I was watching the movie Guru, by Maniratnam.
Powerful performance by Abhishek as Guru ...so powerful that Amitabh commented that his son has surpassed him in acting...well, the comment was received with mixed responses, obviously, and generally was taken as a promotional statement. ...and A.R.Rahman is magical.
I loved the scene where Guru's trusted deputy asks him, "Some one is throwing stones at us and you want us to just stand and watch?" ...for which Guru replies, "Don't just stand. Move on! Make progress in whatever you are doing!"
What a gem! Throughout the movie, Guru is portrayed with the same spirit...and many a times he says..."I am not capable of hearing the word No"
Just sat back and enjoyed the positive energy portrayed there.

Ok. Don't miss this nice creation from Maniratnam.
Hope you had a nice week end:)
Sree: Hi. Thanks for the visit and the link.
I agree with your take on this, and yes, I watched the movie in a theater. The song sequences in particular...Enjoyed Hariharan's Aye Hairathe on Dolby...Sheer magic. Recently, watched the movie again on TV and missed those Rahman/Hariharan effects :(
You are right. The Mani stamp is visible throughout..with shades of Nayakan's portrayal ...may be because both movies are biographies...but Mani's methods are so thoroughly enjoyable so I have no complaints.
Nice blog you have.
