Guru - Jubilee of imagination and inspiration.
Mani's genius lies in incorporating a cute and impish love into the broader ambit of an emotionless world of shares and supplies. Mani's other great success is in getting the best out of his team. In Mani's company, Rehman becomes magical and his beautiful songs get an even more compelling contextual beauty. Rajeev Menon has the true 'eye' of Mani, bringing into images, the ideas in the director's mind.(more)

Guru is a film not to be missed.
It is an encore of triumph for India’s finest director on celluloid. Mani Ratnam has once again cast his magical spell on the audience. Abhishek Bachchan carries the film on his shoulders. Aishwarya Rai is as angelic as ever. The rapport that Mani Ratnam shares with A R Rahman has once again been emphatically proved in this film. (more)

Tale of a dreamer admirably told - Guru.
'Guru' is vintage Mani Ratnam. It encapsulates his characteristic canniness about human nature, specifically relationships. However, for anyone reasonably familiar with the filmmaker's work, there are moments of déjà vu. If you haven't already heard, this is considered Abhishek Bachchan's role of a lifetime. But, the most significant performance is from Madhavan. The cinematography by Rajiv Menon is classic. (more)

Guru is undoubtedly a gutsy and an outstanding film.
Mani has to be appreciated for making a biopic, the most difficult genre, work. Guru is a mature, professionally made film with great performances. It is stylish, engrossing, classy and a must see for connoisseurs of good cinema. Abhishek-Ash on screen chemistry has never been so good. Though much has been said about A.R.Rahman’s songs, it is the background score which is a winner this time. On the downside, the film is too long and drags in the second half. (more)
