Mani Rathnam's Next :::: GURU

[Nerd]

Dhiru was not an ethical guy (due respects to him). He has been projected as a SAINT in the movie, which I dont approve of

Nerd, will ethics raise India to a super power???

i really felt inspired by the dialogue where he says "is developing nation a crime?"......though it may sound pretty sentimental and hollow statement, in reality, Ambani's shares have made many Gujaratis rich......well, he was one of the factors for Gujarat's tremendous growth......

gr8, as i told u, when maarwadis talk it is very funny.......thats wat guru's climax was all about.......they talk nonsense and escape sensibly.... ......the climax wasnt just nonsense, he made some stunning dialogues like "aapne 5 minute diya aur meine 4:30 minute mein khatam kar diya......30 second munafa" ...also, the comission doesent let him go scot free just like that, they still go with the cases but its judiciary who has to punish him where he actually escapes.... ......Mani has very sound concepts on these things , if not about MGR and Srilankan problems....

I think you guys watched a different movie than i did.
Guru has been shown as a savvy, ruthless buisness man and not as a saint.
Some examples to prove the above:
* he is shown has bribing everyone with nice gifts(remember the scene where Mithun asks the peon to remove the shirt given by Guru)
* He slanders his buisness opponent using friends in the in the media.
* He threatens minister that he will expose the ministers late uncle.
* People call him smuggler, cheater in the share holder meeting.

Again the climax, shows the acumen of Guru. He makes a strong case saying that all he knows is to do buisness. If there are holes in the system, he is not responsible for it. Also, if laws are impractical they need to be re-written.

He is no saint..far from it. Finally, The movie is done from Guru's viewpoint...remember he is shown thinking about his life at the start.

Nayagan, well said...

that's exactly how I felt; it's about GURU, the business man and his ambition and perserverance...he will do whatever it takes to be successful, whether it was morally right or wrong...
