Some of the reviews are as follows:
- India Today News: “Guns and Gulaabs Review: Adarsh Gourav dazzles in Raj-DK saga of hurt and heart. Guns and Gulaabs, by filmmakers Raj and DK, is complex, long and worth the wait. Yes, there are some issues, but the good outweighs the bad. The series premieres on Netflix on Friday, August 18.”1
- The Quint: “‘Guns & Gulaabs’ Review: Raj & DK’s Gangster Comedy Is Delightfully Whimsical. Raj & DK take these delightfully asymmetrical characters and place them in different points of this ecosystem with each character’s motivations glaringly obvious from the very beginning. And so begins a game of cat-and-mouse and secrets and jealousy and changing plans that keeps you on your toes, constantly guessing.”2
- The Hindu: “‘Guns & Gulaabs’ series review: Raj & DK’s new show is charmingly dazed and confused. Their debut Netflix series, Guns & Gulaabs, certainly has a plot: the undertaking of a large opium deal in a sleepy farming town in the early 90s. It has a countdown attached as well; a month’s time to safely execute the order or begetting consequences. Yet the pacing is knowingly deliberate, wistful.”3
- Flick On Click: “Guns & Gulaabs Netflix Review: Nostalgic Crime Comedy at Its Finest. The genre fusion of black comedy and crime thriller creates a unique viewing experience, catering to audiences seeking a fresh perspective on crime-based storytelling.”4
