Guru (2007)

dear friend if my review can be biased , whatever, great. couple of issues: MS is a forum to express. i had a certain view of the movie - and thats what i hv said. if i gave other movies more ratings -cd be because u dont expect a brainy stuff from a lmalamaal weekly anyway- unlike mani ratnam. and... as to other giving me VU rates to get points-i think all of us are mature individuals. and calling other 'idiots' well...i think this spoils the fun.
