Guru Ratings & Reviews
Common Sense Media
Sakhi Thirani
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.
L.A. Weekly
David Chute
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.
Film Journal International
Ethan Alter
Boasts excellent production values, enjoyable dance numbers and two charismatic turns from normally lightweight stars.
Variety
Derek Elley
Strongly cast, long-limbed yarn contains some of Ratnam's best stuff in its first half but script weaknesses mar the later going and film's overall impact.
TV Guide
Maitland McDonagh
Unlike most mainstream filmmakers, Ratnam doesn't try to include something for everyone, but he does deliver several handsome production numbers.
New York Post
Lou Lumenick
Mani Ratnam's often absorbing Guru is sort of a Bollywood Citizen Kane, a decades-spanning drama with a compelling Abhishek Bachchan as a ruthless Indian business tycoon who refuses to take no for an answer.
Murphy's Movie Reviews
Ted Murphy
Even if you have never heard of [Dhirubhai] Ambani or know little about India and its history, you can still appreciate GURU for its terrific cast and its strong direction and script.
