Top CriticIt is certainly one of the best Bollywood movies you will see in 2007.
02/05/07
Filmmaker Mani Ratnam leavens his trademark politically charged melodrama with a smoking belly dance by sultry Mallika Sherawat and a wet-sari number for the stunning Rai.
02/03/07
Ratnam's absorbing screenplay ensures that Guru rises above the usual rags to riches story.
01/27/07
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.
01/19/07
Boasts excellent production values, enjoyable dance numbers and two charismatic turns from normally lightweight stars.
01/18/07
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.
01/17/07
Top CriticUnlike most mainstream filmmakers, Ratnam doesn't try to include something for everyone, but he does deliver several handsome production numbers.
01/12/07
There is a lot to engage the eye and the ear in Guru.
01/12/07
Top CriticMani Ratnam's often absorbing Guru is 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.
01/12/07
Top CriticEven if you have never heard of [Dhirubhai] Ambani or know little about India and its history, you can still appreciate GURU for its terrific cast and its strong direction and script.
