Sumit Bajracharya "Gulaal" starring too many unknown faces like Raja Singh Chaudhary, Abhimanyu Singh, Deepak Dobriyal, Jesse Randhawa along with the brilliant Kay Kay Menon, is unusually bold for a fictionalization based on real events. Using the plot on pursuit of power, betrayal and hypocrisies, the movie explores those corners that have never been attempted before. The remarkable thing about this Anurag Kashyap directorial is the way different layers accumulated into one solid drama. Presenting diverse characters form John Lennon fan Piyush Mishra to a minor role of Tabu fan Mahie Gill, every character is well refined. Anurag Kashyap has shown the enthusiasm in each scene with experimental cinematography like continuous use of red filters and yellow light.SPOILER ALERT:: Initiating from the college ragging, the movie takes several turns into various interesting issues. The scene of Ransa mocking Karan after being kidnapped and Karan killing him is terrific. Also Raja Chaudhary was stunning in a particular scene giving an awkward speech. But the final scene where blinded by his love for Kiran, the violent and aggressive Dilip reminds me of Travis Bickle getting outraged in the final scene of the "Taxi driver".While each individual performance is of high standards, Kay Kay Menon shines as Dukey Bana, while Raja Chaudhary showed the innocence of Dilip very naturally. In a relatively small role, we have Piyush Mishra, as the eccentric poet Prithvi Bana successfully showing his presence. Also he gave the music for the movie which complements the movie in every way.In the end we get a dish served with various character and cooked by the brilliant Anurag Kashyap who knows the world he's showing making this movie an engaging watch. A huge impact of theater can be seen in the movie due to Anurag Kashyap's theater background but still it's a great show that shouldn't be missed.

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.

t_ketan This movie reaches far from what an ordinary Indian movie can be.I congratulate Anurag for this. He has the vision to understand this kind of movie... not only that but to canvas them.The scenes like "KYA MAI DARPOK HU?" "USNE TERI MAA SE SHADI NAI KI", "SARFAROSHI KI TAMANNA", " KARAN: RAJNITI JANTE HO?", "POORI FORCE KE SAATH AYA HUN"," KIRAN KO BULA KE KYA KANYA DAAN KARVAYEGA?" JUST imagine we got to this level...Exceptionaly extraordinary songs which introduces you to the heart of the story like "beedo", " SAHER HAMARO SOYO THO..", " .. Rana Ji mare ..." unbelievably outstanding.. marvelous.Thanks Anurag.... and keep up.. I hope you keep on doing like this.. please don't change..::)
