Guru-Disappoints

Well I got up pretty early today did some useful work. Then decided to check out the movie guru by Maniratnam. Little did I realise that this was the biggest mistake that I was ever gonna do . The muvee is inspired from the real life rags to riches story of Dhirubhai H Ambani , the boss of Reliance. The muvee was very un-maniratnam like
It tries to glorify the prince of polyester for all the controversies attached to him.
The muvee captures his Aden stay as an Istanbul stay and modifies things littlebit to prove that its indeed a fiction(Like iruvar n Nayagan. Iruvar being an inspiration of the life n career of ace politicians M G Ramachandran & Karunanidhi and Nayagan being the life history of Don Varadaraja Mudaliyar of Dharavi Mumbai)

As like Nayagan he tries to glorify the protagonist just to avoid trouble. But seriously this muvee lacked the solid Nayagan screenplay. It looked like disconnected bits of a documentary .. and the songs tho brilliant looked oddly out of place.. seriously the songs were just used as bits inn Yuva which helped the pace f the muvee…

God can anyone make a muvee without stripping malllika Sherawat. Mani you too…???

The muvee documents the Wadia-Ambani Feud, battle betn Ramnath Goenka and Ambani etc. The muvee has not captured Anil and Mukesh and also about the Pramod Mahajan nexus.

The jamnagar refinery is shown much ahead .
Aishwarya Rai does some justice to her role…

Finally the climax court scene gurubhai just blurts out some nonsense and he is let scot-free with just a meagre fine. Hmm and the end is that his conglomerate marches ahead.

But the sad story is nothing as such happened in real life and the conglomerate has infact split after a public spat.

The muvee seems to give the message that everything is valid in business and whatever scandal that was done in license permit era was valid.

I really feel that ethics still hold true and ethics should be maintained.

And as a muvee it was too long and disjointed.....
