Gulaab Gang: Hits And Misses (Hindi): Film Review
The Madhuri-Juhi starrer is loud, colorful and action packed, but fails to live up to expectations | Chinnu Nair, Yentha.com
When word was out about debutant director Soumik Sen’s film Gulaab Gang starring Madhuri Dixit Nene and Juhi Chawla, expectations were sky high. The film also stars a string of other highly talented women including Divya Jagdale, Tannishtha Chatterjee and Priyanka Bose.
Hitting the cinemas right on the eve of Women’s day, seemed the perfect timing to watch a female oriented film of epic proportions. However, the film certainly couldn’t live up to the tremendous hype it built up.
The movie opens with a disclaimer that it has nothing to do with Sampat Pal, a real life woman who formed a group of women vigilantes called Gulabi Gang in Bundelkhand. However, Sen liberally lifts from the life and times of the Gulabi Gang, all from their pink saris to their sticks, for his highly fictionalised work.
