Guru.............guru bhai aa gaya re!!!

master bachchan, take a bow............................you have finally arrived........i noticed a hint of brilliance in AB jr. in this movie...........BUT, still miles to go before u sleeeeep.................

i was reading somewhere that this movie is "loosely" based on Dhirubhai's life..........well, heres the news...............whoever has read Hamish McDonald’s Polyester Prince - the rise of Dhirubhai Ambani can make comparisons............whatever is shown in the movie is covered in this book........
battle with Ramnath Goenka (Indian Express), war with industrialist Nusli Wadia of Bombay Dyeing and Reliance's travails during the V P Singh government which almost brought the business house to its knees and other issues like licensed capacities, export manipulation and share switching...........incidentally, this book was banned in 1998 by the Indian government as the book did not show dhirubhai in good light.....only dhirubhai could've pulled it off with his tweaking and capturing political and bureaucratic power..........and thats exactly whats shown in the movie....

a good movie indeed...........
