Review of Guru

Guru (2007)
7/10
Not a Legend, still worth your time...

Warning: Spoilers
Three reasons why i decided to watch this movie..

1. Mani Ratnam 2. Rajiv Menon 3. A R Rehman

The trio have done justice to their duty with a strong (not flawless) script, beautiful picturization, and heartwarming music. The selection of locations also deserves appreciation.

The movie have got some elements of inspiration for people who would want to chase their dreams against the advices of the whole world, but I am not sure whether this movie can be called as a motivational movie because of certain reasons such as the unbelievable pace in which "Gurukant Desai" grows from a beginner into a tycoon, and certain strategies including twisting of law en route to reaching the dream.

Chasing the dream is not a new theme as far as Hollywood or Bollywood is concerned, but may be the difference is that the whole movie is about Chasing the dream and Only chasing the dream.

It was different from the usual Bollywood movies in a way in which it made me think (THINK) instead of watch, enjoy and forget which happens with most of them.

What could have improved? Apart from Abhishek Bachan, Midhun Chakraborty and Madhavan, rest of the credited characters doesnot seem to be doing a very good performance.
