GURU

This was a long awaited movie. I had more expectations from this one, because it is inspired from the life of Dhirubhai Ambani. A package of typical Mani Ratnam's touch and Rehman's melody. Throughout the film, we never loose main storyline. Of course, there are some places which could be reshaped. e.g. instead of focusing on Madhavan and Vidya Balan , they could have made the last court-appearance more interesting and exciting. Also there are some songs (like the one which Abhishek and Aishwarya sing after she gives birth to her twins). And in fact, the way Abhishek pleads in court and wins the lawsuit against him is more dramatic than realistic. He simply doesn't prove to the court instead he runs through a kind of public speech and that's it. But I guess, we need to grow up in order to accept some see real-whacky-shaky courtroom arguments on silver screen.

Rest is fine. Abhishek once again proves that he has a potential to be a good actor ( when he works with a good director) . Madhavan is decent enough in his small role. Aishwarya and Vidya Balan didn't get much footage. And last but not the least, Mithunda , after a long period, we could see him doing a good role. (Remember Agnipath ? )
