GULAAL - A film based on Rajputana movement

By Joginder Tuteja

Anurag Kashyap would be seeing two of his films releasing in consecutive months. While 'Dev D' arrives on 7th February, 'Gulaal', the project closest to Anurag Kashyap’s heart, is eyeing a 13th March release.

Apparently, 'Gulal' took shape in 2001, when Anurag Kashyap was listening to songs from Pyaasa and ‘Paanch’ was struggling with censors. Inspired by a song from Pyaasa, “Yeh duniya agar mil bhi jaaye to kya hai”, the film is a dedication to Sahir Ludhianwi, the lyricist of the song and all other poets who had a vision of India.
