‘Guns & Gulaabs’ new video sets up anticipation with key elements of series

The new video of the most-anticipated series of the year ‘Guns & Gulaabs’ by filmmaker duo Raj & DK, released on Friday, points to the title being a gangster comedy like no other, filled with the songs of the 1970s, romantic crazy lovers, and eccentric gangsters.

Pulling off a casting coup, ‘Guns &Gulaabs’ is a quirky, genre-blend that stars Rajkummar Rao, Dulquer Salmaan, Adarsh Gourav, TJ Bhanu, and Gulshan Devaiah in key roles.

The video begins with retro music, showing a smashed bottle of a cold-drink with a backdrop of roses. A glimpse of Rajkummar shows him in a new avatar, with a unique hairstyle and a gun in his hand. There’s a milestone sign with ‘Gulaabgunj 6 km’ imprinted on it.

The video, designed like a motion poster, shows flying objects like metal tools, glass objects, perfume, a pack of cards, an old cassette, a love letter, knife, a board which shows the sign ‘testing zone’, a bullet bike, and blood around, along with roses in slow motion. There’s also a signboard with ‘Vayu Auto Works’ written on it.

Then, there’s a glimpse of Gulshan with the 1970s hairstyle and clothing. Dulquer is seen as a tough and intimidating personality. From the first kill to the first kiss, in Gulaabgunj anything can happen, gangs run riot, a cartel heir is reluctant to pull the trigger on his new life, a mechanic is looking for love, and an officer is struggling to keep his secrets.

The trailer will be launched on August 2. It also stars Shreya Dhanwanthary, and Pooja AGor. It will be streaming on Netflix.Raj and DK are best known for their work, specifically as creators, directors, writers, and producers of the thriller series ‘The Family Man’ and ‘Farzi’.
