Bardlerx Strictly average movie
SpunkySelfTwitter It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.
Robert Joyner The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
Frances Chung Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
rahul singh I won't call myself the biggest fan of Anurag Kashyap but I am a complete psycho when it comes to watching Gulaal ,I can watch it any no. of times. Gulaal is a piece of art which dumb viewers won't be able to understand.Every single thing story, songs, acting and direction is what you can call exceptional. Kay Kay, Piyush, Abhimanyu, Raj, Aayesha, Aaditya and every other person shown in this movie has acted so well that you will stop calling Shahrukh,Salman and other so called superstars as actors.The Expression , Body Language and dialogue delivery of actors will definitely leave a mark on you.When I heard things about Gulaal like " Overrated" , "Big time Let Down" or "First 30 minutes was great and rest i was not able to understand" , Ya dude all you can understand is Farah khan's "Main hoon na".In short Gulaal is a must watch for a serious cinema lover others please don't even try as i said it earlier this movie is not for the dumb ones.I Love that Poem in Gulaal by Piyush Mishra Oh Re Bismil Kaash Aate Aaj Tum Hindustaan, Dekhte Ki Mulk Saara Kya Tashan, Kya thrill Mein Hai , Aaj Ka Launda Yeh Kehta Hum To Bismil Thak Gaye, Apni Aazaadi To Bhaiya Laundiya Ke Til Mein Hai.I think the last line would make more sense if replaced with " Apni Aazaadi To Bhaiya Laundiya Ke bil(hole) Mein Hai" ;)

Chrysanthepop Anurag Kashyap's 'Gulaal' feels like a modern day Shakespearean story. There are shades of 'MacBeth', 'King Lear', and even 'Othello'. Set in modern day Rajasthan, it portrays the crime world and the battle of the Rajputs for power. Kashyap is a very competent director. While his 'No Smoking' may have been sheer disappointment and his 'Dev D' a mixed baggage, his 'Black Friday' is proof enough of his capabilities. With 'Gulaal' he exceeds all expectations. He doesn't shy away from showing that he's influenced by many classics such as 'Pulp Fiction', 'L.A. Confidential' and 'Maqbool' to name a few. The director tells this original story of mindgames and fight for power with conviction. As the story unfolds, uncovering dark and disturbing themes, the characters' expose more of their psyche and the tension keeps building on. The depiction of contemporary Rajasthan and the college culture appears very real. The art direction is quite wonderful and the background score is solid. The soundtrack is also excellent especially the satirical lyrics of the songs.Kay Kay Menon is fantastic as he delivers one of his finest performances. Aditya Srivastava, Piyush Mishra, Deepak Dobriyal, Ayesha Mishra and Jessy Randhawa are superb in their roles. However, Raj Singh Chowdhury, who plays a key character doesn't exactly convince and his dialogue delivery is quite poor. Mahie Gill is impressive in a smaller role.Needless to say, Anurag Kashyap has reached his peak and I hope he continues making more movies of this quality.
bogomips-0 Nice thrilling, dark humored, fictional cinematic experience. This piece of fiction tries to cover politics of power. Director picks up a small concept of college-election to demonstrate his criticism over present political ideologies. Good work even on small things. Like Prithvi bana, he is big fan of John Lennon. His sarcastic poetry is really cool. The place where Dilip and his roommate stays. Wall posters of Che Guavara, Bob marley. Hello-there = Hell-here. The bar is best concept I have ever seen. Democracy Lager beer, Capitalist Rum, Putin Vodka, Communist Manifesto whiskey- All these are shown as alcohol labels. Ransa is damn good character. K K Menon is perfect in his role as usual. Both Jesse and Ayesha's character gives serious note to this movie. Director's treatment to all characters is very fair. Criticism: The movie was not well promoted. Poster and trailer is misleading. Initially I avoided this movie just because I got an impression as any regular concept. I think this is begging of Quentine category of Indian cinema. Full of dark side and sarcasm.
