Guns & Gulaabs

'Guns & Gulaabs' is a Dark Comedy, Crime, Thriller Series. It's created by Raj & DK. In the whole series, it reminds some old memories like using telephone, old style haircut, dress, tape recorder, music and etc things. The Directors creates Nostalgia, which is the USP of this series.

Suman Kumar, Raj & DK written by this story. The story structure is not totally new but the Directors presented in a unique way. So nice to see the whole series. Also used an old fashioned background score and some famous old songs which is nice to hear.

Talking about performances, Rajkumar Rao (Paana Tipu), Dulquer Salman (Arjun Verma), Satish Koushik (Ganchi) Gulsan Devaiah (Atmaram), Adarsh Gaurav (Chotu, Jugnu), TJ Bhanu (Chandralekha), Manuj Sharma (Bunty) are the lead actors in this series. Each and every lead actor did the work in a fantastic way. Everyone deserves a round of applause. Dulquer Salman debute his webseries career by this series. A special mention to Satish Koushik who won our hearts by his last performance. Other Supporting Actors portray their characters very well. The Child Actors, Tanishq Chaudhary, Krish Neel, Suhani Sethi and Araham Sawant are shined in this series.

This web series come out of the same rat race of web series with its film making ,the direction is done very well that they know what they want u to show ,the actors are top of line with saurabh,Rajkumar,dulquar, gulshan e.t.c and a outstanding performance by child actor who plays character of gangaram ,,the climax is also different from all as it doesn't leave a clue for its next season as it give every character a interesting ending,,,,,,I am not to sure about negative as they are different but I can also not as satisfied to give it a 10,,,,it doesn't have any intimation scenes but contain strong language and blood ,,,

As an ardent admirer of Raj & D. K's work, including the often overlooked 'A Gentleman,' I couldn't contain my anticipation upon learning about their latest endeavor, 'Guns & Gulaabs.' Boasting an ensemble cast featuring talents like Rajkummar Rao, Dulquer Salmaan (DQ), Gulshan Devaiah, and Adarsh Gourav, the stage was set for an intriguing and gripping narrative. However, as I reflect upon the seven-episode series, my thoughts inevitably lean toward what might have been.

It's important to clarify that 'Guns & Gulaabs' is far from being a disappointment; it commences on a strong note, and the initial episodes manage to capture the viewer's attention. The climactic episode, replete with twists and adrenaline-pumping thrills, further showcases the show's potential. Regrettably, these engaging moments are sporadically interspersed, leaving much to be desired during the in-between segments.

While the humor occasionally hits its mark, there are instances when the jokes falter, contributing to an overall sense of inconsistency. The pacing of the series, in particular, felt lackluster and, at times, ponderous. It's within these stretches that the show loses some of its allure, struggling to maintain the viewer's engagement.

Despite these shortcomings, the performances shine with brilliance. Every member of the cast brings their respective characters to life with commendable effortlessness. With such a talented ensemble at the helm, the strength of the acting was practically a given.

The unmistakable Raj & DK touch is perceptible throughout the show, offering glimpses of their signature style. However, the consistency needed to elevate 'Guns & Gulaabs' to the echelons of a classic appears to be somewhat elusive.

Summing up, my verdict rests in the realm of decency rather than exceptionalism. While 'Guns & Gulaabs' certainly warrants attention, it falls short of reaching the pinnacle of distinction. Nevertheless, it remains a viable choice if you're seeking a diversion to pass the time.

This show, when written on paper, must've been a joyride for all people involved. Every aspect of this piece was taken care of and I can say I was satisfied. Rajkumar and everyone were amazing but i truly have to give it up for DQ who just delivers constantly. Only downside is some lag scenes and some illogical scripting but it is a comedy show so it does make sense. The comedy was well delivered and the action was above par. I liked the depth they gave to some of the characters and how every side story in the show was tied up to the best of the directors ability but I felt interested in every aspect of the show and for a Netflix piece to do that to you, the director had to have grounded you in every minute and I can say I was hooked. All in all, would recommend and loved every bit of it.

Raj and DK deliver again, this time with a dark-comedy gangster drama. While the overall story isn't anything new, the way it's been written and told was very enjoyable.

Well shot, good acting, good sound design and there's enough gaali-galoch if you enjoy that. Those of you who like nostalgia, from old songs on audio cassettes to F. L. A. M. E. S., there's enough of that as well. It was good to see Satish Kaushik on the screen. The students in the show were quirky. Casting DQ and casually weaving in some Telugu in there felt refreshing, leave it to Raj and DK to begin getting inclusion right.

The story is slow and takes its own sweet time (but has the said dark comedy dispersed throughout) until it hits the fan in the 7-8 combo episode finale. That's when the stories and different plotlines come together and you're like "Ooooh, that's what's going on!" There's ONE lose end that I think they didn't tie, but other than that, this was enjoyable. I wonder if a 3-hr movie version would have been nice, but I don't know what you'd cut. It's watchable on the sides as well, in case you don't have the time.
