    Guru (2007)

    This film (based on the life of Reliance founder Dirubhai Ambani) did a good job of showing the problematic interplay between business, the press, and government in 1980s India. I also don't think it was a clear-cut ode to capitalism either. Had its annoying moments, but amazing performance by Abhishek Bachchan and another good AR Rahman score!

    Quoted: A villager, Gurukant Desai, arrives in Bombay 1958, and rises from its streets to become the GURU, the biggest tycoon in Indian history.
