Namrata Joshi Outlook Jan 23, 2019
2/4
The gait, the mannerisms, the voice, the diction, even the smile-everything is so overtly mannered and contrived that you know the boy is trying very hard at "acting" than actually becoming the character. Go to Full Review

It is certainly one of the best Bollywood movies you will see in 2007. Go to Full Review

4/5
Guru brings together A. R. Rahman's tasteful tunes with Gulzar's lyrics, and these combined with its powerful cast makes it not a mere movie but a milestone in Bollywood cinema. Go to Full Review

4.5/5
Mani Ratnam is a master film-maker, in fact, he's probably the best. Definitely the most revered - and India's answer to Spielberg. Go to Full Review
David Chute L.A. Weekly Jan 19, 2007
The film is a triumph of casting: In a role that is often about the sheer steamrolling force of his character's personality, Abishek Bachchan's attention to detail makes Guru accessible rather than intimidating, admirable but also plausible. Go to Full Review

Finn P May 15, 2018 "Guru" is a solid movie that shows that Abhishek Bachchan is a first-rate actor. His performance is definitely the main reason to check this movie out. It spans many years and seeing him play this role is fascinating. I do feel that the movie has segments of time where it really slows down but for the most part, I was at least interested by the story. It's not a must-see Bollywood movie but it is an interesting one that I think it worth checking out at least once. See more
