Critic Review
Gulaab GangGULAAB GANG sheds light on the plight of women in a particular region, but the message resonates beyond the boundaries of the region it attempts to illustrate. The screenplay packs a couple of nail-biting episodes, which skilfully highlights the vulnerability of women in rural India. The fight against merciless husbands, crooked politicians and government machinery and the conventional and regressive attitude comes across effectively on varied occasions. In short, a number of sequences sting with honesty! However, you can't turn a blind eye to the blemishes either. Not much happens in the first hour of GULAAB GANG [the writing lacks meat!], after Soumik introduces us to the pivotal characters. Lack of conflict or face-off is also one of the reasons why the first hour never really impresses. Also, Soumik could've avoided the usage of songs [the synchronized steps and the reference to 'Ek Do Teen' in a sequence look out of place], since the focus in a film like GULAAB GANG is on drama primarily. Fortunately, GULAAB GANG is back on tracks in the post-interval portions. The simmering tension between Madhuri and Juhi is captured wonderfully. Besides, a couple of dramatic sequences leave a hammer-strong impact. In addition, the chameleon-like opportunistic character of Juhi catches your eye in the second hour. .
The only saving grace of the film is Juhi Chawla who sizzles with her career best performance. Madhuri's performance pales in contrast to that of Juhi's. Juhi has become the character instead of ‘playing' it. She is only ‘realistic element' in the who.
Meanwhile, you could watch this movie for Juhi Chawla. She is a revelation and we really hope the film industry takes notice!
And for Divya Jagdale and Priyanka Bose who stand out with their performances. Take a bow, ladies!.
As Gulaab Gang runs long and attempts to wrap up the proceedings quickly, few questions are unanswered such as the betrayal of Rajjo's brother. The film ends with a salute to the work of other inspiring women such as Lakshmi Sa, Usha Vishwasharma, Norti B.
Women who weave their own pink saris and are determined to put all pigs in their place, even if they are in the make-believe world of Gulaab Gang, should be the last people to enforce a stereotype that Hindi films have perpetuated for decades.
Women, M.
On the whole, GULAAB GANG is well-intentioned with several powerful moments, especially towards the second half. The game of power and politics is well captured too. Additionally, the bravura performances of Madhuri and Juhi add immense weightage to the f.
