Hello Group,
I just finished watching the movie.let me put up the points one by one,
The movie starts off superb.The photography is breath taking.Mayya mayya
plays when credits roll.The locations and the quality of the movie surpasses
anything that Indian Cinema has ever seen.Abhishek is brilliant and
Aishwarya is surprising good too (i dont fancy her much).
The whole crew gets everything right in the first half.A R Rahman is at his
usual best with fulte pieces of barso re haunting you for
sometime.Theoccasional humor is very good and the audience appreciates
everything thats
coming in.
But but after the interval is what is a little disturbing. AB matures as an
actor at this point but the script weakens. And hopelessly at times. Mani
Sir, who had the audience glued to the seats fails to keep them from getting
restless.
No major events are depicted in Guru's bhais life and this will be the
downfall of Guru if it happens.The camera work (especially during the court
scene) gets a little shaky which was not actually required.
If this is not enough , ARR goes a little out of course himself. The Guru
theme by Blaaze is too repetitive if not annoying at times. Also the back
ground score during the court scene should have been there at all.
Mani Ratnam fails to use the same grip he had in the first half. This was
the problem with yuva too.He needs to concentrate to end the movie with the
same brilliance at which he starts off.
Kudos to all the actors (Mithun da is brilliant). A decent performance by
Maddy and Vidya.
All said Guru is a good movie but not extraordinary. Will it be a hit? I
will be pleasantly surprised if it does.
PS: Hopefully my criticism will have an adverse effect and you all love the
movie ;)
