`Guru`- Going great guns!
By Moviebuzz | Tuesday, 16 January , 2007, 18:02
Mani Ratnams Gurus Hindi version is going great guns in his
home town Chennai and in Kerala. The Tamil version of Guru is above average in
the towns of Coimbatore and Salem, but in smaller centers it is a washout. In
Chennai, for the Pongal weekend (Jan 12 to 15) the Hindi version has grossed an
awesome 98 percent at Sathyam Cinemas, an impressive 92 percent at Ega and 90
percent at Mayajaal . This proves that the Mani brand is intact and he has a
huge fan following in Chennai.
And in Kerala, at Ernakulam Sridhar Guru touched the magic 100 percent, and
in Tiruvananthapuram Sri Visakh a record breaking 98 percent for the weekend
(Jan 12 to 14). Please note that in Kerala, Dhirubhai Ambani on whom the film
is based is on is truly a legend. A lot of people in the state grew rich by
investing on the Reliance shares in the late 80s.
At Ernakulam and Tiruvananthapuram, the film has been trimmed by 11 minutes.
The boring post interval celebration song Ek Lo Ek Muft
has been removed along
with Madhavan proposing to Vidya Balan including the smooching scene.
Now with Abhishek- Aishwarya engagement announced, Guru is going to be the
biggest gainer, as advance booking for the film in Chennai has gone up.
