Visiting my local cinema in Brussels, there was only one movie with tickets available showing in Original Version and not French language/dubbed. I had never heard of Guru and it never occurred to me that the Original Language was Hindi!

After 2 minutes of shock. I loved every minute: the way the director shamelessly grabbed your emotions by the hair and shook them around; the confidence not to show you everything that happened but to make you think during the film; the fact that almost every character was drawn in grays, not black and white; the way that you loved Guru, even when you neither liked nor respected him; most of all the mesmerising performance of the lead actor.

And as I think back on an apparently simplistic plot, I am always drawn back to the complexity of the central relationships between father & son.

3 hours of my life that I definitely don't want back :-)
