Guru is a great movie with respect to portrayal of the director's thoughts. Had the story been more focussed on the protagonist and had not digressed to less relevant things, the movie could have very well competed with other movies of Mani. More relevant scenes, IMO, would be scenes relating to how GuruKanth Desai toiled hard to make such a vast empire and to outsmart his scourges. These scened could have been accommodated in the place of a few songs and a few romantic scenes involving madhavan and vidhya. Probably, Mani must have assumed that people know every hardship underwent by Dhirubhai and hence kept his focus only on conjuring up a climax that would lead to justifying every deed of Dhirubhai under the pretext of developing the nation.
As Mani had said, Abhisekh carries the entire film in his shoulders. Anybody could have done Aishwarya's role and would have suited better. I dont mean to say that Aishwarya bungled her job. She was too much for that role similar to Kamal in VV. IMO, Mani casted aish to reinforce his clout in the tinsel town and to rub salts on the wounds of Shankar and Rajini. The dialogues were spot on and a perfect Gujarathi slang was as good as the Bengali slang perfectly captured in Yuva (especially Om Puri's).
Well, am surprised at nobody mentioning about the irritatingly shaky and hazy camera work at the initial part of the movie. Rajiv menon had said that it was to represent the ebullience of the youth. The camera gets steady as guru progresses with age. Is it really necessary to shake the cameras to reinforce that gurukanth is young and energetic? The sets of bombay looked great. Though there was a scene where abhisekh talks with mithun with a lot of high-rise buildings in the background. i suspect if such building existed in the late sixties. And no wonder, Mani will stick with Rahman.
I feel there was nothing to explain there. Both knew there was true love between them. Though, as always, a few truths hurt and humans react well before they could think. Aish leaves, repents in solitude and forgives him when he comes back.Quote:

Good Point Nerd :thumbsup: . We dont need lesser related critics to tell us how great/or not our movies are. We always knew nayagan is great. There wouldnt have been any disappointment even if nayagan couldnt have found a place in the Times' list or Dil Se not entering the UK top ten. Though, we cant hide our happiness when our movies find a spot(global recognition) they deserve.Quote:

BTW-> Kamal was not hyped to great Extent as you said. But Nothies Made him to quit Bollywood because of Fear. He doesn't need any hype.
