Guru : DVD or the theatre ?

Guru !! So should you wait for the DVD or watch it the theatre ? Well depends.

Mani Ratnam ’s Guru was released to a lot of fanfare. I watched the movie first day out here in the BayArea. For some reason I am always a wellwisher of Abhishek Bachchan and watch his movies at the theatres. All these days it was because I thought Abhishek was underestimated. But now I have to rethink my position because I think hes getting more than his due. But wait !! That was before Guru !!

Guru is an Abhishek Bachchan movie. If you like him, go and watch !! Else wait for the DVD. Its as simple as this. If you plan to watch it because its based on Dhirubhai Ambani’s life, its not worth the watch unless you adore him a lot. Its more of a biographical film. Mani Ratnam is a good film maker but not a great entertainer. The movie bluntly tells a story. You do not as such enjoy the journey.

Aishwarya Rai is surprisingly brilliant in this movie. I did not like her in Dhoom 2. She looked, talked and walked fake !! Thats my opinion. Aishwarya Rai is brilliant in traditional role. Check out Hum Dil Chuke Sanam, Devdas and Guru. Great acting, wonderful screen presence. Check all other masala movies of her .. she cannot act !! Ash is amazingly beautiful and she looks best and acts best in roles which are closer to her real self.

The climax of the movie is about an investigation where Guru has to answer a panel over accusation of corruption. Its utterly baseless BS scene with no rhyme and logic and brings down the movie. Over all if you are excited to see Ash and Abhi together. Well go ahead and watch. They look good. But in this movie, theres no love story as such and let me tell you that Guru marries the girl just because it would help his career

Mallika Sherwat has an item number .. Maiya Maiya .. where she stand and moves (or was that a dance ? ) while exposing as much as a Mani Ratnam movie could offer.

So DVD it is .. because anyway its more than a week or two. Go and watch Saalame Ishq. That will be an entertaining movie. So till I watch Salaame Ishq and find out how Salman ’s most recent transplant looks, good bye. And watch Guru on a non torrent, legal DVD rented from your local DVD store.
