I. Summary of THE GURU film
THE GURU begins with Ramu, a dance instructor in New Delhi, who wants to move to America to pursue a better life and reaches his dream. He wants to be like Vijay, his cousin, who has moved there and told Ramu that he has already had a red Mercedes and lived in a penthouse apartment in New York City.
Having arrived in New York, Ramu is disappointed as he finds Vijay’s lies about having a red Mercedes and living in an expensive apartment. Vijay’s red Mercedes is actually a cab he usually drives and the apartment where Vijay lives is just a cheap apartment on the top floor of a cinema in Queens. Ramu finally works as a waiter in an Indian restaurant, but it does not run well when he makes one of his guests angry and he is fired by his boss.
Ramu does not give up to pursue his dream as he then joins an audition to
be a film star in a production house without knowing that it actually produces a porn movie. He finally gets the job as the main actor in the movie as Dwain, the director of the movie, likes his performance and that Ramu is suitable with his next film project. Ramu is really happy and tells his friends in the apartment that
he is now an actor. When the shooting day has come, Ramu has just realized that the film which he will act in is a porn movie, and it is also too late for him to pull back. He meets Sharrona, a sexy and beautiful porn actress, as his partner in the shooting area and then Dwain commands to start the shooting of the porn film. The shooting does not run well because Ramu is unable to reach an erection due to the crowd around him (the cameraman, soundman, Dwain, etc) and it causes the shooting to be repeated over and over again. Sharrona gives him some advices dealing with sex matters and Ramu finally asks her to be his private teacher of sex.
Sharrona agrees to be Ramu’s sex teacher as she wants to help Ramu to act in a porn film and that Ramu has promised her not to tell anyone about her advices. She does not know that Ramu has misused her sex advices by pretending to be a guru of sex and gives Sharrona’s sex advices to unhappy ladies, men, and couples. Ramu starts to pretend as a guru of sex when he is coincidentally asked to be a Swami Bu at Lexi’s birthday party. He delivers a speech in that occasion containing Sharrona’s thoughts about sex. The impact is unpredictable that almost all the audiences like his speech, including Lexi who is really interested in spiritual activity. This leads Ramu to have a sexual intercourse with Lexi and Sharrona agrees to be Ramu’s sex teacher as she wants to help Ramu to act in a porn film and that Ramu has promised her not to tell anyone about her advices.

He keeps lying to Sharrona until someday he feels so guilty of being a fake guru and wants a remedy. However, Vijay forbids Ramu to stop his intention as he also enjoys the luxurious life as Ramu’s manager and that he does not want to lose it very soon.

It makes Ramu upset and finally he says that she has done the same thing as him by pretending to be a good school teacher to Rusty and denying that she is actually a porn star. It makes Sharrona angrier and hates Ramu much more. Even, she does not want to meet him again.
