Gulaal - A Must Watch

If ever there was a director who believes in making films which will be called "Cult" in the years forward then it has to be Anurag Kashyap.

Was anxiously waiting to watch "Gulaal" after seeing "Dev D" and to be very fair it did not disappoint me. From the start to end the movie is based on murky dark world of student politics. The treatment of the director does not make the movie a art movie but a gripping movie with lots of twists and turns.

The music of the movie as expected was very unusual( not in the same league as Dev D) but neverthless a album worth listening. The music forms a integral part of the movie and integrates well with movie. Piyush Mishra desrves full credit for the movie and he potrays a important character in the movie as well.

The cast of the movie is awesome with Kay Kay Menon leading the pack, a strong performace as expected from him. All the other characters are also very well interpreted and well etched out.

Wont get into the details of the story as it has a lots of twists and turns incorporating student politics, education, ragging and other pet peeves.

Watch this movie if you want to watch something which is out of the ordinary and exceptional. Take a bow to the director for trying to tread a path out of the ordinary. Wish we had more directors like him.
