Its happy days for Maniratnam and Madras Talkies. Guru is set to complete 50 days in theaters later this week and it is still looking good for a few more. It has been quite a while after a Maniratnam film has been declared a major hit in almost all release stations.Yuva, his previous film had managed to please

the critics and connoisseurs of cinema but had not been a hit in trade terms. This time however Mani and his team got it right. From a powerhouse cast (Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai) with good star value being added by the support cast as well (Madhavan, Vidya Balan, Mithun Chakravarthy), a sizzling item number by Mallika Sherawat and some beautiful music by A.R.Rahman, the film had everything to bring people to theaters and if you go into a theater to watch a Mani film you never come out disappointed. The challenge is to get the people into theaters and Guru has managed fabulously in this respect.
The revenue collected has already touched the 40 crore mark and with competition being very dim, it seems capable of stretching things quite a bit. So that is another 50 for Maniratnam, the hit maker. Trade pundits doubt the prowess of the film to get to the 100 mark. Let's hope it does so.
