Gunday (transl. Outlaws) is a 2014 Indian
Zafar conceived the film, which was the last to be narrated to founder Yash Chopra, as an amalgam of stories he had heard from his father as a child about the effects of war-caused immigration and the Mafia Raj's illegal marketing of coal. He wrote the film as a tale of the consequences of the struggle of two outlaws against the system, using his father's stories as a backdrop for the characters. Principal photography began in Mumbai in December 2012 before moving to Kolkata, where extensive filming was done. The soundtrack was composed by Sohail Sen, and the lyrics were penned by Irshad Kamil, while Julius Packiam composed the background score, taking over Sen's duties from Zafar's debut Mere Brother Ki Dulhan, eventually becoming a regular collaborator.
Gunday was released on 14 February 2014, receiving mixed to positive reviews from critics and was a commercial success, with a box-office gross of ₹130 million making it the

Undeterred, they promise to loot his next train as well. When they arrive to loot Dibakar's train, he calls them "
A businessman invites Bikram and Bala to the opening of his new club in Calcutta. He introduces them to Himanshu, his assistant. They meet Nandita, a cabaret dancer. They both fall in love with her, and decide that whoever wins her heart will marry her. Nandita invites them to a theatre to tell them whom she loves. Bala gets into a fight there with a man who makes a disrespectful comment on Nandita and Bala shoots him. Bikram tells Bala to go into hiding, promising not to see Nandita until he returns. Sarkar warns Bikram that if Bala returns to Calcutta, he will be killed. Nandita tells Bikram that she loves him, but if they do not observe Durga Puja together, she will never see him again. Bikram agrees to meet her. Later, Bala learns about this through Himanshu, and returns to Calcutta. Enraged when he sees Bikram and Nandita, Bala accuses Bikram of breaking his promise and shoots at him. He hits Nandita instead, who is rushed to hospital and survives.
Bala learns that their businesses are in Bikram's name, and demands his share. Bikram agrees, even sharing the
Himanshu brings Bala into the coal mine to meet Dutta. Himanshu tells him that he is Dibakar's brother and saw him murdered by Bikram and Bala. He reveals Nandita's identity and tries to kill Bala, but Bikram rescues him, and Bala kills Himanshu. While trying to escape, they are then cornered by Sarkar and Nandita, who again tells Bikram that she loves him and he should surrender; Sarkar also tries to convince Bala to surrender. Bikram and Bala see a passing train and run towards it. As Bikram and Bala are inches away from catching the train, Sarkar and Nandita shoot at them.

Development
Gunday was announced in August 2012 by
Zafar said that films of that era, such as Deewaar (1975) and Kaala Patthar (1979), influenced his storyline.[6][7] He believed that the films' portrayal of the conflict between right and wrong gave him an understanding of life as a child, which he used in the script.[6] In an interview, Zafar said that the film depicted the consequences of the outlaws' struggle against the system: "If someone is deprived of basic rights, there will certain youth who will be disillusioned and go over to the dark side. In a way, the system creates its own enemy."[6] Gunday was the last film narrated to Yash Chopra.[7]
Since most 1970s and 1980s films emphasized bromance, Zafar wanted to showcase friendship and said that he wanted to "catch that spirit" of the friendship of "Jai-Veeru" from Sholay (1975); he called the film a "definite reference point", with Yaarana (1981), for portraying bromance.[9] Zafar made the friendship between his characters integral to the plot, where the characters would do anything for each other: "The whole idea while making Gunday was to bring the right feel of friendship. The idea about friendship which used to be in the earlier times, especially in the heartland of India was something else."[9]
Casting and characters
In August 2012, Ranveer Singh and Arjun Kapoor were cast as the protagonists Bikram and Bala respectively.[5] Zafar gave a joint pitch to both the actors where Kapoor would play Bikram and Singh would play Bala. After hearing the description, both the actors felt that they could play their respective characters as they identified similarities between the characters and their own personalities.[10] However, the director switched the roles as a surprise, giving the part of Bikram to Singh and Bala to Kapoor. Although they initially wanted to play their originally proposed roles, feeling that their respective characters were within their comfort zone, they later agreed to play the opposite roles.[10] Priyanka Chopra joined the cast as the lead actress in October 2012.[11] The following month, Irrfan Khan was cast for the role of a police officer in the film.[12]
Chopra described her character Nandita, the cabaret dancer, as a
Singh described his and Kapoor's characters as "two outlaws with a bold attitude". They described the friendship between the inseparable characters as like "two sides of the same coin".[17] Kapoor further explained that Singh's character Bikram brings equilibrium to his character Bala, saying, "He (Bikram) is more in control and aware of his surroundings. Bala, on the other hand, is temperamental and acts in the heat of the moment."[17]
Filming
Rajat Poddar handled the production design while Aseem Mishra did the cinematography.[4] Subarna Ray Chaudhuri designed the costumes while Rameshwar S Bhagat edited the film.[4] Principal photography began on 14 December 2012 in Mumbai.[18] It was shot at the Chandivali Studio, where the scenes between Singh, Kapoor and Chopra were filmed.[19] The first schedule ended by December 2012.[19] While filming a song sequence, Singh injured himself after falling from a height; he suffered a gash on his cheek. He was rushed to the nearest hospital and had to get a few stitches.[20] The second schedule of the film started in January 2013 in Mumbai, where the streets of Howrah were recreated on the outskirts of the city.[19][21] The filming moved to Kolkata in mid-February, where the major portion of the film was filmed on-location.[21][22] One of the early filmed scenes included a dramatic Durga Puja sequence under the Howrah Bridge with a crowd of 1000 people, for which a huge pandal was created.[23] For building the pandal, a very old native professional was hired to give it an authentic 1980s look.[23]
The opening song "Jash-e-Ishqa" was filmed at the Howrah Bridge; several scenes were also filmed at the Jagannath Ghat and

Release
The first teaser poster was released in mid-December 2012, when the film began its production for a 2013 release.[41] In April 2013, it was announced that the film was scheduled to release on Valentine's Day, 14 February 2014.[42] The teaser trailer of the film was released on 22 November 2013 along with Gori Tere Pyaar Mein, and received a positive response, with India Today calling it "action-packed" and "promising".[43] In what appeared to be a promotional strategy, Priyanka Chopra's character did not appear in the teaser, generating media buzz. She asked the audiences to wait for the release.[44][45] On 12 December 2013, one day before the theatrical trailer release, the makers released the first look of Chopra, revealing that her character was a cabaret dancer, which had not been announced during production.[46][47]
The film's production studio released a range of merchandise, partnering with several brands for promotional purposes.[48] The music and trailers aided its marketing.[38] Gunday had its premiere in Dubai on 12 February 2014 with the full cast in attendance.[49] It was released theatrically on 14 February 2014 on 2700 screens.[2] A Bengali-dubbed version of the film was also released in West Bengal's small towns, where only Bengali films are shown.[6] The film was not released in Pakistan, where it was highly awaited, after the country stopped giving No-Objection Certificates to Indian films in early 2014 due to pending legislative changes.[50]
After the release of the film, Bangladeshis protested on social media over the introductory narration in the film, which says that Bangladesh was created through the Indo-Pakistani war of 1971 and that India's participation brought independence to Bangladesh.[51][52] People from Bangladesh demanded the production house to apologise for its inaccurate representation of its history. Contrary to the film's depiction, the country was created after the Bangladesh Liberation War, and India joined an already ongoing war of independence and was not the sole reason for the independence as told in the film.[52] An article published in The Wall Street Journal wrote that "to claim that India's participation alone brought about independence, as the film does, is incorrect [...] Bangladesh was born because Bangladeshi fighters had been battling the larger and better equipped Pakistani military for months. India's participation only quickened the war's end. It is the people of Bangladesh who liberated themselves from Pakistan."[52] Bangladeshis were also offended by a scene in the film where many Bangladeshis called themselves Indians and spoke Hindi.[52] A week later, Yash Raj Films made an official apology statement.[53]
Irate Bangladeshis launched a social media campaign with the hashtag "GundayHumiliatedHistoryOfBangladesh" on Twitter, asking people to bury the film on the Internet Movie Database (IMDb).[54] Facebook groups were formed to boycott and downvote the film. As a result, the film suffered from vote brigading on IMDb, where it was the lowest rated film at the time of its release, with a 1.4/10 rating based on more than 44,000 votes, 91% of which gave it one star. As of 2 August 2017[update], it holds a rating of 2.1/10.[54][55][56]
