Guru!

I was very well inclined to watch this on the very weekend it released and finally did manage to get tickets, albeit they were of Friday night itself but of the very first row in the theater.

I wonder when everyone knows that the movie is based on Dhirubhai Ambani's life then why does the director still put a message that the story is fictional. Why not come out in the open and say that it is biographical. It also showed the animosity between him and the Wadias of Bombay Dyeing. Anyway...

Great and very promising first half. Second half was also good but because the first half was so good that there was a hint on dissatisfaction at the end of the movie. A couple of songs were also misplaced and should not have been there.

But all in all one of the better films and a good one to start 2007 with.

Good that we are seeing refreshingly different films being made by Bollywood than the same old masala and song and dance route. Last year had a lot of those kind of films and this year has also started on that positive note.
