Guru : (2007) , Mani Ratnam

Over the weekend I had a chance to watch what I can clearly say is the younger Mr. Bachchan's best performance. Guru a movie about an "am admi" from Gujarat who comes to the big city to start a business, is an immensely well told story. It is not any secret that the story is modeled on the life of Dhirajlal (Dhirubai) Hirachand Ambani and makes references to specific events from his life like the enmity with Nusli Wadia (Bombay Dyeing) and the media war with Ramanant Goenka (Indian Express Group).

This movie goes far beyond just telling the story. It is an insight into the culture of the Reliance Group. It is by far one of the better biographies in Bollywood.
