New Delhi: The new video of the most-anticipated series of the year Guns & Gulaabs by filmmaker duo Raj & DK was dropped on Friday. It points to the title being a gangster comedy like no other, filled with the songs of the 1970s, romantic crazy lovers, and eccentric gangsters. Pulling off a casting coup, Guns & Gulaabs is a quirky, genre-blend that stars Rajkummar Rao, Dulquer Salmaan, Adarsh Gourav, TJ Bhanu, and Gulshan Devaiah in key roles.
Taking to Instagram, actor Dulquer Salmaan dropped the video announcing the trailer launch date. Sharing the first glimpse on his birthday, he wrote: "If there is one word to describe this unbelievable world that Raj & DK have created, it’s ENTERTAINMENT!🤩 Guns and Gulaabs trailer drops on 2nd August, only on @netflix_in!🌹🔫 #GunsAndGulaabs #GunsAndGulaabsOnNetflix"
The video begins with retro music, showing a smashed bottle of a cold-drink with a backdrop of roses. A glimpse of Rajkummar shows him in a new avatar, with a unique hairstyle and a gun in his hand. There’s a milestone sign with ‘Gulaabgunj 6 km’ imprinted on it.
The video, designed like a motion poster, shows flying objects like metal tools, glass objects, perfume, a pack of cards, an old cassette, a love letter, knife, a board, which shows the sign ‘testing zone’, a bullet bike, and blood around, along with roses in slow motion. There’s also a signboard with ‘Vayu Auto Works’ written on it. Then, there’s a glimpse of Gulshan with the 1970s hairstyle and clothing.
Dulquer is seen as a tough and intimidating personality. From the first kill to the first kiss, in Gulaabgunj anything can happen, gangs run riot, a cartel heir is reluctant to pull the trigger on his new life, a mechanic is looking for love, and an officer is struggling to keep his secrets. It also stars Shreya Dhanwanthary, and Pooja A Gor. It will be streaming on Netflix.
Raj and DK are best known for their work, specifically as creators, directors, writers, and producers of the thriller series The Family Man and Farzi. (With agency inputs)
