Earlier on Wednesday evening, Netflix India and the makers of the upcoming crime drama Guns and Gulaabs unveiled the official trailer of the show.
Starring Rajkummar Rao, Dulquer Salmaan, Adarsh Gourav, T J Bhanu and Gulshan Devaiah, the series promises to be a hinterland crime drama coupled with countryside humour and retro nostalgia.
Directed by Raj and DK, the show's trailer promises a fun riot of drama, action and romance, in equal measure.
Check out the trailer below:
Set in the 1990's, the plot paints the story of three men in cinemascope. A romantic mechanic, an unprepared heir to a family of gangsters and an honest-to-a-fault cop will find their destinies crossing one another's paths. The trailer was unveiled to the media at a special event in New Delhi. The show promises to be a genre-binding saga that combines themes of brotherhood, friendship, romance, action, comedy and pulp.
As far as this genre is concerned, nobody can do it better than Raj & DK, who have time and again proven themselves to be the best when it comes to coupling crime and comedy together.
Speaking about the show, the duo maintains, "Guns & Gulaabs has been an exhilarating journey for us! This time we went back to our favourite territory... embracing the storytelling style of our earlier films (99, Shor In The City). And somewhere along this process, we found ourselves creating a genre-mash in a pulpy, retro style. Netflix has been a like-minded partner sharing the same unbridled passion as us to present this unique, quirky story. And it marks the beginning of an exciting collaboration that we hope audiences will embrace."
What would also make viewers look forward to watching the series is the presence of Satish Kaushik in a never-seen-before avatar.
Written by Suman Kumar and Sumit Arora, the series also feature Shreya Dhanwanthary and Pooja Gor in pivotal roles.
Guns and Gulaabs premieres on Netflix from August 18, 2023
