On the whole, awesome movie. All credits to Mani. I like it when people stay true to the subject instead of making it too commercial. An artiste is one whose art is for himself not others. It manages to
hold your attention for the length of the movie.
Well, till the last parts anyway. The pace never slows down. Of course Abhishek carries the film on his shoulders and does it pretty well I must say. This is the first time I’ve seen him act...well. He should stick to more of such kinda roles.But I definitely saw a lot of Amitabh in his performance. Superbly crafted cinema that just has those hidden message kinda like those between the lines stuff.
It tells us about dreams, the indomitable human spirit and strength in times of adversity without being preachy.Guru inspires you to fight fo your dreams but as a tribute to realism even Guru the lead, is not white but grey. It not only shows us the all the wonderful things about going for your dreams
but also throws light on the darkness that can accompany it. It wavers over the age old question of Morals v/s Succcess. There is a hint of capitalism v/s socialism in the end too but I’d leave that to experts to
decipher.Ash does her job well. The look doesn’t flatter her but just so real. You can’t really say anything about Vidya balan as the role isjust too short.
It ought to be called a guest appearance. Madhavan is very good and as a pleasant surprise comes back Mithun Chakraborty with a splendid performance. There are some glitches here and there but the message and the honesty of the movie makes you wanna ignore them.I
still think they could have done with fewer songs.Watch it! If you haven’t already...
