Love……… Power……… Revolution

“Yeh duniya agar mil bhi jaye to kya hai” this song written by Sahir Ludhyanwi from Gurudutt’s film PYASA inspired a lot to director Anurag Kashyap to make this film. Gulal, named after vermilion powder we use to celebrate Holi, the festival of colors occurs during months of February – March, Rajasthani revolutionaries makes plan to use it as mask.

The political excitement is alarmingly transfixing. With its immoral story of student union elections of college, is woven around a pressure group for separate Rajputana state.

The tale is narrated through two main characters, Dileep Singh (Raja Choudhary) and Dukey Bana (K. K. Menon). Dukey Bana advocates radical ideas for a state for Rajputs only, named Rajputana. Dileep Singh gets carved in the fraudulent world of politics and obsessed love after coming to pass L. L. B. in Rajpur. A host of further characters, each distinctly diverse from one another, plays vital parts in the story. In the midst of them, Prithvi Bana (Piyush Mishra) and Ransa (Abhimanyu Singh) are most fascinating. Fresh talent Ayesha Mohan is also progressing as she steps her way to catch the top. She offers tears and twists at every corner, a good find.
