Gurudev

Guru Dev is a top notch action made by the late Vinod Mehra, with a great RD Burman soundtrack to go with it.

The story is typically 70s which if it was made back then one could've seen vinod mehra acting in it himself. Written by Prayag Raaj -who also i believe co wrote Coolie and Mard and also made Geraftaar starring Amitabh Bachchan Kamal Hassan and Rajnikant which is another great film - gives the story the extra something which puts it above the films which normally follow bollywood formula's

The songs were great,RD Burman had lost it big time in the mid eighties with too much mediocre work, 1942 A love story he was recognised as great again, but it didn't have the RD Feeling to it, Guru Dev however, seemed like he went back to his roots which has RD Burmans style stamped all over it

Performance wise everyone was good, Anil Kapoor put in a solid performance. It was also nice to Rishi Kapoor in a change of persona in a more action based role shame he didn't get much more of these. Sridevi was brilliant,and possibly over shadows the main leads to an extent,she has such a great comic timing,which hardly any actress has managed to perfect down the years, which is why I regard her as the best actress ever.

Overall Guru Dev is a solid entertainer and definitely one to check out

Why Sridevi wasted? Even in this film she gave awesome comic scenes , which can be kind of cult scenes , this movie will be remembered only for Sridevi's comedy and songs , rest all ignored.

This was a great film Rishi Kapoor, Sridevi, Anil Kapoor, Kiran Kumar, Pran, Danny Denzongpa, Asrani, Harish Patel, Seema Deo, Satyen Kappu and Kader Khan rock The film had a storyline which would have worked in the 70s but at least it worked in the 90s Sridevi has worked as a cheeky mischief monger and a sensible dancer but in this film she plays twins and pulls it off quite nicely The hospital scene is a highlight Rishi Kapoor didn't play a lot of action roles in his career and should have Vinod Mehra was a better actor than director He would have definitely acted in the film if he was alive This is a good family film with lots of action Its worth its watch!

Though the film identifies itself as 'Gurudev' in patriarchal honor of its two male leads (Guru & Dev played affectionately by Rishi Kapoor & Anil Kapoor) the film should be called "Rosie" because it belongs-- almost entirely-- to the misfit character of that name played to hysterical perfection by Sridevi. She also plays another character (a pretty stage dancer who is comparatively quite dull) but Rosie is a brilliantly fleshed out comic creation, kind of a cross between Aamir Khan in Rangeela and Lucy Ricardo: she is foul, drunk, deceitful, and constantly looking to find new ways to become rich and famous. Her facial expressions are simply priceless.

The film has lots of action typical of 80s Bollywood (it was made in the late 80s but was delayed to '93 because of the director's death) but its most memorable moments belongs to Sridevi's delicious performance as a vagrant opportunist. Sridevi is just *brilliant*. Definitely recommended.

This is a film which I recommend to anyone. It stars Sridevi, Rishi Kapoor, Anil Kapoor, Laxmikant Berde, Kiran Kumar, Pran and Danny Denzongpa. It is one of those films which the whole family can sit and watch together. The dialogue is good and the acting is brilliant. Sridevi is the undoubted star of the film, and re-confirms that she is the number one actress in the business. Rent this movie out !
