"GURU" makes a GREAT START!!!



Abhishek and Aishwarya’s latest movie, Guru, has been released across India on 12th January. On its first day, the movie made a huge splash among viewers. People appreciated the movie very much. The main reason behind Guru’s success is Abhishek Bachchan’s outstanding performance. India Glitz, the popular Indian movie website, conducted a survey on the viewers who watched the film for the first time. I am quoting from the report:

Abhishek Bachchan’s performance in ‘Guru’ shall always be referred to as a performance that jolts you. And the Mumbai public agrees with this viewpoint. Although the advance booking in Mumbai has been lowest (10 – 30%) as compared to Chennai (House full for the first two days) and Delhi (50 – 60% advance booking), but when Indiaglitz conducted an exclusive video of ‘Guru’ public opinion after the first day first show yesterday, the overwhelming majority was of the opinion that ‘Guru’ is a landmark film. The dazed expression on their faces said it all.

The story of Guru is based on the life of Dhirubhai Ambani, the founder of Reliance Group. The movie depicts the life of Gurukant, a villager, who becomes a successful businessman. Abhishek is doing the lead character “Guru”. On the first day, there were not as many viewers as expected but the people who came enjoyed the movie very much. According to the India Glitz report, Mani Rathnam can be referred as the “Master of movie making”. Aishwarya and Abhishek’s pair up was liked by the audience but Aishwarya’s was not very much highlighted in the movie. Viday Balan’s performance was also very much appreciated.

Guru can be considered a milestone is Abhishek’s career. He worked very hard for it. Some movie lovers were so impressed that they said that Bachchan junior has outshone his father. Another report published in Apun ka Choice.com, said Amitabh Bachchan, the megastar himself, admitted that Abhishek has defeated him in acting and he would watch the film hundred times.

A.R. Rahman’s music has always been a plus point for his films and Guru is no exception. The tracks were liked by the audience.

It looks like Abhishek has a good start in 2007. Guru has got green signal from both the critics and the audience. Let’s see what happens in the coming weeks.
