While at times draggy, 'Guru', the one & only Oscar-nominated Malayalam film so far, is a socially relevant film trying to handle a socially sensitive subject - blind adherence to religions resulting in losing sight of God. Rajiv Anchal's conceptualization is clever, with perfectly set similes relating Raghuraman's visions to his realities. While the special effects were juvenile, the costumes & makeup were commendable & right up there with any similar Hollywood endeavor.
