The film maker Anurag Kashyap has come up with Gulaal after the grand success of Abhay Deol starer DEV D. Gulaal is a political drama complete with emotional ingredients like love, greed, deceit and power. Kay Kay Menon plays one of the protagonists called Dukey Bana, who masterminds a Rajputana movement in order to have a separate state ruled by Rajputs. Set in Rajpur, a fictional city in Rajasthan, the film revolves around a member of the erstwhile royal family who wants to go back to the days of royalty and become the ruler of the state.
The story of the movie revolves around Dileep (Raj Choudhary) who comes to Jaipur to study, accompanied by his servant Bhanwar (Mukesh Bhatt). In the college he is soon embroiled into local politics. The local kingpin Dukey Bana (Kay Kay Menon) compels Dilip to contest in the college elections makes him win. Later they plan for a revolution, challenging the democracy. People would definitely rave over Kay Kay’s usual fire-and-brimstone performance, but the real showstealers in Gulaal are Raja Chaudhary, Abhimanyu Singh, Piyush Mishra, Deepak Dobriyal (as Bhati, the loyal assistant to Dukkey Bana, in what would have been one of this brillaint actor’s initial releases if the film had got completed on time) and Mahie Gill (the Paro from Dev.D is Madhuri the mujra girl-cum-beauty parlour owner here) - they extra-shine amidst some uniformly-competent acting.
