Guru Page #4

Synopsis: A school-teacher in India sires a son named Gurukant, but is disappointed as the child fails to live up to his high expectations. When Gurukant grows up, he is unable to secure decent employment in India, so finds a way to go to Turkey, where he finds employment. When he returns back to India, he wants to start his own business, but is unable to do so, as he does not have enough money. So he does some research, gets to meet Sujata, the daughter of a wealthy man named Jignesh, and marries her. After the marriage, Gurukant finds out that Sujata has a dark past, but he ignores this - for his one motive is to be to rise in the eyes of his father - and get rich.

He doesn't wake up before ten

o'clock, how will you slap him?

Do you know him?

Since he was this little.

Can you do something for me?

l don't believe in giving

But you look like a big

social communist leader.

You should help the poor.

And if l say no?

That's a problem. l

Come to my office tomorrow.

Will you get the letter for me?

l'll make sure your voice is heard.

A very big businessman.

Bigger than anybody..

A bit.

Here l am, right beside you.

But you won't last - There

There's just one person

many complaints against me.

You should have talked to me

lt's difficult to meet you.

Today you're in

trouble so you've come here..

..or you go only to the club.

lt seems like this trading

association doesn't require me.

l am resigning.

No.

Let him go, someone

else will come along.

Quiet. You needn't go sir.

He's decided.

Now even God can't make him

change his decision, isn't it?

My decision won't

change but times will.

Anything could happen tomorrow..

don't come crying to me.

lf we're going to be that scared,

how'll we do business?

Don't worry.. we are the fearless.

What was your name again?

Not 'was', it still is..

and will always be..

Where is that villager Guru?

You opened a new

office without calling me?

Meenu, what do we do with him..

wring his neck or break his teeth?

l'll do it.

Which tooth?

This one.

My name is Meenakshi.

Mani Ratnam

Gopala Ratnam Subramaniam (born 2 June 1956), commonly known by his screen name Mani Ratnam, is an Indian film director, screenwriter, and producer who predominantly works in Tamil cinema. The Government of India honoured him with the Padma Shri, acknowledging his contributions to film in 2002. Despite being born into a film family, Mani Ratnam did not develop any interest towards films when he was young. Upon completion of his post graduation in management, he started his career as a consultant. He entered the film industry through the 1983 Kannada film Pallavi Anu Pallavi. The failure of his subsequent films would mean that he was left with fewer offers. However, his fifth directorial outing, Mouna Ragam (1986), established him as a leading filmmaker in Tamil cinema. He followed that with Nayakan (1987). Mani Ratnam is well known for his "Terrorism trilogy" consisting of Roja (1992), Bombay (1995), and Dil Se.. (1998). Mani Ratnam is married to Tamil actress Suhasini and has a son with her. He has won several film awards, including six National Film Awards, six Filmfare Awards South and three Bollywood Filmfare Awards. more…
