What critics compared Madeline to
Baby-faced star Mistry was born in Yorkshire, so any Bollywood-meets-Hollywood claim is a bit overstated-but American director Daisy von Scherler Mayer ("Madeline") mimics the feel and energy of Bollywood gracefully, even splicing Graham into a dreamy set piece lip-synching "Grease's" "You're the One that I Want" against a Bollywood-styled chorus number.
Director Daisy von Scherler Mayer ("Madeline") neatly hops between New York's strata of societies and the musical styles of Hollywood and Bombay.
Imaginatively directed by Daisy von Scherler Mayer (“Party Girl,” “Madeline”), “Guru” has all the right ingredients to take off as a rip-snorting comedy, but oddly never quite leaves the ground.
