i am crazy abt the movie in spite of all its faults.

'Law karne aaye hoge' is not just an acerbic dialogue flung at Dilip: it's a state of being for a section of an ever-floating student populace. GB,

For this class of movie-challenged any movie that has a nihilistic ending wherein everyone gets smoked is totally awesome. I liked Gulaal quite a lot. These are the badlands where anything can happen, and casual brutality and shattering violence, is just part of the game.

final verdict ? Paanch, No Smoking, Gulal and even Dev D are testimony how the 2nd half kinda doesn’t work. Agreed gulaal has a lot of flaws.

Kashyap totally blew it in the second half. Cast: Kay Kay, Raja Singh Chaudhary, Abhimanyu Singh, Aditya Srivastava, Piyush Mishra, Deepak Dobriyal, Ayesha Mohan, Jesse Randhawa, Mahie Gill. Nit disputing it. He’s gone on record with the fact that he had to cut 45 mins of Gulal to be able to release it. he just placed hsi perspective, read screenplay, and out came his best work. Some of what i felt is put out there.

And now, in the times of ‘globalisation of India’ many may not be able to relate to it.

Director: Anurag Kashyap. Don ji – ab itna bhi chane ke jhad pe mat chadhao Anurag ko.

The plot is provided by student politics of a university and a fictitious secess…

even dukke bana had kind, friendly and humorous side to him. But Control yaar. @Shaswat: dude let’s just say AK proved his point from the way you reacted when KK shoots the “blue chap”. The rest of the film's palette is muddy, filthy, sweat-stained and pockmark'd. did your parents give u a name anonymous? I thought Irfan Khan movie, Hasil which had similar plot of mixing college, caste and politics. I liked it, I wrote my review. I think he has given a virtuoso performance and stands out amidst a very impressive cast. Genius 1: It didn’t appeal to u because you have never lived in Rajasthan. Dil Dosti Etc., touched some of these issues, albeit very superficially and the focus was different.

This is a narrative you follow with morbid curiousity, and Kashyap's made sure you can't take your eyes off the proceedings -- even if you may want to. Never before in Hindi films have I seen ‘love’ dealt this way, the fact the “girls” can actually take the “guy” for a ride and not give a damn could not have been better shown. Agree with the assessment, Gulaal looks powerful, plays powerful, and has the basic ingredient of AK forte: his writing skills. My views exactly. Dukey Bana (Kay Kay) is an amoral zamindar readying a personal army to further the cause of Rajput pride.

The same treatment is meted out to the excellent Mahi Gill. Anurag Kashyap has faced seven long years and a tremendously uphill struggle to make Gulaal, and it is heartening to see the stylish auteur throw himself headlong into a project this grounded. But u have to admit, the movie had its brilliant moments… Abhimanyu Singh to name one of them… i though he was quite brilliant…, Also, how can u forget… Jack and Jill went up the hill, to fetch a pail of bho****ke…:). Disgruntled movie fanatic. Haha ! Other than that it falls at too many places in trying to become a masterpiece. And this is the first time I am disagreeing with you. As for the end, lets just assume that the director, like Kay Kay Menon's wonderful character, had a bit of a Democracy hangover. GB’s taste in cinema is not the Gold Standard for anyone and ditto for others. There is a fundamental problem with the way women are treated in Gulaal's script. I have a few points to share. I have till date NOT seen any movie by AK. The entire discourse has been civilized. One look around her parlour shows us posters of young Tabu [Images] even as the song she chooses to play on her stereo is Vijaypath's Ruk ruk ruk. That panwaala scene has developed a cult following.

However what Kashyap’s nihilism does is that it makes him predictable—- you know more or less as to how the story arcs are going to end. But where “Dev D” elevated itself to stratospheric levels was through its characterizations—-so rich in texture and detail that you felt the urge to run home, get a DVD, pause each scene, reflect and then pen down your thoughts in a short character-synopsis for each of them. The leitmotif that runs through Anurag Kashyap's latest film is red—the colour of revolution, and passion; of love and bloody betrayal. btw, what was jesse randhawa doing in the movie? The take on Karan and his “final victory” was also a highlight and the way Karan in Gulaal ends up exactly the opposite way the “real” Karan did in Mahabharat. No one has trashed GB.

It was Optician who wrote the following line: After all “Dev D”  from the same director and based on a plot as old as Saratchandra was quite spectacular. Please read what AK has to say on Gulaal. So far as I am concerned Savita Bhabhi likes the movie and that settles the matter for me :). So that means Gulaal has to be judged by a different standard?

It remains a wonderfully watchable political drama, and a very well acted one, but the second half tragically leaves you underwhelmed when it should have taken you to a high. Panwaala scene is a sheer masterclass from DD, I mean just looing at him in that scene I was telling my gf that this guy is genius, next day I read raja sen review in rediff and saw him mentioning it and today its u. good that it has not got unnoticed.

The leitmotif that runs through Anurag Kashyap's latest film is red—the colour of revolution, and passion; of love and bloody betrayal.

This is perhaps the most howlarious part of AK. “Very nicely put comment, exactly what all of us who like Gulaal probably wanted to tell GB, we loved Gulaal, but we love ur blog too”. It explores themes such as pursuit of power, quest for legitimacy, perceived injustices and hypocrisy of the powerful.

@INK, Gulaal, named after the vermillion powder Rajasthani revolutionaries plan to use as masks, is a compelling watch with some quite superlative performances.

I absolutely loved the climax and when it all got over, I could not applaud because I was just too stunned! Here’s one man who sticks to his guns in the face of every adversity and I think he deserves support from the educated elite for his long swim-against the tide. may be it didnt appeal to u because you have never lived in Rajsthan.. then u might have seen all the characters ex.

Piyush resisted moving to Bombay for years, but I’m glad he finally made the move. Yet it finally emerges just like the story of most of its many protagonists, a tale of unfulfilled potential. As someone mentioned above, Haasil was made on a similar theme. Also it was noticeable how the neon lights changed from ‘Hello There’ to Hell* *here. he tries to impose darkness by making every dialogue every frame mournful and sombre.

Here is a link to his blog that explains why. I did not realise movie had so much fan following, agree with GB, after first 45 minutes movie lost the plot.

How ragging can destroy a life is one of the most powerful threads in 'Gulal'.

But when it comes to being a story teller, falters in the 2 hr space. It comes from a director who main-lines anger and this is his angriest film.

Ardhnaari represents power and deceit (hanuman and women).

What i really likes about the movie was the way the reality was portrayed – the horrors of ragging, the college politics, the hunger for power. Change ). You totally pwned Gulal! Apparently you also dont share Longfellow’s aversion to ultra-pessimism. I am going to see my first AK movie this weekend. The classic AK argument.

A teacher and a student are stripped of their clothes, and their dignity, and locked up in a room by some louts, masquerading as students.

Also the ending was quite jarring and almost disconnected from the rest of the film, but whether that was an accidental hash-up of a Shakespearean tragedy or a deliberate ploy of the director is debatable. ‘you know more or less as to how the story arcs are going to end.’ – hardly for me.

That by itself, is nothing commendable, but who can accuse AK of just going with the flow?

Anurag Kashyap evidently does not share Longfellow’s aversion for ultra-pessimism.

Ultimately however, I accept the charge you have levelled against me and other AK fans – I applaud AK and watch his movies for the same reasons why I rooted for open-source software developers against Microsoft; because much as I like mainstream Bollywood fare, I have to appreciate the spirit of anyone who dares to stand up against the might of a well-tested system and challenges the status quo. I dont know whether those of you who liked the movie have seen it once or more than once. betrayal and death.
