Given a rich, multidimensional role, Mr. Bachchan ably seizes on its abundant opportunities.

Unlike most mainstream filmmakers, Ratnam doesn't try to include something for everyone, but he does deliver several handsome production numbers.

Sort of a Bollywood "Citizen Kane," a decades-spanning drama with a compelling Abhishek Bachchan as a ruthless Indian business tycoon who refuses to take no for an answer.

The film is a triumph of casting: In a role that is often about the sheer steamrolling force of his character’s personality, Abishek Bachchan’s attention to detail makes Guru accessible rather than intimidating, admirable but also plausible.

Strongly cast, long-limbed yarn contains some of Ratnam's best stuff in its first half but script weaknesses mar the later going and film's overall impact.

The Movie Guru is slightly Based on Billionare Dhirubhai Ambani's(Father of Mukesh and Anil AMbani) Life Story. Ambani Stories had so Many Ups and Downs. Maniratnam(Director) has handled the Ups and Downs ver y care fully and did not over comes the original story. This kind of direction we will see with some film directors only .This Makes Maniratnam a Maker of a World Cinema.. The Cast is also well made and Abhishek Bacchan Done his part very well . No Very gud part for Aiswarya But she also did her best in the Movie. MAdavan and all are well fit With the Characters. The cast of the movie and Direction made the film success.Last but not Least Academy Award Winner A.R Rahman Track helped the Movie to Come back whenever the movie is slow in process. His Back Ground Scores Still Plays a Key Role in the Movie..Some Logics has been Missed In the Movie .. But the Movie and the Making is Better.. It Caused the Sucess ..
