Big-ticket release "Guru" was accompanied by Manish Jha's "Anwar". While Ratnam subtly exposes the underbelly of the corporate world in "Guru", "Anwar" starring Manisha Koirala and brother Siddharth, is based on communalism.

By the look of it and the not-so-encouraging movie reviews, "Anwar" may be a commercial dud but will rack enough controversy to keep it alive in public memory.
