Netflix unveiled its upcoming slate of Indian titles a few days ago and while it was filled with some very intriguing projects Raj Nidimoru and Krishna D.K.’s ‘Guns & Gulaabs’ instantly stood out.
And it’s just the beginning as this quirky series kick starts the talented writer-director duo’s creative partnership with Netflix under their D2R Films production.
Ever since it’s announcement, ‘Guns & Gulaabs’ has been highly anticipated and rightly so. Now that the visually gripping teaser for the show is out here’s why the 90s crime thriller drama is so sought after:
Raj & DK
This young filmmaking duo needs no introduction as their exemplary work speaks for itself. With an impressive portfolio of films and series like ‘The Family Man’, ‘Stree’, ‘Go Goa Gone’, ‘Shor In The City’, ‘Unpaused’ and more, Raj and DK have created a unique niche for themselves in the industry. They have mastered distinct genre mash-ups with their quirky style, creating extraordinary stories that have won both critical acclaim and commercial success.
Cast
‘Guns & Gulaabs’ cast can described best in three words: top-notch, talented and versatile. Whether it’s Dulquer Salmaan, who has been receiving huge acclaim for his recent works like ‘Sita Raman’ and ‘Chup’, National Film Award winner Rajkumar Rao who is well known for his brilliant acting skills, ‘The White Tiger’ fame Adarsh Gourav or the ’Shaitan’ star Gulshan Devaiah, everyone brings something to the table.
Storyline
Inspired by the misfits of the world, ‘Guns & Gulaabs’ is a story that depicts love and innocence, set in a world of crime. The series is set to uniquely blend the romance of the 90s with a crime thriller while effortlessly lacing it in humour.
Genre
‘Guns & Gulaabs’ has all the ingredients to make it a hit amongst the audience. Speak of the current trending favourites – crime, thriller, romance and comedy – it has them all. Going by Raj & DK’s way of blending them as they did in ‘The Family Man’, the series is full of potential. Moreover, the 90s setting could work like cherry on the top.
