Gulaal: Power, Politics, Revolution:- Perfect Kitchri

After the success of Dev D, Mr. Kashyap gave the Indian audience a perfect taste of power, politics and corruption all in all a pre-summer treat in form of his latest venture “Gulaal”. After having seen the promotional trailer of the film one could have expected the movie to be an entirely different venture from the director’s past projects (such as Black Friday, No Smoking, Dev D).
You would be well aware of plot of the project, as I have delayed myself from updating my blogs (due to few reasons), so I would not get to the plot, neither would like to discuss it as everyone would have their own outlook on the plot, (else you would be bored while reading the blog).
But the plot does reflect and tells us about the guts of a fattu lover who proves to his superiors that he does have balls. The college politics once again gets attention, the frontier and crave to gain power by any means is just the sole objective of the plot.
This project of Mr. Kashyap has some of the fine performance by Kay Kay Menon and Aditya Srivatava (it’s again a delight to see both of them share the space on screen in Mr. Kashyap’s venture after Black Friday), hard hitting dialogues, good locations and music that perfectly creates the required taste that the audience would have expected.
However, during the film it did feel that you are watching Mr. Kashyap’s venture, it felt more like Mr. Bhardwaj’s venture. It could be due to the fact that we had not seen such projects from Mr. Kashyap’s kitty or the impact of Dev D was such that I failed to connect, what ever it may have been it definitely is and will remain Mr. Kashyap’s venture which has again hit the right chords among the audience. But I just wanted to ask the Director Sahib a question (fortunately I have never managed to find an answer to it myself either) “Why are you people in such a hurry to end”. While you begin perfectly and than end in such a rush that the second half of the plot becomes too tight to digest. Please slow down so that we audience can connect as to what is happening, I do want to remind you that we, the audience do not have the ability to think as the script writer or director, we see and understand what you show us not how you want us to see.
Anyways all in all Gulaal is yet another success gem in Mr. Kashyap’s crown, so all cheers to you Sir, Keep up the great work, looking forward to your next venture.
