Entertainment Desk: Anurag Kashyap’s ‘Gangs of Wasseypur’ – Part 2, the second episode of ‘the Gangs of Wasseypur’ series is rich with acting and action. Crime has been depicted in a completely different algorithm and that is the best thing about the film.

 

Of course the film is a bit long and also not free from a few story-jerks. Kashyap has presented the tale of such a city where one can be get killed even for asking an address though it looks quiet exaggerated and absurd.

 

The film begins exactly from the point where it was left in its prequel. At the end of the first Chapter of the Wesheypur series, Manoj Bajpayee’s character was showered with bullets and Nawazuddin Siddiqui takes over the game in the sequel. Yes, his acting is perfect as a most swaggering mercurial gangster.

 

Both the parts have an identical ending. While Manoj Bajpai’s character Sardar Khan dies in the first episode, Nawazuddin Siddiqui’s character, Faizal Khan is gunned down mercilessly by the people whom he depends on in the second and concluding part.

 

The second part was released on 8^th August in India. Actually the full film were originally shot as a single movie measuring a total of 318 minutes that had been screened at the 2012 Cannes Directors' Fortnight, but for comfortable watching the same was divided into two parts and released one after one in a gap of few days.

 

The film does not star any known big star, but whatever it has is its script and performance. Actors of the film cannot be blamed as they have presented their best, and of course the outcome is an outstanding one. But yes, the work is not completely flawless.

 

The series of miscommunication and misinformation among the assassins when Sultan Qureshi (Pankaj Tripathi) is to be gunned down in a crowded market is straight out of comic-action films from the 1980s.

 

Also, Faizal Khan’s transition to a feared gangster is not fully explained and there are quite a few funny scenes of violence. In short, the whole plot is blood-soaked with bullets and it is nothing but just a saga of gangsterism.

 

Some new fun is really crazy. Like in the scene where a brass-band pays homage at funerals through gloomy Bollywood numbers.
