Guns & Gulaabs

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.

I'm not a fan of Indian films or shows. They tend to be over the top bollywood style or cringey and remedial.

But this is like 'White Tiger', a more realistic feel to it.

It's corny, colourful, simple, a bit much at times and cheesy in parts. But it's also gripping, funny, detailed, well written and acted. The characters are all likeable or villainous.

The seven episodes flow easily and there's plenty of (sometimes obvious) twists. Overall it was very enjoyable. Its more of a lads style production, but fans of worldly art will like it.

Eventough it's in English, the accents can be a bit hard to understand at times.

'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 ,,,

One sentence to describe this series that it feels like you are watching something different and living those moments. That 90's era vibes and cast giving their best and living on their rules is something else. And screenplay that was marvelous. Hats off to Raj and DK for this show. It was really a treat to the eyes. Never felt boredom through a long watch. Last 30 minutes of this show was really something else. One of the best ending that this series deserved. However, sad that no more season of this epic show will happen. It ended that way. Last but not least, the casts were outstanding. Thanks Netflix for this one!
