Trivia:
In the movie there is a scene where Mahie Gill's character asks Deepak Dobriyal's character if she resembles Tabu, which is a reference to the actress Tabu. This is because many people in the industry at first glance have complimented Mahie Gill that she looks so much like Tabu, and even the actress Tabu herself has commented this. So Anurag Kashyap wanted to put this idea in the movie. more

Lost Glory and Misguided Beliefs, 15 March 2009
8/10

Anurag Kashyap may well be the fountainhead that lets Bollywood finally get back on its feet. After the indie movement in the 80's, the Shah rukhs and the Salmans took over....and thus followed years of mindless duds.

Gulaal tells the story of a Rajput boy losing his innocence in the murky world of politics and betrayal. Interwoven with this are tales of deception, greed and apathy for mankind.

What happened in Rajasthan years ago makes it a perfect backdrop for this tale and the clever use of lyrics also let Kashyap rant about all that is going wrong in the world.

Gulaal, much like Kashyap's other film makes the viewer think long after the movie has ended. There are no definite endings and characters cannot be labeled as good or bad.

Even if you are a fan of mainstream bubblegum Bollywood, this movie deserves a dekko for the performances alone. Kay Kay has never shone brighter, Abhimanyu Singh leaps ahead of the pack and the Raj Singh shows a lot of promise.

I like my share of masala ficks, but this isn't Bollywood...this is Indian Cinema at its best....a must watch
