I sensed the gender fluidity of Adarsh's character very clearly since the beginning. His love for his male friend was so beautifully portrayed.
I thought he was gay, actually.
I couldn’t figured it out 😣….First, I thought he wanted to kill the guy so that he can have his wife..but later on I was confused..but you had a good catch.
Yup, many instances. For me, the altercation on the ability of women being able to handle businesses was a subtle but stand out build up to how it ended.
Both Raj & DK were composed in their answer, but could feel the pain in their eyes. The question from Anupama was more of a reflection of her or the research team having done a quick rush through the show to be ready for the interview, without actually taking time to digest the whole show.
Atmaram doesnt get happy by killing people but he gets happy when he completes his call before 1 minute on telephone booth😄😄😄
😂😂
I love 99 and I think its one of the most underrated movies out there. These guys have cracked it :)
Clues for the chota ganchi character’s change were there from the start. His dialogues about why not women could not head such operations and all that.. even his body language became evident to me in the middle of the series suddenly, like his way of moving itself suggested this.. I’m surprised AC didn’t get it
The way Adarsh character sits and his love for best friend in his eyes and so many small builtup was very obvious.
They are genius writers.
I think they are the best by far at the moment when it comes to dark comedy or situational comedy
G&G felt like a Coen brothers movie: irreverence at its ironical and witty best. Congrats, DK and Raj.
Raj & DK are the Salim-Javed of our times
so true
More original writers than them as well.
Rab be bana di jodi ❤
@@siddheshadhatrao5866🤦🏻
The fact that Adarsh's character was gender fluid I recognized very early on in the series. He seemed to admire and appreciate the attractiveness of both genders and was especially tender with his male friend. Very well played by him.
right...there were hints in his body language as well when he goes to meet Arjun Verma for a deal !!
@@kaizenTechVideos Him shaving his beard and his father calling the act unmanly
Yes exactly
Same I realized it probably the second scene !
there was some intimacy between chotu and his friend.
But he got married
thats y chotu sometimes takes interest in his wife.
and all the time his friend was very anxious when he was chotu like there's some secret between them
this interview made me realize that reviews matters a lot. specially when it comes to ott
Adarsh's character's fate was recognizable from the 1st episode itself.
Their clarity of thought and fluidity of expressing the ideas is cool, nice interview!
Watched it for these two guys !
On another note, Anupama's hoodie is dope with that Slytherin mark.
Kuch bhi
Repeatedly watching... #farzi sincere thanks to dk and Raj sir
chota ganchi was presented very well ..subtle but still very evident
Salim - Javed of my era 🎉
They are the Salim-Javed for OTT
Pink mamba probably a nod to Black mamba of Kill Bill. Tarantino's influence is certainly there.
Definitely- see the look of aatmaram inspired by John travolta from pulp fiction
There is only 1 bad actor in The Family Man. He is DK
Why no Guns & Rose's track not included?
Disagree with Anupama there...chota ganchi's character since the beginning had it coming...it was a build-up to that...
On the contrary I wasn’t keen to watch Farzi first just coz of Shahid !! As I am not a big fan .. but then I watched .. n got wowed
4 Cut Atmaram stands out ! Shout out to Gulshan 🎉
Awesome filmmaker duo 💯🤘🏻
Stree easter-eggs in Guns & Gulaabs: Episode 1 farm scene with scarecrow covered in saree with exactly famous stree pose!!!!
Maam please bring back music composers adda .
These 2 are making the best content from Hindi language since Family man season 1
More power to them and their brilliance
since 99 actually
My the mumbaipublic fan public angels hai
I watched the series in one go because it has the raj and dk effect
Great one 👌
Even now or then Telugu people are more creative in Bollywood then RGV now Raj dk
My brother bhai
Why there is nothing about GADDAR2 on this channel?????
My brother bhai salim my two music partents hai
Is it just me or DK looks a lot like Virat Kohli?
Yeah.
Loved ❤ G&G
At 30:56 minute reference to nostalgia w.r.t Rocky and Rani , doing so well at BO was unbelievably retarded statement. Even Raj and DK were stumped. Lets leave aside KJO sensibilities when interviewing one the finest director duo
You can speak your mind without being insulting
Dark Comedy kings👑👑👑👑
WHY RAJ IS INTERRUPTING DK in every answer....bro let other one also speak......!!!
agree with raj &dk 29.00 min what they talk about
They are fabulous! pride of Telugu cinema like the legendary Rajamouli! taking the Telugu flag everywhere! hope they make a big comedy with Chiranjeevi! their idol!
Everything that they've done is in Hindi. How are they making Telugu proud? They got their break in Hindi cinema, made names and careers in Hindi cinema working with Hindi speaking actors and now suddenly they are pride of Telugu? I don't really care. but since you brought it up, you know.. a reality check.
Anupma ji, I'm writing this comment before Raj finishes answering your question. I haven't seen your review, but I disagree with you about Chota Ganchi's transformation not being organic. For me, it felt very natural and surprising at the same time. I could clearly see the pain that Adarsh conveys through Chota Ganchi's eyes. His behavior was consistently authentic, leading up to the ending those guys presented. When Chota Ganchi asks, 'ladki hoti toh,' it's evident that there's something deeper going on. What intrigued and puzzled me was Chota Ganchi's behavior towards his friend's wife. Perhaps season 2 will reveal whether it was just a façade or if he has genuine feelings for both genders.
And btw, Adarsh was beyond awesome in portraying that character. He was actually the heart of this show for me.
It was fresh because they didn't make it obvious. Yet it was coveyed through the acting that there's something going on. The audience could feel even when it was not made blatantly obvious. Amazing job by all the parties.
It’s not clear whether junior is trans or was never a boy to begin with since Ganchi had so many daughters
My the dones yes hai
23:21 who is the actor mentioned here? Ajay ___?
I this she says someone like a Jaideep Ahlawat
Lol was he referring to Vijay Sethupati 38:00
The rock the gun fire kills its the game over hai the karoh
Nice
I wasn't surprised to see chota ganchi's last scene. There were so many times when the seeds were sown
True..especially when he simped over Dulquer Salman during a meeting.
On the Adarsh's character - actually on the contrary , i felt, Chota ganchi's character graph was the bessttt. and it was given subtlely over the episodes.
It's always a pleasure to hear them speak on various aspects of filmmaking.
Loved this series to the core..now they are a brand like coen brothers
Hai
Anchors laugh is so fake
Hi
Mythe fan mumbai angles hai
28:27 I felt it, the first time when he cuts of his moustache and I got confirmed when he praises the Prime Minister
And there is nothing wrong with the character, it was just perfect
Raj saying 'Suchin doesn't know sh*t' is hilarious to me. Suchin better put that on a t-shirt
Already on it.
Time in the video?😂
Adarsh was so subtle throughout the series of his identity. How could Anupama not see.. Am confused.
Sometimes, these film critics are working, so they don't watch films the way we watch them. That is why, I would rather hear review from a lay man that a critic
Very happy tht this duo came into Hindi film/ show making with so much of variety of entertainment! They r simply too geniuses 😊👏👏
My tv near one day hai my the rs10crossmillon dollars hai
Redefining cinema..one series at a time..
Raj and DQ in Raj and DK series
My mobile phone near one day hai my the rs10cross million dollars hai
Love interviews like this
I felt, Adarsh was deliberately SRKish in performance, hairstyle and dressing in the show. Does anyone else feel?
yep for sure.
The thing i loved about the show is that everyone is a supporting actor and the hero is the plot the deal
46:55 which reviewer is he talking about?
Rahul desai.
@@vadlamudisaikrishna ty
Need atma ram spin off
good to hear them
My theory: RGV inspired Anurag Kashyap inspired Raj and DK
True gems.
That Chota Ganchi last scene question was so dumb. Watch the stuff. I cringest so hard at the question. Adarsh's performance was so subtle. Anupama, give us a break.
These two are responsible for normalising ma-behn ki Gali . Rampant use of such words in unlikely places. Mirzapur or patal lok or sacred games had different mileu. But i family man and ferzi protagonists speak in that lousy manner in front of women, which otherwise could hv bn termed as sexual harassment
I have watched almost all there movies and series! But did not know the directors! And my dumb head thinking how is it possible that Raj and DQ being actors and then being directors as well for the same movie! I was confused until I googled! And then just wanted to know them more, Thanks Anupama for bringing them to light!
They also Produce and ScreenWrite alot of Films like Stree
Great interview !! rapid fire could be avoided
i think they are very much inspired by Quentin Tarantino.
Guns n Gulabs did not work for me for 2 reasons 1 ) No great actor like Baju Bhai , Pankaj Bhai or Nawaz Bhai . Without an anchor a ship goes adrift 2 ) Huge lapses in logic Apparently the best assassin can't skin a mechanic with the iq of a finch ADRAIORIG
Guns n Gulabs , Anupama ji how can u like such illogical narrative , just to invest in retro feel clothes bikes padminis retro music doesn’t mean creativity ! Very bad writing , everyone wants to show same drug cartel world which is so boring ,everything is predictable repeatative , no character graph of Tipu ,no threat on characters , unnecessary kids tracks in the name of sub plot which gives nothing in the narrative, tell me who’s performance you remember ? Bad dialogues bad screenplay !! I mean still you feel it’s a good narrative ? Just to create retro vfx subtitles you can’t take all credits ! Anupama ji review it properly ! Thanx
Big fans RAJ & DK sir 🙈🙊🙉
I loved Guns and Gulaabs
Guns & Roses homage in the name?
Tv hero actor chillhood hai
My the happy and face hai
My the new life the star karoh hai
Day 3986 of asking to upload Rani’s interview 🥲
It will obviously be compared with Gangs of wassepur!
Comparison is natural……..but…….too much comparison is not good for diversity ☺️😊
They are very good at fooling people. Two biggest cuti apa were family man and farzi.
But this gulaab show is much better. Loved it. Perhaps it's because netflix's curation. ❤😮😊
My the frist wife death me hai
show was very bland i think the directors got confused , first they wanted to be like quinterino type then something and then something else....all in all very bland and no catchy moments say like in mirzapur.
My the happy and face hai
