Editorial Review:
The Day-Glo delights of India's Bollywood musicals collide with the crossed-love conventions of Hollywood romantic comedies in The Guru. Jimi Mistry, a young Indian named Ramu who wants to live the American dream and become famous, moves to New York and finds only menial work in restaurants. But when he mistakenly gets cast in a skin flick, he meets a sweet and thoughtful porn star (Heather Graham) whose philosophical mix of sex and spirituality come in handy when Ramu has to pretend to be a swami for an upper-crust birthday party. The birthday girl (Marisa Tomei) seizes upon Ramu's cribbed aphorisms and leads Ramu into a career as a sex guru. The Guru's uneven script squanders much of its comic potential, but the stars have charm to burn--and when the movie launches into its glorious musical numbers, it enters a realm of delirious glee. --Bret Fetzer
Guru [Region 2] Reviews:
Bollywood vs Hollywood 
2008-11-23 - India's movie industry comes to America with this little seen
gem of a picture. Heather Graham is wonderfull in this role
and as sexy as ever.
I still love this film 
2008-07-19 - The other reviews give you a good idea of the plot. I just loved the carefree goofiness of the film. Jimi Mistry is seriously attractive and appealing as our hero and Heather Graham has rarely been lovelier. Marisa Tomei is appealing as the poor little rich girl who finds a leader in Mistry's character.
But I'll tell you - you have not LIVED until you've seen Michael McKean dancing Bollywood-style. The film is a great fusion of Bollywood musical with American-style romance. The few Bollywood dance numbers are so much fun. But keep your eye out for McKean as a porn director/casting agent/whatever.
Guru Gold Rush 
2008-01-27 - An Indian immigrant to New York with dreams of showbiz stardom finds an unexpected twist in his fate when he is mistaken for a swami guru at an upper crust society birthday. Lexi, a New Age devotee socialite, takes a shine to her young Guru and introduces him to her society crowd in need of spirituality. The gag gets out of hand when the Guru begins to fall for Sharonna, his secret quasi Kama Sutra teacher, while his fame starts to expose his real identity. A hillarious take on how one accidental guru found the American dream in a odd way.
I got Chills. 
2007-09-13 - I saw this film on a whim when it was in theatres. It is funny, charming, and far too innocent to be a huge success in America. I love the cast and would recommend this film to anyone with taste.
its one of the best but the rest is just history. 
2007-06-03 - it starts out to be just another movie but as it goes on you just get into it more & more until its really turns out suprisingly funny and really good.
