Gangs of Wasseypur:  As Raw as Blood

Finally Anurag Kashyap has done it with his “Gangs of Wasseypur” , a film so Raw that you will feel blood in you and go to the interiors of Jharkhand and Bihar.  A film tells you about decades of Revenge between the different clans with Coal Mining Mafia as the background.

The script very bound that nothing has been compromised in it. A very clean script which tells every detail about the story without any drag or forcefully injected characters. The film revolves around characters that are very realistically portrayed to a very large extent.

Manoj Bajpaee has done a wonderful job as Sardar Khan the central character around whom the story happens. The story traces back to the pre-independence era when coal mining was started as a trade and goes through the lives of people who depended on the mines for life and the clans fighting for their power.

The film technically is very raw and every shot and scenes break the cliché of the trade mark Indian cinema.  Especially the areas when Sardar uses his first gun, the place when Najma instructs her son to give the lunch box full of raw materials to make a bomb are very realistic.

The camera just reprises the eye of the director and shows us the story as it is, the dialogues are to be noted and thanks to the Censor board for making the film reach the screens as raw as it is now.

Every Actor has carried the film on their shoulders with at most care. The film sows seed for the part 2 of it, and the trailer rises the expectation to a peak.

Finally Gangs of Wasseypur is as raw as Anurag and the writer within him.
