    A highly underrated movie-A must watch for serious film lovers

    The title Guru itself reveals much about the film. Guru,meaning teacher,is the one who guides ,helps, a mortal to open the doors to self realization and immortal bliss. The metaphysical connotations in the film along with its good story, amazing visuals,melodious music and superb acting from lead actors make the film a wonderful cinematic experience. What happens to us when we are deficient of one sense is portrayed beautifully ; the film poses another question-ARE WE DEFICIENT OF ANOTHER SENSE THAT IS STILL UNKNOWN TO US a sixth sense. A brain in a vat phenomenon. Any one can enjoy the film as it has multiple layers... first layer is a fantasy (appealing even to a child)second a romance drama,third a thriller,fourth a musical love story , fifth a documentary on communal violence and sixth a visual approach to higher metaphysical questions and existence . Find out what you feel..... This film will surely rock your brains.

    A must watch movie

    Highly metaphorical movie with multiple layers of meaning, the story bears some thematic resemblance with Plato's Allegory of The Cave. The movie makes a strong statement on various extreme divisions in the society, and the resulting conflicts and violence; evils which lie deep within one's own mind and reflected in the world. The movie portraits this human predicament as a result of the ignorance into the true nature of things. Guru himself can be regarded as a symbol of the manifestation of the supreme liberating knowledge.

    The first Malayalam movie to be nominated for an Oscar

    A great story that affects the mystical life of the human mind from an idea that has conjoined the social condition of the modern age and affects an existential life and the existing life of the people The making of the film was reminiscent of everyone's attention , Guru ... that was a movie. The valley of the blind is beautiful and picturesque ... The question and the answer is a painting of how cruel religious thinking can be blind.
