Guru: Amake Sobai jaane (Bengali: গুরু : আমাকে সবাই জানে ; English: Master: Everyone knows me) is a 2003 Indian Bengali-language vigilante gangster action film co- written and directed by Swapan Saha. Produced by Nispal Singh under the banner of Surinder Films, it stars Mithun Chakraborty in the titular role, alongside Jisshu U Sengupta and Rachna Banerjee, while Tapas Paul, Kaushik Banerjee Laboni Sarkar, Locket Chatterjee, Kalyani Mondal and Subhendu Chattopadhyay play supporting roles. The soundtrack of the film was composed by Babul Bose, while background score was by S.P Venkatesh. It revolves around a middle-class rickshaw driver of Kolkata named Raja, who always believes in non-violence and keeps himself away from any troubled situation. But all on a sudden to save his family from a notorious criminal named Kedarnath, he has to reveal his true identity from past, that of a dreaded gangster named Guru, which was hidden to his family as well as people of the area, to whom he was known to be a normal and frightened person.
Guru marks the first of the frequent collaborations between Mithun Chakraborty and Swapan Saha. It was an all time blockbuster at the box office with a long run consisting of 80 week in theatres and was enlisted to be one of the highest grossing Bengali films of 2003.
