The eagerly anticipated black comedic criminal thriller, Guns and Gulaabs, recently made its Netflix debut.

The adored program boasts an impressive ensemble cast with Rajkummar Rao, Dulquer Salmaan, Adarsh Gourav, and Gulshan Devaiah playing the key characters.
Raj Niidmoru and Krishna DK, the directors, spoke candidly about creating the world of Guns and Gulaabs in a recent interview with Film Companion. The pair spoke in-depth about the show’s much-discussed action sequences, which have won people over with their inventive script, choreography, and execution.
‘Realism meeting cartoon’ is the theme of the action involving guns in Gulaabs.
The directors’ genius in producing dark comedies that find humor in all peculiar, wacky circumstances has allowed them to carve out a niche for themselves in the film business. However, they are also getting plaudits for the hilarious yet masterfully crafted action scenes in Guns and Gulaabs. Raj and DK recently discussed the show’s action scenes with Film Companion, saying that the objective was that they needed to be “cartoonish.”
“In this presentation, we tried to be a little morbid with our humor. We also wanted to approach the violence in the action scenes in a more “cartoonish,” yet realistic, manner. In a way, it was realism mixed with cartoon. The way a character falls with the spanner and how slashes are executed are only a few examples of the many asterisks in these details, according to the incredibly creative directors. In the interview, they emphasized how crucial strong writing is to making both humor and violence work.
