Can vastu be corrected in a villa?

More than in a flat. A villa usually allows some internal change, and if you are buying before construction the layout can be planned around the facing.

Which direction is best for buying a villa in Gurugram?

The tradition favours north, north-east and east facings. In Gurugram the practical consideration usually matters more — how much afternoon sun the main rooms take, which drives how hot the property runs in summer.
