Gangs of Wasseypur - Part 1 (2012)

Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.

As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

The acting in this movie is really good.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

Movie is excellent but doesn't reach to the level of Satya or a Company which were fantastic because of its pacing and impact which they leave on viewing it all the time...The movie is at par with Ajay Devgns Gangaajal in terms of violence and execution. Acting by all especially Nawaz and Manoj is great but the latter was much better in Satya...Manoj's best film and performance would always be in Satya and no takeaway in case of this flick...Direction and dialogues are soul of the film...The accent and brutality shown is so real that there is no flaw in this aspect at all...Overall, I went gaga over this film when I watched it for the first time and had not seen Satya... Still would say a superb movie which is different from the regular cinema that Bollywood churns our everyday...Highly Recommended!!

I liked it because it is the first movie which have hindi abusive language and i have never seen such a movie with such great story line and one of the darkest villain and hero .such a great acting by Manoj Bajpayee and Tigmanshu Dhulia and direction by Anurag Kashyap and great story by Zeishan Quadri which is by the way based on true life. GREAT MOVIE MUST WATCH FOR ALL

Keeping its streamlined editorial of 320 minutes going with fluent camera movements in on-location environments, steady story advancements, character developments and uncompromising matured action scenes makes "Gangs of Wasseypur" first presented at Director's fortnight at Cannes Film Festival in 2012 an enjoyable Thriller by India's film industry.Director, producers and cast have been committed to realize the best picture possible without getting astray from the story told of killing or get killed in an the coal-mining area inside the city of Dhanbad. Technically flawlessly executed, "Gangs of Wasseypur" is filled with characters, which exist, scheme and survive. Conflicts between clans within the city limits get inherited from father to son.A gentle love story gets build into at times ultra-violent action shots. The picture has some Bollywood-obligatory musical ingredients, but fortunately stays away from dancing sessions in this one. Overall speaking is not much unsatisfactory to report about "Gangs of Wasseypur". The film is knowledgeable in its character scenes, daring in its action scenes and further working as an International representative for the Indian Film Industry to make out of borrowed ideas from cinematic history a watchable contemporary action drama.© 2017 Felix Alexander Dausend (Cinemajesty Entertainments LLC)

This is hands-down one of the best movies of the decade, not just from Indian cinema, but from all over the world. IMDb has merged it into one, but it's actually a 2 part saga of crime, loyalty, family, relationships and most importantly revenge.The story is stretched across three generations and starts with a disagreement between the Pahtan's and Qureshi's. Both these sects of Wasseypur already had a tough disagreements in the past, but Shahid Khan, a Pathan, masquerading himself as a Qureshi bandit boils the tension to a whole new level and Shahid Khan is forced to leave Wasseypur. Shahid moves to Dhanbad, where he meets a coal mine owner called Ramadhir Singh. Shahid plans to move up the ladder by killing Ramadhir Singh and taking his place, but to his surprise Ramadhir gets to know about this and haves him murdered.What begins is a vicious tale of revenge that leads to three generations of hatred and violence.There have been revenge movies before, but the one that can come close to GOW is Kill Bill. I can't decide which one is better at this point, but much like GOW it was 2-part revenge story where the motive was to eliminate one person.Acting in the movie was flawless all around. Manoj Bajpayee was perhaps the one who was the most interesting. However, Nawazudding Siddiqqui, Tigmanshu Dhulia, Richa Chadda and so many other actors give spectacular performances.Anurag Kashyap was able to deliver such a brilliant film, and I feel this movie still hasn't receive the recognition it deserves.Don't ignore this masterpiece just because it comes from an Industry notorious for creating happy-go-lucky dance sequences. It's not a film for the fainthearted, but this new generation of cinema from Bollywood needs to be appreciated.
