Gangs of Wasseypur: A new era of Indian Cinema
When I walked out of the theater after watching Gangs of Wasseypur, the
much awaited Anurag Kashyap's movie, Pankaj Agrawal asked me kaisi lagi movie?? I said, Achchi lagi, but thodi maar kaat jyaada hai. But, later when I thought about it, I realized, I had witnessed one of the most spectacular movies of Bollywood so far, and all the violence was justified.
It's about greed, it's about lust, it's about raw vulgarity, it's about hatred, it's about revenge but above all it's about perfection of Manoj Vajpai aka Sardaar Khan, Richa Chadda aka Najma Khatoon, Tigmanshu Dhulia aka Ramadhir Singh, sexiness of Reema Sen aka Durga, narration of Piyush Mishra aka Farhan, music of Sneha Khanwalkar and direction of Anjurag Kashyap.
It's the greed of Sardaar Khan's father and coal-mafia Ramadhir Singh which developed hatred in Sardaar Khan's heart for Ramdhir singh and forced him to take revenge and then he says "Maarenge nahi saale ko, keh ke lenge uski". It's the natural lust of Sardaar Khan for prostitutes and Durga and which makes his wife Najma Khatoon's abuses look so real and appropriate. The vulgarity is so raw that the words don't seem like abuses and don't be surprised if the vulgarity makes you laugh your heart out in between. I don't remember any other Bollywood movie which had such a fantastic narration as given by Nasir, Sardaar Khan's uncle and caretaker. Sardaar singh's son's inherited lust from their father and to the extent that one of them gets married to the daughter of enemy.
Movie revolves around the Coal-mafia of Dhanbad, Sardaar Khan and his family and Quereshi's. It has lot of violence, and if you don't like seeing someone being killed brutally, specially someone's auzaar :P being cut with knives and swords then you better don't watch it. The movie has a class of it's own and is completely different from any other Bollywood movie. The music of Sneha Khanwalkar fits to the core essence of the movie and Piyush Mishra's poetry makes it even better. Specially the lines "Ik bagal mein chaand hoga, ik bagal mein rotiyaan. Ik bagal mein neend hogi, ik bagal mein loriyaan.Hum chaand pe roti ki chaadar daal kar so jaayenge.." make perfect justice to the scene they are played in. All the songs are perfect fit to the corresponding scenes.
In the end, when Sardaar Khan comes out of the car after being hit with may be a more than hundred bullets, he looks like a lion and then Jiya Tu Bihar ke Lala makes a spine chilling effect. In one word, the movie is Outstanding and a must watch.
