Guru Got Its Debut Release in Canada with Great Enthusiasm

Guru has been the first Bollywood movie which has been debuted in outside India. The movie was formally introduced on Thursday in Toronto, Canada. The South Asian fans have gathered in the function with great enthusiasm in order to be the witness of this great occasion. About 1200 people were present at that launching ceremony. The movie won Canada before it is released in India. Two protagonists of this movie, Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai were present at the function which increased the demand of the ticket among the fans. I am quoting some lines regarding the news from a CBC report:

About 1,200 ticketholders also eagerly awaited the landmark screening inside the historic venue, joined by a gaggle of media outlets, many from India and some of whom broadcast the evening live.

Organizers billed Thursday evening's premiere as the first time a Bollywood film has ever debuted outside India.

"The Indian film industry, as you know, is the largest film industry in the world. We want to reach out to audiences overseas," Bachchan, the son of veteran Bollywood superstar Amitabh Bachchan, told reporters.

Both the producers of Guru and Toronto officials have cited the city's large South Asian community and culture of movie aficionados as reasons for the premiere.

"It's wonderful to come here in person and actually premiere a movie, you know, mainstream," said Rai.

The former beauty queen, who has been called the most beautiful woman in the world, has also branched out to Hollywood features.

An epic that has been compared to Citizen Kane, Guru traces the life of a poor, young villager who eventually rises to become one of the richest, most successful business figures in the country. Bachchan stars as Gurukant Desai, with Rai playing his wife, Sujatha.

The movie has started its journey with a record which is expected to be continued in the following weeks. I think, Guru Producers, in the way, have made an example for the Bollywood movie which will inspire people to watch more Bollywood movies. Now lets see what is waiting in the fate of the movie.
