Having bought the DVD several months back, I managed to watch the movie "Guru"
staring Abhishek Bachchan yesterday. The story was widely rumoured to be based on Reliance
Dhirubhai Ambani's life. Abhishek definitely has done a superb performance in
the movie coming as the ambitious businessman. Though Aishwarya Rai comes throughout
the movie, she has very little role and leaves no impact.
The first half of the movie, where Gurukant Desai raises to fame fast was well taken,
but the second half resembles more a routine Hindi Movie with a fight (not physical)
and the Hero winning at the end. Overall, if you remove the Reliance Ambani connection
from your mind, this is a very ordinary movie - Director Mani Rathnam could have done
better.
