Whether you agree with him or not, Anurag kashyap is one of the most compelling Directors in India. His innate rebellious natures transforms itself onto the screen so effectively that he is constantly challenging any preconceptions that you may have. Don’t expect easy plots or ‘armchair’ cinema from him. His characters and nature of his scenes are so compelling that you cannot help but accept his argument for the moment, only to think long and hard about it when you get home. Gulal is such a film and coming so soon after his path breaking Dev D, presents a completely different side of Anurag, a political one, not seen since his terrific ‘Black Friday’, Argue amongst yourselves later, but on screen his scenes and characters are explosive.

    Gasp. The manner in which writer-director, Anurag Kashyap, has toughened is a one-of-a-kind Bollywood story. He doesn’t hold back punches, he has left his Prof Ram Gopal Higgins miles and miles behind, he probably knows more about the Bihar-Rajasthan badlands than any other living filmmaker (including Prakash Jha). And when he discusses man-woman relationships, it’s without apology.
