I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review

If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

gulaab gang is a commercial film,stated soumik sen,but yet it is still intelligent then silly blockbuster and more real to be called commercial,the most violent portrayal of women in Indian cinema,and goddess avatar of our superheroine madhuri dixit,and no way less devilicious chawla, who is tough to fight with.its not a MAIN HOO NAARI type preachy parable,but a social drama about rural women fighting not for liberalisation,but their existence indeed. its a shame that some male chauvinistic critics have shunned it, who could not digest womens performing hand to hand action sequences, music and background score is classical and folk,and is for different taste,if u r not fond of women centric films,still u can enjoy,bcoz madhuri n juhi r true heroes of GULAAB GANG.

When the film was announced it caught my attention as it brought together Juhi and Madhuri who never worked together till date. Also the topic seems bold however the director opts to make it a mix between masala and realism There are too many dance numbers yet the problems and also several dramatic scenes are brilliantly handled, The clash between Juhi and Madhuri is interesting Another problem is that a documentary called Gulaabi Gang was released few weeks before which showed more realistically the story that mars the impact.Direction is decent Music is okay but too many songs and they do look out of placeMadhuri Dixit is fab in the role that demanded an actress, she is superb though her accent may not be 100% but her expressions and acting is spot on Juhi Chawla for the first time in a negative role is simply outstanding, she makes you forget the Juhi we know Divya Jagdale seen in small roles in Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam(Ajay's sister) and other films is simply outstanding, Priyanka Bose and others are good

Too many jumps doesn't let the story flow in a linear manner. I understand that there are a lot of by stories that need to be established but the jumps are way too many and the first foray in watching the film is that of disjointedness.And why the delay in embracing the protagonist? And when finally she emerges from behind the veil, the entry lacks voltage.And then comes in the antagonist and she doesn't fail. And the face off well that doesn't fail either. Both stand their ground and it's electrifying.It's not a question of who had the meatier or glamorous role but JC over shone MD. JC was the character and vice versa. I was seeing Sumitra in each frame through all her mannerisms whether it was biting her lower lip or having that clove (atleast that's what I think it was).Considering that the film is all about the leader of the GG, the magic, passion and the rawness just don't emerge. She excels in what she's the most graceful at but otherwise she just sparked intermittently.There was more than a kernel of a story and considering its the directorial debut of SS, a good effort. Much will be expected in the second outing though. The reason why I couldn't add in a better adjective is because of a number of reasons. The number of songs and their reasoning for them to be? And what's with the shoddy editing? Storytelling is an art - why butcher it?All in all it was a valiant effort and as I mentioned earlier given the sheer talent of SS, one expects a whole lot more.

After a lot of hype and hoopla, Madhuri Dixit and Juhi Chawla's first film together, Gulaab Gang has finally arrived. To watch the two iconic actresses of the 90s coming together might seem like a dream come true for many, it did that for me at least. Gulaab Gang completely rests on the able shoulders of these two ladies. Madhuri and especially Juhi in her first villainous role have given their career best performances in this film. I was petrified at how well Juhi has succeeded in portraying an out-and-out negative role for the first time in her career. She proves that one does not have to be loud in order to appear menacing. The way she arches her eyebrows and smiles sardonically makes her appear all the more threatening whenever she is about to do something terrible. Her face off scenes with Madhuri, especially the climax scene where only one of them can survive are brilliant. Juhi Chawla takes coldness and villainy to a whole new level in Gulaab Gang. Madhuri does an equally brilliant job as the hardened leader of a girls' gang who is always ready to fight injustice. One of the best scenes of the movie is when Madhuri along with her protégé goes to a college in order to collect funds for a school she is planning to set up for the needy children. The way she asks the students whether they can introduce a course on hunger management for those children who can't afford to eat at all is wonderfully etched. Her action scenes are mind- blowing and she dances and even sings like a dream. However, I feel the script could have been well written as there are several loopholes in the plot. The gang breaking out into a song every now and then does stick out like a sore thumb in an issue-driven film like this and the climax seems too sudden and forceful that the impact could not even be felt. I guess it has to do a lot with the fact that it is Soumik Sen's first directorial venture. He fails to give the movie a more proper climax. I am quite baffled by the mixed reviews that this film got. The film is actually quite entertaining and both Madhuri and Juhi are in their top form here. I guess Sampat Pal disputing that the film is actually based on her life created a lot of bad publicity for the film. Otherwise, it's a brilliantly made film with stellar performances from the two female superstars of Bollywood.
