rediff usually gives only 1 or 2 stars so if it's given 3 GURU has ROCKED :redjump:

I saw the movie on Friday afternoon in Bangalore (PVR cinemas) and my verdict is that it is an average movie. The background was noisy and screaming but it may be only me, because I haven't seen many movies in Indian theaters in a long time.

Abhishek and Aishwarya have acted adequately but something is wrong with the movie as it failed to keep me engrossed. I will be surprised if the movie becomes a hit. It seems many bits and pieces have been attached together and there was a lack of cohesiveness. Maybe it is only me. Songs were good but only Mayya mayya, Barso re, Ek lo ek muft, and Dumm dera were fully heard. Others were used in pieces. What is the need for Mayya mayya? I am not sure. Aishwarya sings Barso re and does not live up to that intro image, IMO. The lengthy Abhishek response in the climax is just emotional and the people interrogating him appear juvenile. MR is gone for ever.

Indiafm reports that GURU 's success is picking up slowly, but with the positive word of mouth, it'll attain HIT status within a week or 2.

Congrats Mani on your first hindi hit! Expect Abhishek bachchan to pick up a national award for his performance.

This also RAISES expectations and hype for his next with Aamir-Kareena starrer "Lajjo."

tami Guru lacks the feel

Is this true?? Somebody, who has seen the movie can tell.

An excellent insightful review by one of the best(if not THE best) reviewers online
