Mausam, I watched the last day last show of the movie "Guru" last night. The Abhishek-Aishwarya starrer has been on the Movies-I-must-watch list ever since I heard the soundtrack. The last movie that Mani ratnam directed was Yuva which i absolutely adored though it flopped bigtime. But the promos, the cast, the music, the support team were enough reasons for me to watch this one. The movie is as good as the songs "Aie Hairathe aashiquee" and "Tere Bina" are.
I braved the -5 degree F temperature to reach the theatre, an effort which becomes even more astonishing when you consider that I had to walk atleast a mile to reach the theatre and also I went there all by myself!
No matter how many times Abhishek, Ratnam deny that itz not based on Dirubhai but within 5 mins of the start of the movie you know that the similarity with the Ambaniz will be hard to miss. Not only the main leads very impressive but the rest of the cast perform extremly well too. Aish does'nt have much role other than to look good, which she does, she really has about 2-3 scenes which could have made or marred her performance in the movie and she gets a thumbs up in those scenes.
Guru is completely Abhishek Bachchan movie and he delivers a stunning performance. His transition from a youthful ambitious lad to a chieftain of the biggest indian company is smooth and realistic.
Abhishek's understanding with Mithun in this movie is very unique. It has been a while since I saw such a relationship being potrayed on screen. Madhavan's motives for his actions were kind of vague, his role could have been a little more defined. Vidya Balan as a handicap did'nt suit the part. But the scene where Madhavan proposes to her is shot really well and Vidya Balan's acting stands out.
Going back to Abhishek, well there are quite a few scenes where his resemblence with Big B is hard to miss. Atleast in this movie Abhishek does as well as Big B performed in any of his movies. There were hardly any flaws in the Junior B's performance. He was very articulative during the court scene towards the end of the movie. The songs were well woven into the movie, and all songs helped the story move forward. All in all it was a wonderful experience and my love for bollywood movie continues. I did'nt mind the extremely cold and windy night coz the movie was worth all the time and effort.
By the way, Happy Republic Day! That reminds me a year from now I had watched the parade.
Till the next time,Vande Mataram!
Regards,
Ajj Kaim
