Now that everyone would have seen or at least heard about this epic cinema , as i would call , and no one can stop me, the is a reason for self-analysis why this movie for me is so special in Indian Cinema.
My review of Part I would have emphasized on the passing of Baton to Part II in a very classic touch , though Part I stands itself as an individual movie , there is lot to take from part I , and you are a semi lunatic if you sit in theatre watching just this part.
Sardar Khan is brutally killed, now where it goes, how the next generation takes the revenge of their ‘bujurgs’ , What shall Faizal Khan do , who shall support him , who shall betray him, will he kill Quereshi clan and Ramadhir Singh , that his father and Grandfather wasn’t able to do , What happens to him is just what it was going to be , but its own style. Style unique only to the city, people , generation.
Nawasuddin Siddique is not only a great find, but he is future of Indian Cinema. Why is so? Future of Indian Cinema leaving out mainstream commercialism, the characters played by him in Kahani and here , and in Pan Singh Tomar is what going to be the future of Indian Cinema , where Film Making takes a middle way between mainstream commercialism and so called art film. This type of making is commercially much more viable with huge returns and less investment and what we call with a Midas touch.
Without going for a spoiler , the scene where he kills Ramadhir singh, the agony he faces when he is cornered , the attitude he shows , he is what i call / the people like him / what i call the future of Indian Cinema.
Piyush Mishra Nagma Khatoon and others who had prominent role in first part did their justice for the role continued here. The second part is complete ride of Faizal khan and Zeishan Quadri , and i m sure no one could even think to deny this. And this is apt , again with no spoilers watch it.
The characterization of Zeishan Quadri is well plotted that for sure Anurag would have thought it that from scene one. Though Huma quershi didn’t have much part to play in latter half of Part II , but the montages involving her has been rightly pictured and she has lived the role. If it was ironic display of Huma Quershi in Latter part of first Part , it’s tough and bold sometimes timid lady in former part of first half. But i would say , taking the characterisation of Huma Quershi, The Casting of Gangs of Wasseypur is a bulls eye shot from Anurag.
Coming to Ramadhir Singh and Sultan Quershi , played by Tigmanshu Dhulia and Pankaj Tripathi. We all know Tigmanshu for his once in life time cinema "Hassil" , but i recognize him as a fellow who comes to talk in a public telephone booth when Shah Rukh khan runs behind Manisha Koirala in Dil se, and yeah he is the co-writer of a MANI Movie and for me one of the classics of Mani. Pan Singh Tomar and GOW (I & II) are taking Tigmanshu Dhulia in a path from where he can become one of the top notch talents in Indian Cinema and yeah ..... he is the Hassil Man.
The Role played here of Ramadhir Singh is the back bone of this Epic. There is no scope for losing the string that can lead to a sick film because , only when his role is portrayed strong , the roles played by Nawasuddin and Manoj can live to what it is now.
Particularly his body language and the way he acts when he is saying rich valued dialogues plotting the story in a comical way, he has lived as Ramadhir singh. Take a Bow.
Pankaj Tripathi as Sultan Quershi has not only lived for what he has mesmerized as the fellow who got trapped between his moral and struggling to save his life, taking revenge ... the ferociousness when he thwarts inside Faizal's area ... Picture perfect talent.
For me this movie stand alone or together with the part I is what each and every director needs to look upon , the budget is not a stop for making a cinema and i mean it. Anurag Kashyap has lived to what he would have imagined and i can visualize how strong he would have been in his emotions on the day of its release.
If you could ask me to rate what is so special about this movie , i would end up listing the entire divisions of Film making , the aweness with which movie is made , made me to feel forget even small mistakes.
My Famous dialogue in the movie is the statement made my Ramadhir singh on Indian cinema and its effect on the public. Hilariously true.
Reema Sen .. you see why she is not just hip churning bomb but she is actress which has act in it.
Now let’s come to main team behind this epic without whom movie is just a dust.
The relationship among Anurag Kashyap , Manoj Bajpai , Tigmanshu Dhulia Piyush Mishra is not new it’s from the days of Satya and assisting Ram Gopal Varma. Zeishan Quadri who played the role of Definite and also the writer of the film , the locale of Wasseypur. Sneha Khanwalker and GV Prakash for their music.Rajeev for handling lens.
More i write about this movie , it would become talking the well-known fact, so watch this movie. Don’t call yourself a movie fan , cinema fan , I love Indian Cinema , to some extent DONT SAY HOLLYWOOD STANDARDS IF FILM MAKING IS SUPER .... WITHOUT SEEING GANGS OF WASSEYPUR.
For Me Gangs of Wasseypur is a movie to be watch on last day of your life in death bed....
