Movie Review : Gulaal

What I like most about this movie is like typical Hindi movies there is no central protagonist and everyone's story is important in its own way. So there is an eventual winner illegitimate son fighting for his place, a rebel prince ( KK despite being from kerala looked every bit rajput) who dies on his own terms, abhimnayu singh in Ransa's role is terrific specially when he says 'my dad makes tea for old white women and wants me to do same" and obviously dileep singh.

Separatist movement is just a background and nothing else and futility of it is brought out of elder prince when he lampoons whole gulaal thing.

music was good, jodhpur ( i guess) was captured authentically but that bahroopia so called ardhnarishwar with elder prince seemed more like a prop than serving any useful purpose and somehow the thought of the girl sleeping with everyone for her ends and everyone getting hoodwinked by her easily was strange.
