Shubhra Gupta The Indian Express 04/26/2019
It's [Anurag Kashyap's] most ambitious film, and the combination is potent enough to give us a film which spills over with compelling characters, superb set-pieces, stirring lyrics, and terrific acting. Go to Full Review
Anuj Kumar The Hindu 01/24/2018
Watch Gulaal for a director breaking free from clichs of mainstream cinema. Watch Gulaal to know the unholy ways of our political setup. Go to Full Review

Adarsh T @Adarsh0903 Apr 28 and reach the culmination. Besides, the confrontation in the end, between Kay Kay and Raj Singh Chaudhary, could've been shortened. Too much dialoguebaazi, even after Kay Kay has been shot. Also, if the film talks of today's times, how come the police are shown as passive watchers to all the killings, abductions, murders, et al? Even the media, which is hungry for the smallest of story, is absent. The writing could've been tighter. Rajeev Ravi's cinematography is first-rate. Dialogues are acidic and the expletives are difficult to absorb after a point. Piyush Mishra's lyrics are thought-provoking. The film is embellished with supreme performances. Kay Kay is in splendid form. Raj Singh Chaudhary has the talent. Aditya Srivastav does well, but deserved more footage. Piyush Mishra is excellent. Abhimanyu Singh leaves a strong impact. Ayesha Mohan is top notch. Mahie Gill is perfect. Deepak Dobriyal is first-rate. Pankaj Jha is effective. Jesse Randhawa gets no scope. On the whole, GULAAL is interesting in parts. The film may appeal to those looking for a change from the run-of-the-mill fares week after week. Its business will be best at multiplexes of metros.
