Guru (2007)

Born into a world of expectation in India's labyrinth of tradition and familial duty, Gurukant Desai, a schoolteacher's son, finds himself shackled by the chains of mediocrity and his father's towering ambitions. His childhood, a blurring dance of academic failures and paternal disappointment, is a stark contrast to the burning dreams of entrepreneurial success within him. As Gurukant grows, so do his dreams, pushing him beyond the borders of his homeland to Turkey. There, against the backdrop of a foreign land's vibrant hustle and bustle, he finds his footing in employment. However, the call of his homeland is too potent to resist. He returns to India bearing dreams of carving his own empire in Mumbai's pulsating heart. But the path to success isn't paved with gold, and Gurukant finds himself at the precipice of a daunting challenge - a dearth of capital. Undeterred, he finds a novel solution in Sujata, the enigmatic daughter of the affluent Jignesh. As he enters into a marriage of convenience to secure his dreams, Gurukant discovers a shadowy past lurking behind Sujata's demure facade. He chooses to turn a blind eye, driven by a singular motive - to ascend the ladder of success and win his father's approval. "Guru" is a captivating saga of ambition and aspiration, charting Gurukant's journey from a small village in Gujarat to the heady heights of Mumbai's business circuit. His meteoric rise isn't without its fair share of trials and tribulations. As the veil lifts, revealing the unorthodox methods behind his success, Gurukant is met with a wave of backlash that threatens to shatter his empire. This is a tale of dreams, destiny, and the lengths one man will go to make his mark. It's a story that uncovers the dark underbelly of success, questioning the ethics of ambition and the price of a dream. It's the story of Gurukant Desai, a man who dared to challenge the status quo, and in doing so, changed the course of his life forever.
