Gulaab Gang is a typical movie with nothing unpredictable and unexpected. The acting performances were usual, of course not poor but nothing extraordinary but one thing appeals us, something that is gaining recognition in the NGO society as a symbol of social work and society prestige,,,,,, the women empowerment. Whats so good in this movie? technically nothing but yet I gave it 8/10 just because it shows a new method, desire and requirement. Yes the songs, dance, the gang all are enjoyable and must be watched for entertainment but not as a technically powerful film.New experience to watch two great artists on the same screen, not a big deal though but yet it can serve to aware a tiny tiny fraction of usual folks by a tiny amount to look towards corruption, social injustice and have a hope for something better that is about to come ahead after getting acknowledged about women who are shining in adverse situation.
... View MoreGULAAB GANG is a political thriller directed by Soumik Sen, starring Madhuri Dixit and Juhi Chawla.The film revolves around how a woman named Rajjo (Madhuri Dixit) started the Gulaabi Gang, who fight to prevent injustice to women, and teach education to children for free. However, the Gulaab Gang gets compromised with the entrance of the corrupt politician, Sumitra Devi (Juhi Chawla).Gulaab Gang had gone through a lot of controversy near the release date, and in addition to that, the trailer and soundtrack hadn't quite pleased the critics. That being said, the film was only recognized due to the fact that two of the most iconic actresses in Bollywood were sharing the big screen together.And Gulaab Gang pretty much delivered what we expected in terms of acting. Madhuri Dixit gave a stellar performance but Juhi Chawla clearly overpowers her, playing the film's antagonist. But the film does have many flaws. Firstly, the plot isn't very steady as it tries to focus more on how the Gulaabi Gang operate without having any real plot to help the audience refer to what's going on. It is that same reason why we aren't really on the edge of our cinema seat, wondering what is going to happen next. Juhi Chawla is only introduced a few 20 minutes before the interval, and it is only then where the real (I think) plot begins. One more problem was that Juhi Chawla didn't quite have much screen time compared to Madhuri Dixit. That being said, she is STILL able to overpower Dixit's acting, but there should have been equal screen time for both the lead casts. Since the film is dedicated to women's rights, you could see it does quite live up to the main reason why the film was made, however, the plot could have been better. Also, the film tends to be a bit slow, so everyone may not like it for the way it drags its story.So, in conclusion, GULAAB GANG is quite an okay movie. If you're a die hard fan of political flicks, you might just find this movie good. If you're a die hard fan of Madhuri Dixit or Juhi Chawla, you too might enjoy, purely because the acting keeps this film together. The film tries to be original, but at times, you do tend to feel that it is one of those masala flicks trying to be serious but ends up not being. The film had a lot of potential, which you could say was quite wasted... however, it being dedicated to Women's Day, I will give this film credit for trying to get the message through that women are people and not objects, except in a more violent way to attract all types of audiences.GULAAB GANG- 5.5/10

... View MoreFirst, i would like to appreciate the director for making movie on gulabi gang. which is already a world famous and some people doesn't know about it in most parts of India. First i thought the movie would be only on revolution against injustice to women. But gulaab gang fights against every injustice in their village where men come to them ask their help,which is impressive. there is also political drama which makes you interesting to watch. After watching the movie i started surfing online about gulabi gang and it's leader sampat pal. Men might be against the movie or the gulabi gang. But what i want to say is common yar, let them do at least which we men have no courage to do. when it comes to the movie,you may watch it once for madhuri and juhi. rest of the cast also did their job very well. i'm sure it won't disappoint you. performances of entire cast will make u sit through the movie. that's enough to watch a movie i guess.
