Gangs of Wasseypur Review

Gangs of Wasseypur directed by Anurag Kashyap portrays the life of three generations of a Muslim family in the eastern part of India during the second half of the twentieth century. It is a real-story-turned-into-fiction of the gangsters ' warfare in Wasseypur and Dhanbad which are small places in Bihar. It portrays how personal jealousy and struggle to gain political and financial power turns into immense hatredness for each. Personal revenges come into picture as everyone wants to settle scores and multiply the killings.

Sardar Khan(Manoj Bajpai) is the son of Shahid Khan who used to rob trains. As the latter is shown bald swearing in to take revenge for the death of his father who was killed by Ramadhir Singh, the man who had claimed the rights of a coal mine after the Independence. Sardar Khan is a fearsome, clever, gutsy and a big mouth fellow whose cause of living is to destroy Ramadhir and finally kill him to complete his father's revenge.

The movie also comprises of few comedy scenes and abusive punches as one would say where every character makes fun of himself a few times in the movie. The lust of Sardar Khan adds some interest to the viewers. Richa Chadda is at her best playing the role of Nagma Khatun( 1st wife of Sardar Khan). Even she has been portrayed as a gutsy young woman who isn't shy of speaking few f-words. His second wife Durga, has a small role with whom Sardar has one child. Both of his wives are motormouths who don't shy away from speaking the ugliest of a language. The story initially revolves around Sardar Khan trying to firm his business and trying slowly to take over Ramadhir.

The next half witnesses the entry of Nawazuddin Siddiqui who delivers his performance on-screen till that movie. He looks like a typical son of a Gangster with a moustache and fierce looking attire. He is a drugaholic and an irresponsible son but later realizes and turns into a Don Faizal Khan.

Movie is full of violence and abusive language where all the characters can be seen speaking the street slang as often as ever. The music is actually absent in the movie apart from a song Womaniya. Dialogue delivery in way beyond the average mark and hence gives an exciting experience to the viewers. You may need to ask a slumdog for the meanings of some of the slangs used in the movie. The climax is where the movie drags the viewers to the edges and makes curious to know what happens next.

The movie is full of abusive content and advised to not watch with children. It also has adult contents and communal violence and may affect children's ideologies. All in all it is a good movie with a mixture of violence and funny stuff with abusive content at its best. Must watch for young boys aged 18-25.
