'Guru En Aalu': Laugh-riot!


'Guru En Aalu': Laugh-riot!
Movie Review

Guru En Aalu' is a Tamil remake of the Shah Rukh Khan hit, 'Yes Boss' (1997), directed by Aziz Mirza. The Selvaa directed film is nowhere near the original, but it has many a sparkling moments and makes one laugh.

Though the film has interesting plot, the director and actors have been trying to out do the original, it seems. Most of the actors, including Madhavan look a little unnatural!

Madhavan plays Guru who goes out of his way to please his lecherous boss (Krishna, played by Abbas), so that he can go up in life. But, once Guru falls in love with Seema (Mamta Mohandas), an ambitious model, things change. The boss also has an eye on Seema and Guru tries hard to save her from the designs of his boss.

Madhavan has given a decent performance, but lacks the spontaneous charm of King Khan. Mamta, with her hour hourglass figure, is a treat to watch, but is no patch on the bubbly role played by Juhi Chawla in the original.

Vivek evokes quite a few laughs in the role of a fake Yoga techer and a sidekick of Guru.
