	Actor Jimi Mistry uses new roles for self-discovery
		Mistry, who lives in London with his wife and 3-year-old daughter, also related to the family dynamics and issues of cultural identity in "Pink." Mistry's mother is of Irish descent, his father is from India and he says he's "still trying to work out who I am after all these years.
		Mistry first gained prominence in "East Is East" (1999) with his role as a rebellious son who challenges a hard-headed Pakistani father, played by the venerable Om Puri.
		A challenge for Mistry is to be recognized by filmmakers for his charm and talent alone -- and not to be categorized according to the color of his skin.

		The story is that of Alim, Jimi Mistry’s character and who finds himself displaced to England after landing a half hearted job in his industry and a whole hearted love in Giles, played by Kristen Holden.

	Touch of Pink Movie Review at Hollywood Video (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		From Nuru's purchase of a suit that pays homage to her idol Doris Day to Alim and Cary's self-absorbed monologues while he and Alim watch his old movies Suspicion and Gunga Din, this is a movie for people in love with the movies, particularly Hollywood movies of a certain era.
		At times, the whole confection seems destined to fall apart, as there are moments that are too cute by half, only to be rescued by the grounded performances of Mistry and Mathew as the conflicted son and mother who are more alike than either cares to admit.
		Jimi Mistry and Kristen Holden-Reid have great chemistry as Alim and Giles, a couple celebrating the anniversary of a relationship still slightly precarious because of Giles' wandering eye and endless list of exes.

		Along with most of the original cast, at first Mistry was left out of the film but the entire cast appealed both to the writer and the director and eventually were given back their roles to play on screen.
		As the heartthrob rebel Tariq, Mistry was given the chance to shine and he didn’t disappoint.
		Mistry’s mother is Irish Catholic but although his father is from India, Mistry had never visited the country before he went there during filming for The Guru.

	The Guru movie Review at The Z Review UK movie review
		Ok, so what's the premise of the movie, Jimi Mistry an aspiring actor gets mistaken for a Guru, mistakenly ends up on a porn movie and uses Heather Graham's philosophy to blag his way as the Guru.
		Jimi Mistry is the standout here, he plays most of the movie with a great sense of wonder and is great at carrying the comedy moments, of which there are many during the movie.
		The Guru is not just about comedy however, It does make you feel for the characters, I felt for Heather Graham's character who used a philosophy to get through her porno career, while still being as wholesome as apple pie with Randy her fiance.

		Alim (Jimi Mistry), a gay photographer and film buff of Indian ancestry, lives in London with his partner Giles (Kristen Holden-Ried), far from his mother Nuru (Suleka Mathew) and family in Toronto, who know nothing of his sexual orientation.
		She has a tongue sharp enough to cut glass and a lifetime of role-playing to sustain the impression of a stronger backbone than she actually possesses.
		With the best lines and comic antics left mostly to MacLachlan and Mathew, Mistry ("The Guru") still forges a fine and funny performance as a confused guy with his heart in the right place.
