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
