As you all
know we really appreciated director Anurag Kashyap for his fearless attempt
called Gangs of वासेपुर which made
an impression on everyone from Cannes to our own Bollywood.
GANGS OF वासेपुर – 2
released this week with lot of eagerness in fans of GOW -1 and the wait was
worth it. The only movie I can remember of, that released in 2 parts ever was
Rakht Charitra starring Vivek Oberoi but it couldn’t manage to generate the
kind of anticipation GOW has managed to attain.
To enjoy
this movie all you need to know is that Faizal Khan’s grandfather and father
were killed by Ramadhir Singh and grandson Faizal Khan has an inherited sort of
revenge responsibility, everything else in part 2 falls in place. Anurag
Kashyap has kept the two parts of the movie far from complicated interlinks and
flashbacks which usually directors do; to make sure you watch the prequel(s) to
follow the conclusive part.
Wasseypur
is no more the town that was once consumed by the raging war between Sardar
Khan and Ramadhir Singh. It has spawned a new generation of money squandering
lobbyists, turning into foolhardy gangs overnight. With illegal profiteering
through scrap trade auctions over the Internet, corrupt government officials,
election rigging and hooliganism, the town got murkier. Everyone wanted alliance
with the most powerful man of Wasseypur, Faizal Khan. His sole ambition
however, is to annihilate Ramadhir Singh, the man with the grand scheme. Gangs
of वासेपुर - 2 is a fitting conclusion to this
story of vengeance, which by now, not just the family but also this town has
come to inherit.
Talking
about the performances, every character is just - wow! Be it perpendicular,
Definite, Tangent or the star of the movie Faizal Khan a.k.a Nawazuddin
Siddiqui. With his unconventional looks and exceptional acting abilities he has
made his every screen presence as sheer brilliance. Portrayed as an underdog in
the first part and the start of the second part he effortlessly transitions
between the change of characterizations and comes up as the protagonist who avenges
what his family and city wanted.
Another
striking element in the movie is the casting. Each character has been well
casted e.g. the guy who sings in Bhojpuri style or Perpendicular that fellates
a razor blade in his mouth every cast is apt, new and yet does not give you
that amateur performance in fact their performance is better than some of the
so called stars in our industry! Thanks to casting director Mukesh Chabbra and
I will not be surprised if he walked away with couple of award for it at the
end of this year.
The
actresses in the movie are meaningful. Especially Richa Chadda playing Faizal’s
mother impressively evolves into an aged lady who is confident and forces his
son to seek revenge.
The way movie is shot and presented on the screen
is commendable in fact you should look forward to a chase sequence, amidst the bustling city
is as real as it gets. Songs are crude and reflect the flavor of the
movie. The movie claims that it is based
on real incidents that occurred in Bihar over the period of 6 decades so people
who may complain or suggest that story could have better should get their
answers since director chose not to tamper with it.
The
movie sure has turned out to be magnum opus.
