Exoticalot People are voting emotionally.
VeteranLight I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.
Noutions Good movie, but best of all time? Hardly . . .
Bluebell Alcock Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies
Xandrieth Xs I heard people praising the movie. But the film terribly failed to impress me. It is just a commercial movie which tried to throw light at some important issues....The upsides are few. The most important is that it supports feminism, the only thing the movie did properly. The movie has no Hero, but a heroine. Even the villain is a lady. The protagonist, played by Madhuri Dixit is a very impressive character. The film also tried to illustrate the evil behind successful politicians, corruption and poverty. But it lacked perfection in everything....The down side is very heavy. Firstly, you can feel the imperfection everywhere. It is extremely impractical. It lacks the fun of a commercial movie and at the same time lacks the depth of a non-commercial one. The action is of very poor quality, much of it doesn't make any sense. The Gulaab Gang starts dancing in awkward moments with perfect steps and expressions unsuitable for the situation. The acting completely sucks. The director should be thrown out of Bollywood. And there is a lot more in the list. I'm just too lazy to type all of them in details....#notWorthWatching....
binducherungath Movie is inspired from the life story of Ms. Sampal Lal Devi (original Gulaabi Gang leader - a social worker currently at village Badausa in Banda district of Uttar Pradesh, an ex Big-Boss contestant as well).The movie begins with the narration of Anil Kapoor introducing the Madhopur village and the Gulaabi Gurukul. Lot of social issues faced by rural women are dealt in the movie right from the very beginning of the movie viz. depriving girls of the education rights, domestic violence, rape etc. Madhuri Dixit as Rajjo is running her Gulaabi Gurukul, where she teaches small girls alphabets and also prepares young girls for self-defense wielding lathis. They weave their own pink sarees. The whole 70mm screen turns pink when they move in a group. Certain rare moments with great finesse: to see them fearlessly detaining a corrupt government official within the walls of the office to fetch the electricity connection back in their village; to see wielding lathis and recovering the truck loaded with stolen grains; twisting the hand of the man who physically abused his wife; punishing the guy who raped a young teenage girl… let me not reveal the complete list. Juhi Chawla as politician Sumitra Devi, in her very first villainous character is very convincing. She only values power, time and money and is a very self-centered politician. She actually raises a feeling of hatred towards her character in the movie. The supporting cast Divya Jagdale, Tannishtha Chatterjee, Priyanka Bose, Lata S Singh, Vinitha Menon, Rani Patel, Tanvi Rao are all good and convincing as Gulaab Gang members. The director Saumik Sen has portrayed Gulaab gang in an excellent manner. The best catch of the movie is at the end when he sings 'Jai Ho' as a tribute to different empowered women who made difference to the society in their own ways. I wish, Sampat Lal should have also been shown along with them. Music by Saumik Sen is as per the tone of movie. Madhuri Dixit has given voice to a song Rangi Saari Gulaabi.Gulaab Gang, a perfect treat on the eve of International Women's Day.
Jasrick Johal To rule out one thing upfront - except for the Pink saris there isn't much similar between Gulaab Gang and Sampat Pal's life who has been going all out to oppose the release of this film. That however, is not a good sign for the dramatisation of events in Anubhav Sinha's Gulaab Gang is what takes this film to unfathomable lows of boredom. Rajjo (Madhuri Dixit) is a messiah for unfortunate or suppressed women who not only provides for basic schooling for girls but also runs a gang of pink sari clad women called Gulaab Gang to stand up against the atrocities on downtrodden women. She is a powerful figure in a village called Madhopur where a local politician wants her to lend support to politician Sumitra Devi (Juhi Chawla) who represents all things bad. In a typically hero vs villain plot, the battle begins between the two women, and needless to mention it's the good that wins in the end.Soumik Sen takes a different approach towards addressing women issues in the Indian heartland but in the bid dramatises the plot to make the film appear extremely boring and banal. The movie is highly predictable and borders lunacy, especially in scenes like the one where Rajjo in a bid to run for the cover sprints on an open ground when she knows people out to get her are open firing. Gulaab Gang is caricaturish from the word go. Not only does the movie have set-ish backdrop with raw huts being places in shooting locations instead of real locations but also has characters that are very filmy. So you have pink sari clad rural women with manicured hands, waxed legs, lipstick and kohl in eyes portraying their parts in a flawed manner. Perhaps it is filmmaker's over dramatised attempt to show equality in genders or an idea of showcasing heroism gone wrong, you have Madhuri Dixit in a female Salman Khan manner doing action stunts of beating countless men to pulp or flying in the air. Who would've though actors like Madhuri Dixit and Juhi Chawla would come together for the first time after years for a film as indolently written as this? Both leading ladies appear miscast for a film that requires women who don't get on board with an image that may be far too strong for them to fit into a character that realistic. However, even at that, it's Juhi Chawla who outshines Madhuri in this film. In fact it's quite a tragedy when some of the interesting characters from Rajjo's gang who actually bring some spunk in the sordid tale die much too soon. What's worse throughout the film is the music which keeps interfering for no reason time and again. There are way too many numbers in the movie which is supposed to be hardhitting and it isn't quite a convincing sight to watch a gang leader such as Rajjo break into jigs or croon away to glory. To sum it up, Gulaab Gang is a half baked attempt to present a gritty action drama. A movie which wastes potential of two brilliant actresses.
tashkiddo Madhuri's Gulaab Gang is a film about two key things:1) Women's situation in India and how women can change their fate - through education 2) Good is always > Evil; no matter how 'sexy' doing evil things and saying bad things lookMadhuri Dixit reflected and stood for "Good" and she succeeds in it ! Madhuri acted, emoted, danced, fought, sung - she did everything in this movie. SALUTE to her. No body I mean no body could have done justice to this role in Indian cinema.Her acting will make you cry, feel proud, and also stand up for other women...Gulaab Gang is a great movie, a must watch for every Indian... Go watch it !
