Hi folks, I just felt like pointing this out and am not sure how many agree with r dont!
For the last 1 week or so, the marketing for GURU is going @ a intense pace, Its gud bcoz every nook-and-corner people shud now know abt GURU release. But I feel, there have been too many interviews from mani/rahman/abhishek,making on IBN/Rediff/Times of India/Sify/Hindu etc... They are hyping it too much and i feel its not gud as it raises the expectations. Many films dont fare well not bcoz they r bad but bcoz they cudn't meet the pre-release hype. They shud do some promos and let the film and critics talk rather than beating their own doll-drums. We know mani is gr8 , gr8 story , extracts the best and stuff, but people repeating it time and again. Rahman for that matter everytime comes up with an album with Mani always quotes "mani gets the best out of me/we share a gud rapport", We all know this and he cud have just stopped with "talking abt songs" bcoz its different from each album. My worry is meeting the expectations. If its gud commercially/technically/story-wise I will be happy and anything like RDB is bonus, but turning out as a disaster, i think this hype wud have significantly contributed. Hope for the best. 1 Quick Q - did mani agree that iruvar was based on MGR/Karunanidhi r denied saying its imaginary? Cheers Sundar.
