Once again Anurag Kashyap comes with hard-core cinema. We should applaud Anurag Kashyap to make up Gulaal at our face. The person, whose 1st movie is yet not been released. Second flick takes 2years, and Gulaal takes 3 years. But it is his determination and courage that he not to give up, against green grass and red roses cinema of India. I am from Jaipur, and I was in Jaipur when Gulaal was filming in Rajasthan University campus. I thing it is 1st Indian cinema which show the hard-hitting reality of student politics. Many people don't know that some of the stories are related to Jaipur. Like story of Anuja is related to J C Bose Hostel (of Raj. University) rape case. Smash into Jadwal gang & Rajpoots is actually between Jat & Rajpoots. But censor board did very fine job to mitigate social conflict. Movie having many stories. Each character is very unique and more precisely say that each one is rigid and unbending at his place. Characters are speaking in dogmatic way. Dukki Bana shows the frustration of Rajpoots, lifestyles of Rajpoots after independence. He thinks that government of India cheated them since 1947. He wants to get back Rajputana form GOI. RANSA impressive look & dialog delivery, hated his father and live life with own identity. Sibling KARAN & KIRAN are DASHI PUTRA fighting for recognition and father's title. Role of flute man, PRITHVI BANA and his dancing partner give classical touch to movie. The lyric of song, " AARAMBH HAI PRACHAND…" boil your blood. Even the movie is through out spellbound audience, but when you comes out an question immerse in your mind," YE DUNIYA AGAR MIL BHI JAYE TOH KYA HAI?"
