Gangs of Wasseypur!

A lot of people who watch this film will probably walk away wondering what the hell was that! A lot of people probably wont get all the nuances and minute titbits of information scattered all over the place. And certainly a lot of urban folk, a world away from semi rural Jharkhand, will not connect with it at all!

 

Its like studying for an exam with so many characters, plots and sub plots. But if you have the patience and watch with concentration you are richly rewarded with the film that is most likely to become a cult classic later, like Agneepath for e.g. I have known people who have watched it a second time and come back with subtle nuances that were not so obvious the first time round.


The masses, over-fed on frothy, masala potboilers of late, like Rowdy Rathore, Bodyguard etc will simply hate this film (the film requires you to use your brain for a change, unlike run-of-the-mill crass cinema of today!!!). But, when the subtle layers and plots become obvious, when the characters, who you first thought were just extras to fill in the scene start to make sense, you will realise the depth of thinking that has gone into the making of this film and the extraordinary genius of Anurag Kashyap! No dialogue is out of place, each scene replete with references to something in the film...this is what great cinema is all about.

Cant wait for Part 2!

 Well done Anurag Kashyap and the entire team of GOW!
