S1: A great comedy-action series, which works great as a screwball comedy where everybody is out to get everybody else, littered by a colourful cast of characters , portraying the India of this time authentically. Raj and DK have created characters which like characters of go goa gone , plays well of each other. But like Go Goa gone, there nothing deeper into this series i.e, it is a one and done watch , you will remember this cast of pana dhari tipu or char cut atmaram, who feel straight out of some 80s movies burst into the screen with both in equal measure of their wackiness and seriousness. Special shoutout to its child actors, they are terrific , their dynamic reminded me of my own school dynamic. The show is a W for nostalgia and , I will remember it for its character, dialogue and beautiful setting, and a delightful plot that all converges and explodes in the end like a long fuse to a bomb., Like another work by the same director go goa gone, you are just here for the roller coaster ride. but unlike movie it is a series , which severely limits the strength of this product by Raj and DK, therefore this roller coaster ride often feels dragging because you can only take this concept so far w/o engaing audience emotionally with these characters or laying out an organic thematic trail across the series that concludes with the climax of the series. This series have exactly opposite problem of the Fallof the House of Usher, HWere the Fall of the house of usher where the mmessaging of the show overpowers its setting and character, nnone of the cast is memorable as they ameant tio represent a represent everthing wrong with corporate america. Meanwhile the world of Guns and Gulaabs have the later in plenty but sorely lacks a beating heart ,w hich puts it just below A show like one piece where colourful cast is paired with a beating heart to produce a truly memorable experience(though I would still rate guns and gulaabs over one piece LA because my fondness of Og Onepiece restricts my ability to judge s1 Fairly ). Hope the second season rectify this sole issue ,
