However, the movie brings the irresistible charm of Pakistani actor Fawad Khan and Indian actress Vaani Kapoor in a similar love storm and refreshing surprise.

Directed by Aarti S. Bagdi, the film has a blend of food, dance, family drama, and romance into a vibrant narrative. So, it has captured the spirit of modern and rooted storytelling.
Storyline and Direction
Aabeer Gulaal is a story of opposites attracting at its heart. Fawad Khan (Aabeer Singh) played a London-based chef who runs a prestigious restaurant. However, he finds himself in Jaipur in a culinary contest where he crosses paths with Gulaal Bajaj (Vaani Kapoor). Notably, she is the spirited young woman battling societal norms and family expectations.
The movie starts as a dramatic encounter. However, it unfolded into a relationship full of humor, tension, and unavoidable chemistry. Moreover, Director Aarti S. Bagdi, along with co-writers Meghna Singhee and Sudipto Sarkar ensures the screenplay is engaging and breezy.
Some portion in the second half loses momentum due to predictable conflicts. However, the film finds its footing with a bold and unpredictable climax that avoids falling into sweet rom-com clinches.
Performances
Fawad Khan once again proved why he is a fan favorite. His portrayal of Aabeer is significant as he delivers charm with his smile and depth with every pause. Similarly, Vaani Kapoor delivers her best performance yet as she brings vulnerability and comedy in Gulaal.
Moreover, her London escapades and dance sequence in the police station add a quirky edge to the narrative. Similarly, Parmeet Sethi, Farida Jalal, and Lisa Haydon add more flavor as a supporting cast to this movie. However, some characters could have been fleshed out more.
Music and Visuals
Amit Trivedi’s music is one of the standout features of this movie. Thus, songs like Khudaya Ishq and Dooriyan are already winning fans’ hearts. Moreover, Vijay A. Ganguly’s choreography attracts the energy to the screens. Similarly, the cinematography of Babu Sadineni captures Jaipur’s earthy beauty and London’s glossy charm with equal finesse.
Aabeer Gulaal Movie Review: Verdict
Aabeer Gulaal might fall to reinvent the romantic comedy genre. Still, it delivers a feel-good, family-friendly entertainer as promised. Moreover, it has sparkling chemistry between its leads, lively music, and a finale that dares to be different. Thus, it is a must-watch for anyone who is in love with a dash of chaos.
