Gangs of Wasseypur is made to look as authentic as possible. A story which is said to be 80% real and 20% fiction, traces the Wasseypur mafia from pre-independence days, particularly focuses on one lineage which is at war with the established mafia of the town and jostles for supremacy. Other than Manoj Bajpai in first part and Nawaz in the second, particularly impressive were Richa Chadda as the gangster wife Nagma, the scene where she drives away the police searching for jail-breaking Sardar Khan with pitch perfect accent and aggression, debudant Tigmangshu Dhulia as the politiican Ramadhir Singh was cool and 'Definite' Zeishan Kadri is strikingly . The desi-bidesi tunes, moments of confusion and dialogues put in ample doses of humour amongst the blood, gore, deceit and ruthlessness of the gun wielding gangs. Use of the Godfather tune was also notable akin to the plot's resemblance with the iconic film. Nawaz plays a waiter when Manoj Vajpeyee was the main man in Shool and 13 years later he got to play his son and the lead in Part 2, just goes to show the struggle one has to go through on way up if from outside Bolly families. Anurag Kashyap's magnum opus rightfully made its way straight into IMDB Top 250. 8/10.
