What happens

Guru is a 1989 Indian Hindi-language action film directed by Umesh Mehra, starring Nutan, Mithun Chakraborty, Sridevi and Shakti Kapoor. The film was a huge commercial success. Incidentally, after 14 years, Chakraborty worked in a 2003 film of the same name in Bengali, as well as a 2007 film of the same name, also in Hindi, 18 years later. The film's plot is based on Kaakki Sattai starring Kamal Haasan, a 1985 Tamil film. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
