first meeting on the train.bhaiyya looks a lot like Amitabh in that scene. Guru and Sujata just before Guru has to leave. there's many more but it would be giving too much away. music by AR Rahman is mindblowing.i have much more respect for the music after seeing the film.i had all ready loved Tere Bina,Barso Re,and Aye Harithai but after the film i love every song.lyrics by Gulzar are just magnificent. this is definately Mani sir's best work to date.everything he's done with the film is just too good.he deserves most of the credit for this film.good work Mani sir! performances: Aishwariya has given her best performance to date.granted she doesn't have much to do but she was so convincing and played the part so good. Mithun is a godsend in this film.you can't imagine anyone else in that role. Madhavan was perfect.this is very close to his best performance.what a performance from him.when him and Mani sir connect there's always a great film.be it Alai Payuthey,the tamil Yuva,and now this.what a performance. Vidya was just too good.i loved her performance so much.when she sees Guru for the last time i was in tears.excellent job. and i've saved the best for last. ABHISHEK BACHCHAN AS GURUKANT DESAI!!!! is there anyone better than Abhishek Bachchan?that's all i could think about after seeing this film.forget HIS best performance but for me he surpassed BOSS!!! i knew he was gonna give a good performance but what i got was absolutely mindblowing and the best performance i've seen in a long long time.after seeing Abhishek in Guru it makes me want to become an actor more.the beginning was great.after he says Sapne mat dekho and the way he looks at the camera is so cool.i smiled.there's nothing else you can do on that part.god the conversion from young to old is such a good job.only a talented actor can pull off that role and Abhishek is a talented actor.nobody else could've been Gurukant Desai.Abhishek for me is now truly the best actor and i'm eagerly awaiting his upcoming films.hopefully after this film all his haters will realize how great he is.if you thought he was good in Yuva he's given the best performance of his career and if he doesn't win best actor award for this film then there is something terribly wrong with this industry. all in all this is a wonderful film and it's gonna take a really really great film to surpass this one as best film of the year.forget best film of the year this is the best film in the last 5 years! my rating: simply unratable.it's too too good.

GURU is a fantastic movie in most departments. The acting is great, awesome songs, and good direction. First half is really good, second half drags a bit. Overall,worth a watch especially if you like these kinds of movies. All the actors have given a knockout performance regardless of the role.
