The story is set in Gulaabganj, a fictional town where government-licensed opium is grown. The vast majority of opium flow is controlled by two rival gangs, led by Ganchi and Nabeed. Gangaram, a local student, witnesses Babu Tiger, the right-hand man of Ganchi, being murdered by a hired killer named Four-Cut Aatmaram.
Guns & Gulaabs’ starring Rajkummar Rao, Dulquer Salmaan and Adarsh Gourav abounds in 90s nostalgia and weirdness, but can feel quite random and adrift in the home stretch
The series is set in the imaginary ‘Gulaabgunj’. Local big cheese Ganchi (late actor Satish Kaushik, his enormous bald head put to loving use) falls through the woodwork of his large house and slips into a coma. It puts his heir, the fairly inexperienced Jugnu (Adarsh Gourav), in charge. Jugnu is meant to oversee the ‘Calcutta deal’ while keeping rival factions and a new Narcotics officer in town, Arjun (Dulquer Salmaan), in check. Shy mechanic Tipu (Rajkummar Rao) kills two men in a fit of rage with his spanner and later joins up with Ganchi gang. Hot on his heels is a freelance assassin from Bombay, 4-Cut Atmaram (Gulshan Devaiah), so named for the eponymous ‘four cuts’ he lethally inflicts upon his victims.
Empty '90s nostalgia:
Raj & DK manage to transport us back into the ‘90s via a fictional hill station called Gulaabgang (say, a Dehradun or Mussoorie of the ’90s). Besides motifs like Campa Cola and a pink ladies perfume called Pink Mamba, the director duo truly bring out '90s nostalgia through a track involving schoolchildren.
The show kicks off with two boys debating whose love is deeper, by engraving their girlfriends' names on their arms with a compass. Later, a girl and a boy fall in love while walking their bicycles besides each other instead of riding them home. And the petty yet evocative classroom politics, of the class monitor forfeiting his badge to the new class topper, and of the class monitor writing the names of nuisance-makers on the blackboard. These children get as much screentime as the rest of the prolific cast, but their integration with the main storyline seems more force-fitted than organic.
There's a lovely bit where the class topper is recruited by his resourceful friend to ghost-write love letters in English for a Hindi medium-read mechanic. The kid has a process to write love letters: he must listen to English music on his Walkman and do the final touches by spraying his mom's Pink Mamba on the letter. In a hilarious sequence, he writes as a Bryan Adams song plays in the background, much to the confusion of the mechanic and his sidekick.
But besides these cute elements, there doesn't seem to be a larger reason for placing the story in the ‘90s. What are Raj & DK trying to stir within us, that goes beyond nostalgia porn? Sadly, there’s only a deafening silence no matter how hard you shake it, like a gullak at the end of the month.
Chor-police:
Raj & DK populate Guns & Gulaabs with a bunch of quirky criminals. They draw a parallel between Chhota Ganchi (Adarsh Gourav), the son of the town's most dreaded gangster Ganchi (Satish Kaushik), and Tipu (Rajkummar Rao), a mechanic and the son of Ganchi's loyal but dispensable gang member. Both carry the burden of their dad's deeds. While Chhota feels the dire pressure to step into the gigantic shoes of his father, but keeps failing miserably, Tipu is clear he doesn't want to follow in his father's footsteps, but ends up killing men with a mere spanner like casual strokes.Yet again, this track of bearing the father's legacy looms large over the plot, but never comes out with force because it's bogged down by the rest of the show that's full of random side plots, inconsequential chase sequences, and downright boring scenes. All of these elements keep drifting apart further as the narrative progresses, and never come into a coherent whole, just like the seasoned cast who go about their roles in isolation, but never unite for what would've been an explosive celluloid moment.
Rajkummar Rao is the funniest of the lot. He has the longest arc and does as much justice to it as he can. Watch out for his early bits, especially when he forgets his father has died, while flirting with a love interest (Read: "Han, pitaji theek hain… arey, pitaji toh mar gaye). Adarsh Gourav also has an enjoyable arc with smart touches and a grand culmination. But the simmering intensity within the young actor is wasted by the series' divided focus. Dulquer Salmaan lends integrity to his role of a cop, but is saddled with unnecessary character traits, predictable grey shades, and a side-plot of adultery. Honestly, Shreya Dhanwanthary popping up for randomly blackmailing Dulquer and dropping a truth bomb on him in the end feels like a revenge arc after what he did to her in R Balki's Chup last year.
