It doesn't take a mystic to figure out where this simplistic but charming romantic comedy is headed. But it still packs plenty of pleasant surprises. Saying goodbye to monsoons and hello to the melting pot, Delhi dance instructor Jimi Mistry heads to NYC to become the next
John Travolta. But he gets a quick dose of reality when he unwittingly lands a part in a porno and befriends sexy starlet
Heather Graham.
She gives Mistry lessons in the art of love. When Mistry starts dishing his newfound bedroom knowledge to
Marisa Tomei and her swanky friends, he becomes the guru of sex. Mistry and the film have an underdog charisma and a light sense of humor manages to put a fresh spin on some of the clichés. And, oh, those Bollywood-style song-and-dance numbers are just too fun. It may not look like much at first but it's okay to believe in
The Guru.
