Gulaal --Heady Cocktail of College Politics,Power Play and Innocence Lost

Anurag kashyap deserves all the accolades.

If "No Smoking" failed to deliver he comes back with

Dev D which I thought was his pinnacle of creativity.

But he comes back with "Gulal" which is the most unique experiment with Indian College politics.
It has Brash,Honest,Hard-hitting visuals,
with each characters having their own shades .

The haunting backdrop of Rajasthan and shade of "gulaal"
in the scenes of movie sets the mood.

But it will be worth mentioning the poetry,the polictical-sarcasm laced lyrics,the punch-lines just go ahead
and accentuate the underlying message of the movie.

Few characters have shades which have been hithertho ventured
in any Indian movie like reluctant-brash Rajput Ransa,Power hungry Kiran,Cocooned Pariah Anuja ,the shaky main protagonist "Dilip" or bumbling "Prithvi Bana"(who incidently is also
reason for that haunting music and fiery lyrics) .
KK as usual is a consistent performer,I was captivated right from the start when he deliver the acerbic speech.

The movie is laced with obsenity no-barred which make perfect
sense with the mood of the movie .
I can go on and on.But let the Brevity prevail.


Hats off Anurag ..Keep 'em coming

Get busy living or get Busy Dying

Shawshank Redemption

Ellis boyd "Red" utters the Gems

Andy incarcerated for 20 years in Shawshank should loose all hope..
give away..

but instead Andy refuses to give up..refuses to die and utters a gem

Although after 40 years of confinement

Red utters: Let me tell you something my friend. Hope is a dangerous thing. Hope can drive a man insane.

Andy Dufresne: [in letter to Red] Remember Red, hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever dies.

Damn it Andy You are all in my head.Let Red rule for now.He makes sense.
