Gangs of Wasseypur Movie Review

Ratings:3.5/5 Reviewer:Taran Adarsh Site:Bollywood Hungama

On the whole, GANGS OF WASSEYPUR symbolizes the fearless new Indian cinema that shatters the clichés and conventional formulas, something which Anurag Kashyap has come to be acknowledged for. It has all the trappings of an entertainer, but with a difference. The film prides itself with substance that connects with enthusiasts of new-age cinema. But, I wish to restate, one needs to have a really strong belly to soak up to a film like GANGS OF WASSEYPUR. Also, this striking movie-watching experience comes with a colossal length and duration. The reactions, therefore, would be in extremes. GANGS OF WASSEYPUR is for that segment of spectators who seek pleasure in watching forceful, hard-hitting and gritty movies.

Ratings:3.5/5 Reviewer:Madhureeta Mukerjee Site:Times of india

Director Anurag Kashyap, in his trademark style of story- telling - realistic, with strong characters, over-the-top sequences, and unadulterated local flavour (crude maa-behen gaalis galore), gruesome bloody violence and raw humour - interestingly spins this twisted tale. This first of a two-part film, is ambitious indeed; showing promise of brilliance in parts, but not bullet-proof to flaws.But beware; GOW is not for the weak-hearted. So, hold on to your guns, gamchas and 'womaniyas'.Tip off: Brace yourself for the crudest gaalis, blood-baths and gory visuals of hanging carcasses.

Ratings:2.5/5 Reviewer:Raja Sen Site:Rediff

And the yawns are the primary issue with Anurag Kashyap's Gangs Of Wasseypur, an impressively ambitious -- and excellently shot -- collection of memorable characters and entertaining scenes, set to a killer soundtrack. The film never recovers from the unforgivably tedious first half-hour, and despite many laudable moments and nifty touches, never quite engages.Yet it is the excess that suffocates all the magic, originality dying out for lack of room to breathe. Kashyap gets flavour, setting and character right, but the lack of economy cripples the film. There is a lot of gunfire, but like the fine actors populating its sets, Wasseypur fires too many blanks.

Anurag Kashyap’s ambitious gangster saga is a trippy outburst of vivid characters reeking of revenge, deep-seethed rivalries blended with an off-kilter soundtrack and clever dialogue.GOW is grand in terms of scale. Spanning over two generations, Kashyap has successfully managed to add depth to the story and soul to his characters. As if on ecstasy, once the film begins, it refuses to slow down.In terms of storytelling, GOW is surely entertaining but isn’t fearless. At times it crouches and hides behind unnecessary montages and sub-plots that ultimately leave you a tad bit underwhelmed. The film doesn’t disappoint but it also doesn’t satiate your hunger. The second part trailer has been attached at the end of the film. You come out of the theatre feeling anxious to know what’s going to transpire in the second part.

Gangs of Wasseypur I, little do we realise we are going to get sucked into a vortex of heady violence, twisted fates and tales of vengeance. Written by Zeishan Quadri, Akhilesh, Sachin Ladia and Kashyap, GOW I runs for over two hours. Cuss words and smart repartee are commonplace, with the women being at the centre of most comedic encounters of the men. The sexual tension doubles up as comic relief in the fast-paced thriller. a to-be-continued finale, can leave you exhausted and confused.Here’s a film that demands 100% attention and it won’t stop till it has it.

Ratings:-3.5/5 Reviewer:Saibal Chattarjee Site:NDTV Movies


         When Faizal touches Mohsina’s hand for the first as they sit by a pond, her reaction is self-righteously coy but delectably manipulative. She accuses Faizal of trying to take advantage of her. ‘How dare you touch me without asking for permission,’ Mohsina intones. A befuddled Faizal gropes helplessly for an answer. It’s moments of pure inspiration like these, and there are plenty, that lift Gangs of Wasseypur above the constrictions of the genre. It may not for the faint-hearted and the prissy. Gangs of Wasseypur is a heavyweight knockout punch. You’re down for the count!
