"The Guru kicks off with a neat joke about cultural cross-pollination and burbles along with an infectious, agreeably silly sweetness. When von Scherler Mayer blends Bollywood-style musical numbers into the action, The Guru seems completely in thrall to Ramu’s gentle willfulness, while also being able to poke gentle fun at it. The Guru is one of the nicest surprises in the annual dead-of-winter movie drought... comedy that manages to be consistently funny without putting anyone down is too rare to ignore." - Salon
