"Gangs of Wasseypur" has been a forerunner in Crime Thrillers since early 2010s. It flaunts enough intrepidity with violent stuffs. Nevertheless it totters due to a sparse narration, therefore a prolonged screenplay adds up to its ambiguity!



Amidst a profusion of talents on board; the narrative style eradicates its adeptness. Therefore failing to compliment an authentic art direction. Cinematography & the Ambience being set in correlation with realism bearing fruitful results In storytelling. Presentation is ethereal with memorable dialogues glazed by witty humour. Soundtrack takes an unconventional yet interesting route which may have polarizing point of views.

Performances are extraordinaire. And why it wouldn't be? Just take a peek at the ensembled cast, carefully assembled by Mr. Kashyap. Jaydeep Ahlawat, Pankaj Tripathi, Manoj Bajpayee, Nawazuddin Siddiqui, Richa Chadda, Vineet Kumar, Huma Qureshi. Today, each one of them having their own shows; enduringly proves Anurag's prowess as a talent spotter.

Despite with a plethora of positives, Some facets of the execution are off putting. A tedious runtime with disheveled narration confusing me several times. The timelines being mentioned in here aren't properly coordinated. Handling all the different characters with same importance & value isn't an easy task. The writing here definitely lacks in that aspect as well. The story shines the brightest in high octane moments. Likewise delivering a relatively pallid outcome regarding romantic Interests and dramatic portions.

In conclusion, I had too much expectations going in. It doesn't absolutely disappoint but I had definitely hoped for more. Perhaps the higher standards constantly given by OTT platforms in similar contents have spoiled me big time!
