He learns to keep accounts, basics of opening a trading company,
the language used by the traders and business men like equity and IPO
and further more. And by this time people have realized that
GurukantDesai, has an uncanny knack for the business and trade.

then (Head of stock exchange) take this shipment and get clothes
stitched for everyone in your family. When the Head gets panicky, he
finds Guru’s place and requests him to take away the shipment. Guru
has his condition that Open the market and I will do so. But the Head
resisted. Guru says that he won’t take no from him. He made the Head
back away and open the stock exchange buiding the very next day. This
was Dhirubhai’s strength too. To find such a way that he can demand
the opposing party to fall on his knees and plead, and that point
Dhirubhai just just did what he said otherwise to the party but first
Dhirubhai’scodition and then opposing parties. He won’t take a no, and
the tremendous courage, that no one in the market produces the best
polyester and that too at a reasonable rate. DhirubhaiAmbani was the
first person to introduce polyester in the country.
Yes he aimed for the Sun and will do anything for it. His own
strength, courage, humbleness, shrewdness is the strength of a
common man. When we look at Dhirubhai’s photo his face is
illuminated by the cosmic radiation coming from within himself who
ends up a rags to riches millionaire. Back home, his father, discouraged
him, to go to Bombay and do business. His business empire was so huge
that the general body meetings used to take place in stadiums!!!!! And
in the end of the movie, Guru is shown in a stadium addressing his
workers.

himself. He shuts up and merely listens. And on the fifth day when the
public is also invited, he finally speaks up. The judges give him 5 min. He
has been questioned about the illegal methods taken up to expand his
business. He said that yes he did try the decent way. But the decent
way didn’t work out after innumerable trials and then he started the
illegal way. He doesn’t know the legal matters. All he know is how to
make polyester, dye it and that too buying products at a very cheap
rate and producing A-one quality polyester.

introduce equity in share market. Dhirubhai is an example if the famous
saying by Swami Vivekanand, “ARISE, AWAKE AND STOP NOT TILL THE
GOAL IS REACHED.”
The whole nation goes against him not because he is spreading his
business at a horrendous speed through illegal business tactics, but
because no one in the country neither the politicians, cream of Indian
aristocrats, bureaucrats has such courage and self-inspiration as
DhirubhaiAmbani has. Dhirubhai’s own father discourages him.He
knows that he is born to change the face of the Indian economy and all
he dreams ofis, his own vast business empire- RELIANCE.

the precise use of the Indian resources in order to be the biggest Indian
business tycoon in his life time. In his lifetime whatever
DhirubhaiAmbani has achieved in 70 years can be achieved in say 30 to
40 years in any of the foreign countries. But he chooses his homeland
for the RELIANCE Empire and makes it a reality even before we all can
realize that he has done it. The point where we Indians lack is that we
focus on our negativity. A majority of the us, talking about the large
middle class or the lower class just do labour and die, and do not even
realize that their inner soulful voice can be as strong as Dhirubhai and
they can be at the level of Dhirubhaior even greater than that. All we
Indians do is boast about our rich culture and heritage and curse our
present governing bodies, saying is that there is dirt lying everywhere
around the corners of the street and the cows are at lose and so are the
dogs and all the politicians do is to fill their pockets and not worry
about us. A majority of an Indian life is wasted in this and whatever is
left is filled by the astrologers, parot readers and Angels.
Actually God has given us all the equal strength. That strength is
fully utilized by Dhirubhai and that’s why everyone talks of him. This is
the simple truth of our lives!! We blame others for us not being on the
top. Well, my friends, lets empower ourselves and strengthen our
strengths and turn our weaknesses into strengths eventually by taking
the full charge of our lives in our hands and focus on merely our goals,
life, career and then we will no more be called a Third World Nation.
The title to Deepak Chopra’s famous book is that You Can Win.
Well no one pushes us towards the winning side unless he himself is
fully aware that he has taken his life in his hands and led it in apositive
direction with full self awareness of his strengths and weaknesses.

When a child is born, the parents are overjoyed. And they enjoy
with him his childhood. Now when comes in the higher standards of the
school, there is tremendous pressure from parental side that he must
study hard and become an Engineer, Doctor, Lawyer. All the time he is
compared to the person who stands first in his class. But the reality
might be something else. He wants be a Fine Artist or a Performing
Artist, or maybe Yuvraj Singh, or A.R. Rehman. In doing something that
he doesn’t want to do, all his life he turns into a depressant and
becomes negative about his life. Because he cannot bear the fact that
his inner soulful voice is being killed by his own parents. Eventually, the
kid may become a Doctor but will fail in the world outside and then the
parents think that he is a burden to them. Why so much of control
then? Why not give him the freedom to choose his own path and let
him be happy?
If the boy, goes his way then also the parents take it that he is not
considerate of them and is going against their wishes for they are
scared for his failure. Well but the boy has already seen the success and
is working hard towards his goal. I mean why should he live like his
father whom he respects and loves a lot but doesn’t want to opt for the
same career as his father wishes? All the parents have to say is that this
their house and he will have to do what they say or else he may leave
because he is the burden to them. Then why give him the life? Parents
are running away from their responsibilities and then they want to
blame all the negativity on their children. And when they grow up in a
marriageable age they are marred to the girl whom they chose because
she comes from a highly effluent family and both of their horoscopes
match?? What a wonderful example the parents have set for their
children?
7
At the age of 15 or 16, both the parents can talk to their little boy
at his level and make him aware of his strength and weaknesses and
ask him to take his final decision over career. Do whatever you can if
fall down we will pick up and love you because you are our son and we
love you from the day we decided to bring you in this life, honey is
what a boy will love to hear and then see the progress of the child. Such
a boy will be more conscious about his career and will always be happy
whether he becomes a rock star or an actor. Love is the unconditional
feeling of acceptance and respect that we all chose to give our children
to make them better citizens. Only then, the children will respect us
and give us the position of their lovely Gods and love us for the rest of
their lives. They are trained to listen to their inner soulful lives and are
slowly and lovingly guided towards the serious life from the playful life
of their childhood. Such children are bound to be better parents, are
positive in every sphere of their lives. Parents explain them everything
maybe innumerable times at their level so they realize and dream for
their ultimate success.

relationship of enjoyment and equal partnership between her husband
and her spouse. Why is she blamed for being a girl? Why shouldn’t she
have an opinion of her own? When she has a different opinion than her
parents, they get scared because such girls will always fight with her in
laws. And if she doesn’t argue she is killing her inner soulful voice. Still
in India, the birth of girl child is a curse. I mean what have we really
gained after 63 years of Independece? Thank God, SardarVallabhbhai
Patel is not alive such a girl child. The lower class people and the middle
lower class people have now started educating their girls upto
graduation. But in the villages it’s the same story. Girls are not even
allowed their playful childhood days. People keep on trying until and
unless they have a boy and then they curse all the little fairies and if
they don’t bear a male child they are thrown out? Why? Why? Why?
And in upper middle class people say that not to give that girl child so
much freedom otherwise she will not listen to her parents and so
parents feel like disowning her. Very rarely do I hear parents saying I
have a lovely daughter and she is the best I can have.

level which is where we all want our children to reach. Help them out
to enhance their strengths to perfection and turn their weaknesses into
strengths too. All this is possible when parents talk at their level, tell
them stories from which they enjoy the playfulness of their age and yet
get the message that they have to excel till perfection level. Give him or
her all the support and trust of yours and trust me they will be
DhirubhaiAmbani in their own field of comfort. The only way to
empower the future generation is that we have to be there the
strongest uncanny support of their lives. Make them realize that they
can be as perfect as us. Just be with them. Support in whatever
situation they are in and whatever they want to do. Explain with great
patience and give them their own space once they enter their later
teenage.Children coming from such backgrounds can reach to the stars
easily. They can handle the each and every problem tactfully and they
can get away with anything in their lives. They listen to their inner
soulful voice and follow it to that level where they will be the Gurus of
their own field. That’s what the movie is all about that, be the master of
your own field and reach the top before anyone reaches there. We
have to make our children realize that they can be DhirubhaiAmbani,
Sachin Tendulkar, Mani Ratnam or A.R. Rehman. Each and every
relationship is a successful one may it be with a friend, or the spouse or
just a stranger met once while travelling. That’s how the saying goes
that,”YOU ARE LUCKY IF YOU HAVE GOOD PARENTS, FRIENDS,
TEACHERS, MENTORS, COLLEGUES AND PEERS.“ Bet our country will
progress at much faster rate and be one of the super powers of the
world, dreamt by SardarVallabhbhai Patel, The Iron Man of India.

In this world, some people get good parents, friends, teachers, or
mentors or get to know themselves when they are really young.
Children having a god rapport with any of the above, make their lives,
by listening to the above people.
When nothing works out for our progress then, we need to calm
down, empower ourselves by listening to our inner soulful voice and
how to strengthen it that voice so much that we can be on the top of
the world. This is all what Dhirubhai did all his life to strengthen his
inner soulful voice by hardwork and dream the ultimate successful
business empire he wanted to build. He used it eat it, dream it, love it,
drink it so that he gets a high to work harder the next day to make his
dream come true. He knew that the way to his success is within himself
so all he did was to dream about the empire and he did find the ways
leading to the creation of the enormous business empire.
Today, yes, maybe though this movie, or even before that people
didn’t like the illegal methods Dhirubhai used to expand his business,
but even then his rivals have a positive opinion about him and praise
his guts.

to guide him that’s it and he will help himself out. And within no time
we will hear that he has achieved a new milestone towards his ultimate
goal. To ask help is one of the most negative things to do in our society.
If we want help, then we must ask politely. And wait for our turn to get
the help because there are other people in the queue before us. But
both in the movie, the character Gurukant Desai and DhirubhaiAmbani
asked people to guide them and not help them out because they
believed in the saying “GODHELPS ONLY THOSE WHO HELPS
THEMSELVES”.DhirubhaiAmbani has this tremendous fire within him
which is his inner soulful voice, and day by day he fuelled it so much
with his hard work. He found answers to the questions that he asked
that he reached his ultimate dream despite the heartbreaking efforts
done by politicians, the nation and jurisdiction.
These songs really empower us. They are composed and sung
with the idea that someone in India will make it to the top of the
country by self-inspiration and self-empowerment.
12
Dhirubhai is a self-inspired and self-empowered person. And thus
he did not wait for some outer agency to motivate him. This is very well
cinematographed in the character of Gurukant Desai, in this movie.
13
Words have the strength of changing the world for us, the only
thing we have to do is to believe in them. Our thinking power is so
strong that success comes to us. Our words and our thoughts will never
fail us. As, they come directly from the perfect soul within us. We are all
a part of God. Hence we can all be as perfect as we want to be and be
on the top of the world. All we need to do is give our words meaning,
our unsaid thoughts and unsaid emotions words, believe in them and
work towards them to make it the biggest reality of our lives. We all
need to love ourselves much more than our family, friends, relatives,
colleagues and others. We are all very beautiful from inside. Just let
that beauty get absorbed in our physical body and then see the
difference that we can make for ourselves. When the soul’s beauty is
enhanced, automatically people around us, get positive vibes and also
want to be as beautiful as we are.

Dhirubhai, never ever compares judged or humiliated himself no
matter what the whole nation, media, politicians, buearocrats or
aristocrats said about him. All he knows is that he is constantly proving
himself better than what his last performance is. He sharpened his skills
that are required to where he is right now. The only person he proved
his, himself. He finds it rather stupid not to prove himselfand to prove
the whole nation so that the nation proclaims him as the biggest
business tycoon or the rags to riches millionaire. He knows that this is a
rat race and if he leaves his inner soulful voice behind, he will not reach
the top at this speed. So he heard it and let the whole world aside and
conquered his own dream and the success did come to him. He carried
himself in such a majestic manner knowing that, that he is the master
(Guru) of his own business. This is where the name of the movie comes
from. DhirubhaiAmbani is the GURU of the largest business Empire in
India- Reliance.

an art in itself. Yes there is some masala added to make the movie go a
big hit on the commercial front but overall I enjoyed each and every
part of it.
The beauty of this movie is that, that Mani Ratnam has directed at
such a level that even a layman in art can get the message across.
Playing Guru’s role is a heavy task on Abhishek Bachchan, but wow this
man has proved himself that at least in this movie he is the GURU. I
guess that all his family members must be very proud of him. He has
done a fantabulous job and proved himself that he is the best.
I have seen this movie at least 15-20 times from start to end. Yes I
know each and every dialogue that is delivered, where, how and in
which circumstances. The reason behind seeing such a movie is that, I
get to empower myself. And by fueling my desire to become something
big every time I see this movie. I want to self-inspire myself so I am at
the top may it be Architecture, Writing, Singing, Photography or a
Homemaker.
Each and every Bollywood movie isn’t perfect without music and
dance. The lyrics for the songs of the movie, has been designed by none
other than Gulzar - the master of the Hindi poetry.
The art of mixing the Indian Classical Vocal music along with the
contemporary music is what, A.R. Rehman is a Guru of. Fantastic range
of music has been designed and catered to us. And also the credit goes
to all the playback singers, SunidhiChauhan for Maahiyaa, Shreya
Ghoshal for Barso re, A.R. Rehman for Jaage, TereBina and Hariharran
for Aye Hairate and Ek lo ek muft.

people talk a lot about you then believe that you are progressing more
and more daily. This is the same thing that Lal Bahadur Shastri’s father
said when asked by the press after his son became the Prime Minister
that now that his son will have more enemies then before. This means
that Lal Bhadur Shastri, has done good social work for the benefit of our
country and so obviously people will feel jealous and have enmity
towards him. And because he is now the Prime Minsiter, he will keep
on doing social work with full authority in the benefit of the nation.
That’s the Guru, the actual Dhiru Ambani is in his real life.
Salutation to this great rags to riches millionaire. Wow!!! What a
masterpiece we watch and everytime we get inspired and empowered
by ourselves!!!!
