Shankar Guru: A Timeless Classic
Vashista-Bhat14 October 2023
Warning: Spoilers
In my personal view, "Shankar Guru" is one of the masterpiece film that I hold in high regards. It is one of my favourite movies of All-Time. This film, a brilliant mosaic of storytelling and exceptional performances, has etched itself into my memory with an indelible mark.

At its core is the unparalleled talent of Dr. Rajkumar, whose portrayal of three characters- Rajashekar, Shankar and Guru is awe-inspiring. Felt he breathed life into those three characters which struck a chord with me. T. N. Balakrishna's performance as Guru's foster father was outstanding, and Vajramuni and Thoogudeepa Srinivas shined in negative roles, adding magic and charm to the storyline.

The script, written by M. D. Sundar, is brilliant, and it grabbed my attention from the very first scene, and held it until the climax. This shows the richness in the narrative, pacing, and the storytelling. V. Somashekar's direction was skillfull capturing the essence of the narrative. The music has excellent songs and background score by Upendra Kumar resonated with me. The dialogues, written by Chi Udayshankar, added depth to the narrative, making each and every character memorable for me.

For me, "Shankar Guru" is a cinematic gem that deserves the highest accolodes. I rate it a perfect 10 out of 10, and declare it as a masterpiece.

Rating: 10/10 Verdict: Masterpiece.
