**SPOILERS BELOW** I frikking love how they wrote JuniorGanchi. I couldn't get a read on him throughout the series and the way he interacted with his friend seemed like he had romantic feelings for him. They finally explored that fully and my mind blew away. Brilliant character-writing.
I absolutely loved this show. And that finale is a further proof of the duo's masterful storytelling. It's one of the best episodes of any series I have ever seen. Everything from the acting to cinematography to the sound design was great.
My most favourite part was creating different subplots for each character from the same situation during last episode . That was simply outstanding. Rajkumar Rao’s acting was amazing.
The swag the character #Atmaram has is something else all total, and then dulqer's charm, rajkumar's innocence and kumar gaurav's confusions and dilemma, it's actually a good story. And the dark humor this series have is amazing. The small gags in between the scenes are humorous and witty.
I am just amazed at how we Indians, on ONE side, go crazy for the hype and tend to watch it for entertainment but, on the other side, we end up judging them too badly on the basis of our personal biases. The same thing with this show!
I actually binged it till 3 in the night and was pretty much into it when it ended, but the flaws just kept becoming clearer to me as the time passed. It has its good parts, but not really that much of a great show, above average at best.
One aspect of this series I liked was, everyone was a supporting character in this. You can't pinpoint any lead characters, the lead character was the plot itself i.e. delivery of opium. Everything and Everyone revolved around it.
I don’t know why it is not applauded as it should be. I absolutely loved it. The 80’s and 90’s theme was the charm of it. I loved how Gulshan Devaiah’s character Atmaram creeped me And at the same time kept me on edge. The comic timings of Rajkumar Rao is commendable as always. And the storyline of children was also engaging and funny. It is a total package of old Bollywood vibes which is missing in today’s Bollywood movies.
Top 5 points to watch this series frm my view. 1. The character arc of Rajkumar Rao is impeccable. 2. The shot of where Tipu point gun at Atmaram balls. Camera work is outstanding here. 3. The grey shades of Arjun. 4. OMG, hands down perf of Jr, Ganchi, esp at climax. 5. Entire 1:20 hr of last episode.
The main highlight of the shoe in my opinion was the mindbending work of the cast. Yes,it took its time to develop the premise but just after the fourth episode the wait was all worth it. Also,Gulshan Devaiah gave the performance of his lifetime in the last clubbed episode. Raj and DK are so brilliant technically that even a mediocre storyline is overshadowed by a mindbogglingly wonderful screenplay. I still feel this is their best work till date. Yes,the subplots were lesser comparatively but the main narrative was focused upon very well i guess
Honestly i would much prefer a slow burn story instead of web series butchered on editing table. i am honestly and constantly amazed by performances of Gulshan Devaiah in such black comedies like Afsos and G&G but still he is relatively unknown to general audience. For me he is the MVP. His presence is almost haunting and the aura around him created by Raj and DK is very unique for a killer its mix of fact and fantasy with a pinch of mythology and people's paranoia. At this point i am half convinced that he is probably a devil or the vampire in this universe. Cannot wait to see what Raj and DK would do with Citadel.
Wow. I'm on episode 4 but stopped it because Junior Ganchi is such a tera character I get scared 😅 it's a good show and superb dialogue and acting up until episode 4. I keep laughing out loud 😅
Salman: Aur...Aur kyaa chal raha hai ? Rajkumar: Aur ? Bas Mera badhiya chal raha hai sab. Aap sunaao ? Salman: Idiot, warehouse me kyaa chal raha hai. 😂
Whatever drawbacks that the series may have Raj and DK have a particular knack of making audience binge watch their series in one go with almost a thin plot and many twists and turns. Their stylized used of Rashomon effect especially during the last episode was the best thing in the series according to me.
i binged it yesterday, and i think it's absolutely amazing, the humor and the subtle things which add up, the characters, especially the 4 cut atmaaram are too good!! also the atmosphere and world they created is just awesome, you feel like you're there. A unique masterpiece which will leave you amused and also laughing
Spoiler ahead; The end credits of the last episode where adarsh reveals his true identity wearing salwar is epic. The way adarsh walks and the scene was truly exceptional.
What is there to not like in the show. No unnecessary nudity and violence. Pure humor, brilliant acting...i mean everything is there. I personally loved it. It's a great re-watch too.
The characters were written beautifully and equally played by the actors. Special Shoutout to the guy who played Gangaram. The way Raj and DK were just playing with the characters was fun to watch but sometimes it was stretched. Still it's in my top 5 list of Series released this year. Right now Raj and DK are the face of Indian OTT Space. How do they pull it off every time?
His self aware emotional rant with the teacher and as so well performed! I wished the school dynamic did stick better but it more than made up for them being in the madness in the last episode
(𝓒𝓱𝓪𝓷𝓭𝓻𝓪𝓵𝓮𝓴𝓱𝓪 𝓽𝓮𝓪𝓬𝓱𝓮𝓻) was a complete wasted character. Expressions and emotions portrayed were totally disastrous. 🤮 She had a stony expression throughout the whole show making it hard to watch any of her scenes. 😫 She is complimented for her beauty but her acting skills are so poor. 😒 Even a pebble could have dropped in more emotions than her.
The best thing was that it is based in 90's , the 90's nostalgia really works Gulshan Deviah is my favorite from the trio, he is a treat whenever he is on screen...... He just killed it
Raj and Dk are one of the fewest directors who could put in humor which is both practical and situational,which is rare..as a whole guns and gulaabs feels like a perfect Crime Rom-com...❤
I simply loved it. After a long time I experienced the level of humour which GOW had and that too in a non Kashyap project. For me it was pure dark comedy at play in this series!
As an 80s kid, I'm easily able to co-relate to the 90s nostalgia & lost in the middle of G&G. Cant compare with previous ventures of Raj & DK but this is very different & artistic. Aman's music was refreshing. For a change I couldn't watch the series at a stretch, thanks to too many sub plots :( I had to take a break & watch finales. Overall its an above average attempt 👌
99 was their early venture which taps into that 90s lifestyle. I remember watching that movie and found the comedy very refreshing. Almost a decade later I came to know it was made by RAJ&Dk and it all made sense. 😅
I love it when movies or series reward the patience of the viewers investing in the subplots, and G&G does it really well where everything comes together in the end to create an epic climax. 100% agree that the casting is on point!! I would say the series is a must watch and full of entertainment. Also the dark humour just hits different.
I haven't watched it yet But, one thing I am assured of is that Raj & DK won't disappoint. Even a flop web series of them is still watchable if compared to today's mainstream cinema
@@kvm6 some guys still live in mediaeval Bollywood era, they still adore dancing around trees, hero bashing 100 goons single handedly, item songs etc. The fact is to enjoy this kind of cinematic work, one needs to have a taste. That's why I say, the majority of Indian audiences aren't mature enough for Netflix.
Gulshan Deviyah is his role as atmaram was impeccable. Though he had a short screen time he put a lasting impression . We can have more about his origin and motivation and traumas in the coming season instead of him just being a contract killer.
a mustwatch for all 80s 90s people..i absolutely loved this series.. the trip down memory lane to the good old days that it so clinically serves is just unbeatable, seeing campacola contessa ambassadors yezdis padminis and the school kids doing what we did back in the day, this is just an experience like nothing else..
The show is quirky, funny and a mixtape of nostalgia. Yes the climax is a bit underwhelming but having it be marinated for over 2 days, Any Dark-Comedy is great if it has a recall value, like you won’t laugh out loud while watching it , but then suddenly through the course of the day , something reminds you of the show and you can’t stop but find it hilarious , and Guns and Gulaabs perfectly does that, also my fav characters are KamarKut, Jaadugar and Sunil😂.
It actually happened the opposite for me. Binged it till late night and was quite satisfied by it but as the time has passed, it's hard to find stuff that is very memorable about it for me apart from Gulshan and Rajkumar's character.
@@raja-jl9os ye ek symbolism bhi ho skta h, kyuki uske papa ne bht ladki paida ki fir ek ladka paida huwa kyuki usko uski responsibility ek male ko transfer krna tha, usko lgta tha female responsibility handle nhi kr paegi. But chote ne responsibility ache se nibhaya nhi, iske liye wo ldki bna gya last me.
Couldn't help but smile when Gangu mentioned Flames and he would change Love to Marraige soon......aahhh those school days ...how often we used to play with names of our crushes and to make sure w3 get the desired result we tried with all permutation combinations of First name last name middle name nick name etc.etc....until we landed altest Love if not Marriage! #90skids
Brilliant one... I don't even think there was something missing in it. Completely blown away by the performances of almost everyone. Rajkumar was the best no doubt, Dulquer was apt for the part, Adarsh was just the cherry on the top of this hilarious ride. Aatmaram and his phone booth timing was next level, can't stop laughing guys 😂
I think every other thing in the show just has overshadowed Chhota Ganchi's character. His character has depth. He just portrays it so well, from being totally scary and a problem whenever he goes to his best friend's house to crying like a baby lying beside his best friend's dead body, to being totally deadly in the last damn monologue. Totally loved his character. Although it's the second most fav character in the series. First is still 4 cut atmaram 🤯😂
This series is a full on entertainment. I haven't had this much fun watching a series lately. The kids were too good in their roles especially that kid who played Gangu.
The series had a great start but I felt somewhat disconnected mid-series. But the last episode was spectacular and totally worth the wait. I watched the entire series in one-go and never felt bored. The cast was awesome, Bunty and Atmaram being my favourite. Love the director duo they never miss.
The first four to five episodes should have been a lot lesser in duration and more crisply edited. It would have eliminated the drag. The last episode was brilliant. Rajkumar Rao was brilliant as well. Just loved him.
Regardless of this review, I am Filipino and absolutely loved this show! Made me care about the characters, and I appreciate the culture and comedy in here. This is one of the most memorable TV shows in recent time, away from the bland shows that are made today.
Adarsh Gaurav was the best of the lot. He was so nuanced and so conflicted and so very good. I agree that Raajkunar Rao felt like he came straight from Ludo , ready to do anything for his lady love. Dulquer Salmaan and Shreya were a disappointment after Chup. They were fab in that movie, and here they were just meh. The humor and the storyline quality were inversely proportional to each other.
This was a solid first season. Good depth, dark comedy, filled with top-notch action and a hell of an ending. Superb series after Kohraa and Scoop from Netflix.
I really enjoyed the series, though missed the original fast pace storytelling of Raj and DK shows (something which we all expect). Rajkumar Rao's work was hilarious and looking forward to having a 4 cut Atmaram's Spinoff. 😄😂
I think the genre like dark humour needs the masala of mysterical sub plots but and Raj and dk have this in their previous series but in this series they not get that much
I enjoyed watching the series. Why should it have the structure/drama family man/farzi has. The subtle and quirky humour is a wonder. It doesn't move fast in the middle but it's good to watch.
I am currently watching the show, so far i loved that it has the nostalgia 90's feeling .. and i loved to see a show where all the characters main or sub characters have personality to go through .. its is getting missed in our mainstream shows ..
All the minor characters were great too, Sukanto (Rajatava Dutta, a stalwart in Bengali cinema), SP Mishra, Gangaram (Tanishq Chaudhuri), Kamarcut, The jadugar
How is it even possible to criticize this masterpiece...I am a fan of this series...I laughed out loud watching this..I out and out loved it...Dulquer Salman and Rajkumar Rao are at their best❤ Reminds me of school days..Those born in 1985..will click with the plot, presentation, acts..
Really appreciate how you credit the work of behind the scene maestros like production designers, set designers, cinematographers, costume designers etc. Need more of this from film reviewers!
I did get bit impatient in the middle like you said, and felt that the main characters were only showing off and not doing much..but the last episode was the ultimate pay off which made up for the slow pacing...being a 90s kid, its the amazing 90s world they had made and Rajkumar's endearing character that made me keep going till the end
I really think the dirst three episodes and all the characters are introduced in such a way that in later episodes you are engaged in the world that you don't mind a slight drag, but the finale is like one the best this year no major cliffhanger . The humuor is really good and work for me. Overall I really enjoyed it
Super fun to watch series with a great cast great storyline. And a satisfying concilusion. Most subplots came to a close however I still feel Lekha being turned on by Tipu's violence is a facade to extract information from him and she might just be a super spy in disguise of a teacher. That would've been a nice twist.
Last year Vikram, this year Jubilee and now Guns and Gulabs - I cant remember any other shows in recent past that lingered in my brain so long !! Masterpiece it is. There is a very famous Bengali writer named Sirshendu Mukhopadhyay whose series of adventure stories was very very popular amongst 90s kids. We all grew up reading those lighthearted surreal adventures set in small towns or villages. He presented those stories in such a unique pseudocomic style that even his most villainous characters seemed to be cute to some extent. Same feel I got in GnG. ❤
Your commentary on the lighting in the series is spot on. Being an OTT release, and watching it on my laptop, it was kind of offputting to squint and trying to adjust the brightness to watch it better, especially the fight and shootout scenes. Being a family man fan, this was a good story and series, but could have been better! And yes i did finish it. :)
I dont know about reviews and others' opinions, but this series had worked well for me..... the way slowly the characters are developed and the conclusion is epic. I loved it. ❤❤ i hope more such hilarious and dark comedy series are made in India.....
On ep 05 now.. I storngly feel Raj & Dk still retains their dry humour which is keeping me glued. Yes it might get lagging at some point but it got back to track.. And the casting ensemble is awesome
Guns and Gulaabs is definitely not a Home Run per say but it is not a dud as well. In the End I thought...that was great but it was missing something...I guess mixed reactions came from that feeling... Never the less it had amazing performances and typical Raj&DK Humour which mostly lands....P.S - I really want to know backstory of 4cut Atmaram and how he became The Flash 😂😂
One word awesome.. the way duo (Raj & DK) mixes humor with life-threatening or tragic events is just crazy.. you will definitely have laugh out loud moments.. like when Tipu Paana's friend is murdered and he accidently puts fingers on the wrong Suneel while looking at photograph😂 .. Some of the episodes in between lacked the same charm as 1-3, but finale compensated it. Overall, it was a good watch 😂..
@TriedRefusedProductions 🤣 also when Rajkumar Rao starts singing love songs when the boy tells him he needs to listen to write a love letter. Overall, it was a fun ride.
We finally have a fargo like idea in India, sleepy towns experiencing chaos due to an outside factor is the best best form of drama/thrillers, Fargo s1 is still the pinnacle but this was an amazing addition to the genre
Idk why people think it is slow, I am a regular anime viewer and probably why I am used to having long character set ups . Also during the dark hospital shootout scene I think Raj and DK wanted us to feel and see what the characters are seeing. Loved the series
I just loved the show felt a perfect nostalgic show like Stranger things. Its a laid back show which actual suits this show PPL r expecting accelerating show which wouldn't suit this show. I will give full marks for this show
4 cut atmaram character is just awesome.. Gulshan just nailed it.. it's a milestone Panna Tipu/ Rajkumar is hilarious The school kids are just awesome Well done Raj & DK
For me raj and dk,,, baas naam hi kafi hai.. N here the icing on cake is satish kaushik, rajkumar rao, gaurav, doluqer salman, gulshan and many others.. Made it a paisa vasol watch.. Enjoyed it
When jr ganchi was looking at his friend's wife's jewelry we all thought he was either flirting with her or he was taunting his friend but it turned out it was a genuine compliment 😂❤ these writers played with our minds ❤
@@flivver2527 yeah.. writers are foreshadowing him by moustache removing and bangles of this frnd wife , and also he wears always colourful 🏳️🌈and layer dressing.
In a scene Dulquer's character gives his daughter a book by Desmond Bagley - the golden keel ! Readers will know that the book and this series have a similar internal theme . In the book it was gold - the main guy operating with two other guys and here it's opium
Honestly I loved the show. It took me back to the retro timezone. Few moments and scenes me or others can relate themselves. Honestly not a fan period drama but this was different. Raj ND DK rocks. BTW I only found 7 episodes netflix didn't provide the 8th episode please share the episode link.
The success of the series is known by the fact that the actors are known by their character 😊.. in this case they have just build the plot.. next season will have more fun!
The action sequences were perfectly fine btw. The dimly lit scenes added to the atmosphere & created tension, which was awesome to view. The intensity in the scenes felt apt as well in proportion to their time & place in the plot
I lovedddddd the show. I saw it in one go and now watching again. the acting is superlative. every single thing has a nuance.. imagine the credits, who does it like that.
Comedy was top notch. Even in the climax - when Chandralekha asks Bunty about his "gun hand" that had me rolling. I do feel some plots were left open ended, like the school kids, Gangu didn't inform the other boys the extra classes offered by Chandralekha. I felt since the show started with a scene of the 3 boys it would end with that also. Overall was a fun slow burn Hindi heartland 90s nostalgic fun ride. With so much attention to detail. Do you think there could be a sequel or a spin off?
Adarsh Gourav aka Jr. Gandhi was the biggest surprise in the series. Hands down for his performance. Although it was predictable if u follow the details. .☺️
I guessed it right the first time I saw Jugnu walk (Adarsh Gaurav has a different walk) but I dismissed it as over-analysing on my part. Later, after watching his obsession with his friend, I thought maybe He is Gay. But then Him complementing his wife by noticing her jewelry and Mehendi, I was like We're back folks 😂
i loved it most after so many years bollywood arise.............its entertaining , quite humour......and i hope people will love this interesting drama

a mustwatch for all 80s 90s people..i absolutely loved this series.. the trip down memory lane to the good old days that it so clinically serves is just unbeatable, seeing campacola contessa ambassadors yezdis padminis and the school kids doing what we did back in the day, this is just an experience like nothing else..
The show is quirky, funny and a mixtape of nostalgia. Yes the climax is a bit underwhelming but having it be marinated for over 2 days, Any Dark-Comedy is great if it has a recall value, like you won’t laugh out loud while watching it , but then suddenly through the course of the day , something reminds you of the show and you can’t stop but find it hilarious , and Guns and Gulaabs perfectly does that, also my fav characters are KamarKut, Jaadugar and Sunil😂.
Climax is underwhelming? Climax is the best part of whole series?
This is what I wanted to say about the show, but couldn't find the right words. Glad you said it 👍

It actually happened the opposite for me. Binged it till late night and was quite satisfied by it but as the time has passed, it's hard to find stuff that is very memorable about it for me apart from Gulshan and Rajkumar's character.
@@raja-jl9os ye ek symbolism bhi ho skta h, kyuki uske papa ne bht ladki paida ki fir ek ladka paida huwa kyuki usko uski responsibility ek male ko transfer krna tha, usko lgta tha female responsibility handle nhi kr paegi. But chote ne responsibility ache se nibhaya nhi, iske liye wo ldki bna gya last me.
Surely this is not a masterpiece ...
but definitely brilliant in patches.
Couldn't help but smile when Gangu mentioned Flames and he would change Love to Marraige soon......aahhh those school days ...how often we used to play with names of our crushes and to make sure w3 get the desired result we tried with all permutation combinations of First name last name middle name nick name etc.etc....until we landed altest Love if not Marriage! #90skids
Brilliant one... I don't even think there was something missing in it. Completely blown away by the performances of almost everyone. Rajkumar was the best no doubt, Dulquer was apt for the part, Adarsh was just the cherry on the top of this hilarious ride. Aatmaram and his phone booth timing was next level, can't stop laughing guys 😂
I think every other thing in the show just has overshadowed Chhota Ganchi's character. His character has depth. He just portrays it so well, from being totally scary and a problem whenever he goes to his best friend's house to crying like a baby lying beside his best friend's dead body, to being totally deadly in the last damn monologue. Totally loved his character. Although it's the second most fav character in the series. First is still 4 cut atmaram 🤯😂
plus one. he was my favorite
When Chhota gaanchi Keenly Observing their frnd wife mehandi, earings, saree😂(small spoiler)
Yeah... something was amiss all throughout.. and the way he breaks down in one of the scene made you feel ki kuch to alag hi hai.. @aaaarish
@aaaarishDimag ud Gaya Mera jab reveal Kiya tha.
This series is a full on entertainment. I haven't had this much fun watching a series lately. The kids were too good in their roles especially that kid who played Gangu.
It was an amazing experience to see the ensemble of cast, era, dialogues, set design, performances ...nd the total of the series... Loved it ❤
The series had a great start but I felt somewhat disconnected mid-series. But the last episode was spectacular and totally worth the wait. I watched the entire series in one-go and never felt bored. The cast was awesome, Bunty and Atmaram being my favourite. Love the director duo they never miss.
The first four to five episodes should have been a lot lesser in duration and more crisply edited. It would have eliminated the drag. The last episode was brilliant. Rajkumar Rao was brilliant as well. Just loved him.
Regardless of this review, I am Filipino and absolutely loved this show! Made me care about the characters, and I appreciate the culture and comedy in here. This is one of the most memorable TV shows in recent time, away from the bland shows that are made today.
Adarsh Gaurav was the best of the lot. He was so nuanced and so conflicted and so very good.
I agree that Raajkunar Rao felt like he came straight from Ludo , ready to do anything for his lady love.
Dulquer Salmaan and Shreya were a disappointment after Chup. They were fab in that movie, and here they were just meh.
The humor and the storyline quality were inversely proportional to each other.
This was a solid first season. Good depth, dark comedy, filled with top-notch action and a hell of an ending. Superb series after Kohraa and Scoop from Netflix.
I really enjoyed the series, though missed the original fast pace storytelling of Raj and DK shows (something which we all expect). Rajkumar Rao's work was hilarious and looking forward to having a 4 cut Atmaram's Spinoff. 😄😂
Both Family Man and Farzi slow down in middle episodes.
Finished it this morning. I thoroughly enjoyed the series. Its a binge watch. Rajkumar rao and 4 cut Aatmaraam performances hits out of the park.
I think the genre like dark humour needs the masala of mysterical sub plots but and Raj and dk have this in their previous series but in this series they not get that much
I enjoyed watching the series. Why should it have the structure/drama family man/farzi has. The subtle and quirky humour is a wonder. It doesn't move fast in the middle but it's good to watch.
I am currently watching the show, so far i loved that it has the nostalgia 90's feeling .. and i loved to see a show where all the characters main or sub characters have personality to go through .. its is getting missed in our mainstream shows ..
All the minor characters were great too,
Sukanto (Rajatava Dutta, a stalwart in Bengali cinema), SP Mishra, Gangaram (Tanishq Chaudhuri), Kamarcut, The jadugar
How is it even possible to criticize this masterpiece...I am a fan of this series...I laughed out loud watching this..I out and out loved it...Dulquer Salman and Rajkumar Rao are at their best❤ Reminds me of school days..Those born in 1985..will click with the plot, presentation, acts..
Rajkumar was great in the series. For me everyone played their roles perfectly.
I didn't feel any emotion whatsoever in the first few episodes. It was a bit unexpected from raj & dk but i guess the finale makes up for it.
The finale really is the clincher!
@@TriedRefusedProductionsbut still atmaram is still alive😂
Really appreciate how you credit the work of behind the scene maestros like production designers, set designers, cinematographers, costume designers etc. Need more of this from film reviewers!
I did get bit impatient in the middle like you said, and felt that the main characters were only showing off and not doing much..but the last episode was the ultimate pay off which made up for the slow pacing...being a 90s kid, its the amazing 90s world they had made and Rajkumar's endearing character that made me keep going till the end
I really think the dirst three episodes and all the characters are introduced in such a way that in later episodes you are engaged in the world that you don't mind a slight drag, but the finale is like one the best this year no major cliffhanger . The humuor is really good and work for me. Overall I really enjoyed it
Unreal show. Every character had scope so we saw there journey throughout the show. Finale was so good and comedy scenes were so funny!!
I loved it completely..
Atmaram and Ganchi Jr. were the highlights for me.
Super fun to watch series with a great cast great storyline. And a satisfying concilusion. Most subplots came to a close however I still feel Lekha being turned on by Tipu's violence is a facade to extract information from him and she might just be a super spy in disguise of a teacher. That would've been a nice twist.
I felt this could have been better as we expect sooo much from raj and dk probably that made me think ….BUT RAJKUMAR RAO KILLED IT in this 🔥🔥🔥
The ending,the foreshadowing and how aadarsh gaurav acted was fab
Aadarsh Gaurav is the reason I've stopped at episode 4. His character creeps me out!! 😊
@@skyejacques then you actually need to continue because what you are calling creepy turns out to be something totally different.
The twist is just mind-blowing
@@skyejacquesAdarsh Gourav always has a psychopathic undertone in his every role. Yes, it can creep guys out
This is the best series I've watched in years!!! The content nowadays are so mediocre, this series came as such a refreshing and a needed change.
I was so perplexed when I saw bad reviews of this show when this was probably my favourite Raj&DK show. Different strokes for different folks I guess.
Loved this series, funny and entertaining and how every character got a decent screen time.
Must watch... Full of entertainment... Perfect casting... RAJ&DK ⭐
Last year Vikram, this year Jubilee and now Guns and Gulabs - I cant remember any other shows in recent past that lingered in my brain so long !! Masterpiece it is. There is a very famous Bengali writer named Sirshendu Mukhopadhyay whose series of adventure stories was very very popular amongst 90s kids. We all grew up reading those lighthearted surreal adventures set in small towns or villages. He presented those stories in such a unique pseudocomic style that even his most villainous characters seemed to be cute to some extent. Same feel I got in GnG. ❤
Your commentary on the lighting in the series is spot on. Being an OTT release, and watching it on my laptop, it was kind of offputting to squint and trying to adjust the brightness to watch it better, especially the fight and shootout scenes. Being a family man fan, this was a good story and series, but could have been better! And yes i did finish it. :)
I dont know about reviews and others' opinions, but this series had worked well for me..... the way slowly the characters are developed and the conclusion is epic. I loved it. ❤❤ i hope more such hilarious and dark comedy series are made in India.....
On ep 05 now.. I storngly feel Raj & Dk still retains their dry humour which is keeping me glued. Yes it might get lagging at some point but it got back to track.. And the casting ensemble is awesome
Guns and Gulaabs is definitely not a Home Run per say but it is not a dud as well. In the End I thought...that was great but it was missing something...I guess mixed reactions came from that feeling... Never the less it had amazing performances and typical Raj&DK Humour which mostly lands....P.S - I really want to know backstory of 4cut Atmaram and how he became The Flash 😂😂
One word awesome.. the way duo (Raj & DK) mixes humor with life-threatening or tragic events is just crazy.. you will definitely have laugh out loud moments.. like when Tipu Paana's friend is murdered and he accidently puts fingers on the wrong Suneel while looking at photograph😂 .. Some of the episodes in between lacked the same charm as 1-3, but finale compensated it. Overall, it was a good watch 😂..
My favourite was 4 CUT AATMARAM over the phone trying to threaten Arjun and shifting to a corner and whispering the same lol
@TriedRefusedProductions 🤣 also when Rajkumar Rao starts singing love songs when the boy tells him he needs to listen to write a love letter. Overall, it was a fun ride.
One of the best series I have watched this year, great casting, top notch acting performances by the actors
We finally have a fargo like idea in India, sleepy towns experiencing chaos due to an outside factor is the best best form of drama/thrillers, Fargo s1 is still the pinnacle but this was an amazing addition to the genre
Finished it in one go. Loved it. Must watch. Definitely worth the binge watching.
Idk why people think it is slow, I am a regular anime viewer and probably why I am used to having long character set ups .
Also during the dark hospital shootout scene I think Raj and DK wanted us to feel and see what the characters are seeing.
Loved the series
I just loved the show felt a perfect nostalgic show like Stranger things. Its a laid back show which actual suits this show PPL r expecting accelerating show which wouldn't suit this show. I will give full marks for this show
Binge watched n loved it🤍 the casting was perfect!
4 cut atmaram character is just awesome.. Gulshan just nailed it.. it's a milestone
Panna Tipu/ Rajkumar is hilarious
The school kids are just awesome
Well done Raj & DK
For me raj and dk,,, baas naam hi kafi hai.. N here the icing on cake is satish kaushik, rajkumar rao, gaurav, doluqer salman, gulshan and many others.. Made it a paisa vasol watch.. Enjoyed it
When jr ganchi was looking at his friend's wife's jewelry we all thought he was either flirting with her or he was taunting his friend but it turned out it was a genuine compliment 😂❤ these writers played with our minds ❤
Is jr ganchi is gay or what?
@@tharunkumar4289probably trans or experiencing gender disphoria since he like men
@@flivver2527 yeah.. writers are foreshadowing him by moustache removing and bangles of this frnd wife , and also he wears always colourful 🏳️🌈and layer dressing.
In a scene Dulquer's character gives his daughter a book by Desmond Bagley - the golden keel ! Readers will know that the book and this series have a similar internal theme . In the book it was gold - the main guy operating with two other guys and here it's opium
Absolutely loved the dark comedy
Honestly I loved the show. It took me back to the retro timezone. Few moments and scenes me or others can relate themselves. Honestly not a fan period drama but this was different. Raj ND DK rocks. BTW I only found 7 episodes netflix didn't provide the 8th episode please share the episode link.
The show was like a plane on runaway, where passengers were waiting for plane to take off, but it didn’t fly till we arrive on last episode
4 cut Atmaram reminded me of Gulshan’s character in Afsos. There also, he seemed like an immortal
The success of the series is known by the fact that the actors are known by their character 😊.. in this case they have just build the plot.. next season will have more fun!
I loved this series!!! Manifesting for part 2❤️
The action sequences were perfectly fine btw. The dimly lit scenes added to the atmosphere & created tension, which was awesome to view. The intensity in the scenes felt apt as well in proportion to their time & place in the plot
Man when they reveal the true character of chota Ganchi , everything he did previously made so much sense, Raj and Dk totally nailed it.
I lovedddddd the show. I saw it in one go and now watching again. the acting is superlative. every single thing has a nuance.. imagine the credits, who does it like that.
i really loved the show...it was funny and not boring at all..even the smallest characters shine in this series
The thing i like about every Raj and DK projects is they show their characters talking in their native language along with Hindi.
I just loved the series whether it is slowburn or not so impactful sub plots i love it simply for DQ ❤ and RAj n DK 's direction.
Comedy was top notch. Even in the climax - when Chandralekha asks Bunty about his "gun hand" that had me rolling.
I do feel some plots were left open ended, like the school kids, Gangu didn't inform the other boys the extra classes offered by Chandralekha.
I felt since the show started with a scene of the 3 boys it would end with that also.
Overall was a fun slow burn Hindi heartland 90s nostalgic fun ride. With so much attention to detail.
Do you think there could be a sequel or a spin off?
Adarsh Gourav aka Jr. Gandhi was the biggest surprise in the series. Hands down for his performance. Although it was predictable if u follow the details. .☺️
I guessed it right the first time I saw Jugnu walk (Adarsh Gaurav has a different walk) but I dismissed it as over-analysing on my part. Later, after watching his obsession with his friend, I thought maybe He is Gay. But then Him complementing his wife by noticing her jewelry and Mehendi, I was like We're back folks 😂
Loved the series.. Raj and Dk..are clearly one of the best talents we have..and we want to watch more of them.❤👌👍👌❣️
Omg what a series…..As expected from Raj and Dk always loved their work and what a way of storytelling….The last episode completely amazed me
i loved it most after so many years bollywood arise.............its entertaining , quite humour......and i hope people will love this interesting drama
I have fallen in love with Raj & Dk's work ... Ever since i saw Farzi😃👌
That was amazing! The comedy scenes were excellent, very different type of show but overall excellent. So entertaining and honestly pre funny as well.
