GURU by Mani Ratnam is an absorbing tale of self confidence and evoving maturity and growth in a personality. The film is a cracker, specially the first half and the climax. AB's Baby delivers undoubtedly an excellent, outstanding and knock out performance. He must be easily a front runner for the National Award for sure. Surprise..Surprise..ASH looked brilliantly authentic and not plastic as usual. The chemistry between the lead pair sparkled and flourished with every scene passing by...! Mithun Daa was mindblowing. Vidya Balan's role was unclear and Madhavan was competent. Overall, a cracker of a movie...!Must watch for sure...! A multiplex blockbuster for sure...!

THIS IS A CRAP MOVIE. ABISHEK IS SO CRAP. ALL THE DIRECTORS HAVE WORKED SO HARD ON HIM AND TRYING TO LEARN HIM ACTING, HE IS LIKE GETTING SO MUCH DHANDE, EVEN THOUGH HE IS BAD.

GURU hmmm, when i saw the first look of the movie in indiafm.com, i knew it that it will be one of the best movie of mani & abhishek's career. all credit gose to,,, ABHISHEK BACHCHAN ,,,for his legendary acting in this movie. MANI,,,, he's one of the best technical director as we all agree. A.R.Rehman,,, i cannot find the right words for this kinda creative legend. Ash,,, she's beautiful hey guyz let me tell u something,,,,few of us dont like ABHISHEK BACHCHAN (ABHISHEK I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT MY SELF) Becoz of his unlucky start just like his father, and now we take him personal just becoz of useless ego becoz we dont want to change our comments,,, naahhhhh please be prictical ,,,, abhishek is a gift to this industry,,, apriciate him if he performs Xtra ordinary just like he id iin GURU, Sarkar, Yuva. don not compare his acting with Amitabh Bachchan,,, i'm not saying that he's not a nont actor as amit G is inifact as ram gopal verma said after sarkar,,, that "Abhishek is better actor then Amitabh" i'm not writing this becoz ,,, i look like abhishek bachchan or i like him alot after shahrukh. i'm just being NEUTRAL.

I wasnt really intent on watching this movie initially, but after i watched it my god was i impressed. This movie is one of the best movies i have seen in a long time. I am a huge fan of Shah Rukh Khan, but frankly speaking the lead actor Abhishek Bhachan has done wonders and has outdone all the Khans, he reminded me of Kamal Hassan in his potrayal of GuruKanth Desai. This movie is recommended for everyone. Please watch it. Its a once in a lifetime movie !!!!!

I think the film is a big let down. And one wonders how come it is getting such misleading reviews. Abhishek is ok.......... but nothing earth shattering in such a author backed role. the film is slow and very boring at timeszzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz..... ash is her usual beautiful and plastic. with a budget like that anyway it had to look good. i will give it a thumbs down specially because it is so falsely hyped

MANI'S BEST SO FAR....loosely-based on the life of dhirubhaiambani GURU traces the life of gurukant desai from childhood to turkey and on becoming the biggest businessman of the year.Ahishek bachchan delivers a powerful performance,performance of a lifetime in GURU.HE WILL SWEEP AWAY ALL THE AWARDS.The best thing about abhishek is that when you are watching him you are not watching a.b junior but gurukant desai.AISHWARYA RAI is fantastic in the emotional sequences and dances so well in the introduction song.for the first time malika sherawat is lloking stunningly good,mithunda;s real comeback is guru and he rocks.mani deserve full credit for finetuning this brilliant actor.though a cameo,vidya balan shows that she is here to stay and mark my word aish,rani and preity have serious competition.mani ratnam direction is superb and it gives GURU his magical touch.the film has amazing cinematography,photography and editing. to sum up,mani ratnam is above himself and irrespective of boxoffice,GURU is a classic and reference point in the history of indian cinema.abhishek bachchan has immortalised GURU..its a milestone in the career of this young actor..congratulations GURUKANT DESAI

You can either hate a mani Ratnam movie, or love it, but you cannot deny that the perfomances that he extracts from each of his actor is nothing short of outstanding..GURU is a movie dependent on the performance of the main protagonist..unless the audience emphatise with Guru, you wont be able to identify with the movie..however, Abhishek with an award worthy performance manages to grasp you in his hands and take you through all his trials and tribulations..you laugh when he laughs, you cry when he cries, you feel angry when someone tries to take him down..such is the impact that Abhishek aka Gurubhai generates thorughout the movie,..and that is where the movie suceeds to a great level..hats off to Mr.Mani Ratnam for extracting the best out of Abhishek..definitely a golden feather in his career.. Abhishek Bachan has infused so much life into his character that you start thinking that he is actually a business tycoon ! His playful interactions with his mother, his respect towards his father and a restrained revolt against him, his optimist attitude towards setting up his "bijness", his love towards his wife and his relationship with his god daughter, and his revolt at the system..everything has been etched out so beautifully that even the subtlest of emotions have been brought out by Junior B in a way that lingers with you long after you have come out of the theatre..Abhishek has got under the skin of the character Gurubhai so much so that you begin to think that Guru really exists ! His body language over the time that charts his life from 15 - 70 also changes accordingly, from a young and restless youngster to a confirdent young entrepreuner to a more subdued and relaxed achiever..the dialogues that he speaks, almost every sentence ends with a punchline, that you have to think "well said" !! The best scenes among the best ones (there are no bad scenes really!) are the one when he comes back from Turkey and talks to his father regarding his intentions of setting up his own business, the scene where he throws the blank cheque, his anger that follows, his scene with his wife on the swing talking about their future, his scene in the hospital with his friend where he breaks down, his addressing of his employees first on a big stage and then later in the rain, the scene where Mithun calls him home and decides to expose him, the scene in the train with Ash, his final revolt in court and many many more...GURU is definitely an Abhishek film all the way and he carries it on his shoulders ever so efficiently..this will definitly be a milestone in the actor's career.. Coming to the rest of the actors, those who say that ASH can only look beautiful and not act can eat their words..standing by her husband's side through all the highs and lows, her persona elicits a confident, outspoken, yet conservative nature..her expression of anger mixed with hurt upon reading her lover's letter and her breakdown in the train afterwards are to be seen to be believed..the scene where she makes her daughters sing for their recuperating father is good..she is the confidante of Guru, all his anger and frustrations are handled by her in the most dignified manner, she however comes into her own towards the climax where she becomes the mouthpiece for Guru in the court, without her loving support and willpower, Guru would have lost..Mani Ratnam has managed to convey most of her emotions through her eyes, in a natural manner..even her body language from a bubbly and strongheaded village girl to a loving wife to a staunch supporter of Guru has been potrayed brilliantly by the actor..performance wise this would be one of the best in her career.. MITHUN CHAKARAVRTHY has finally got a role that he sink his teeth deep into..he has performed it so brilliantly that you wonder why this actor was wasted in B and C grade movies all these years..hs interactions with Guru, his mixed feelings of love and hate towards his god son, and his outburst at his staff running his newspaper firm have been excellently enacted by the actor..this should the comeback movie for this actor.. MADHAVAN albeit in a short role, has done well..he looks much younger and one of the scenes that stands out is the one where he exposes Guru's misdoings in the factory through an interview with the Director..his proposal scene with Vidya Balan is also well written although was a little taken aback with the lip lock that followed, aesthetic as it was ! VIDYA BALAN again in a short role has performed well..her relationship with her godfather Guru is cute ..the best scene where she gets to shine is the proposal one with Madhavan..however a weak characterization undermines her performance considerably... Others who stand out are the actors playing Guru's father, his friend from Turkey and Arya Babbar who plays his bro-in-law.. Direction is top notch..Mani as usual knows how to get the best out of every aspect mirroring the tiniest detail in a magnified format..this could easily be counted as one among his masterpieces.. Cinematography is excellent..where it manages to essay the old world feel via sepia/black and white tones to the 70s where its shot mostly in blue hues.. Music by RAHMAN is arousing..especially the background score which you actually find yourself humming after the movie is over (or was it just me ?)..arrangements and orchestration is rich and top class..truly one of his finest efforts ever, after RDB.. All in all, GURU is movie not to be missed..especially for the performance by our Gurubhai himself, Abhishek Bachan !!

Wonderful movie. Best Actor Award 2007 decided. Abhishek has left all the Khans far behind. A real treat for the moviegoers. Dialogues, Drama, Direction, Editing, Camerawork....superb! A pathbreaking cinema!

Good amalgam of imagination and inspiration, Guru, once again trodes the path of Mani's previous endevours - Roja, Iruvar and Bombay. Clever to potray socio-political commentaries, this time too, his protagonist faces all hurdles from comman man till the winner.
