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.

The 90s set up transports us to that era. Specially the love letter with perfume n Bryan Adam's song.
The dialogues r crude n hilarious.
"I cud crush u under the weight of my balls".
Another best part is the villain with the mullet hair who seems to be another Jason from Friday the 13th who never dies.
Rajkumar Rao as Tipu is top notch. The guy deserves big budget movies. He is a terrific actor.
His movie Shahid is in my top ten list.
The final showdown between Aatmaram n Tipu is hilarious. The show has a terrific twist n has lots of well developed characters.
The amulet seller guy shud have been given more footage.
The only thing missing was the inclusion of over the top violence which is required in such dark comedies.
A new study states that people who appreciate dark humor may have higher IQs, show lower aggression, and resist negative feelings more effectively than people who dont.

'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.

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.

The duo of Raj & DK is celebrated for their expertise in crafting interesting characters from scratch, and they are not only well versed in their interplays and discourses but also understand how to make those personalities more relatable to the audience and their latest collaboration with Netflix, "Guns & Gulaabs" is no exception!
We have got a bunch of fascinating individuals with different quirks and traits, and all of them have been given space and time to evolve, albeit to varying extents.
Actors like Rajkummar Rao and Adarsh Gourav had captured most of the spotlight, whereas in Dulquer Salmaan and Gulshan Devaiah's case, things have not gone all smooth and sailing, and they got way less screen time than they merited, given the quality and capability they possess as actors.
And the main reason behind this unjustness was that the creators were too busy playing around with half a dozen sub-plots all moving parallel to each other, which wore them down and, subsequently, their whole execution!
Underplots are critical in storytelling, but having too many of them could jeopardise the entire equation; you have to figure out and respect the limitations.
That being said, I did appreciate the show overall, and that's mainly because of the humour that came organically; rather than coming off superficial, and for that, I would like to applaud the writing as well as Rajkummar Rao because he was sensational with his comic timing; he was without a doubt the highlight of the show.
