Action Crime Drama

Shahid Khan robs British trains in 1941 pretending to be the dacoit Sultana. He is exiled, becomes a muscleman for Ramadhir Singh at the coal mines, and is killed when Singh sees him as a threat. His son Sardar Khan shaves his head and swears not to grow his hair until Singh is dead. Gangs of Wasseypur is five hours and twenty minutes across two parts, and Cannes showed it in one sitting.

What Happens Across Sixty-Eight Years

Part one is Sardar, played by Manoj Bajpayee, taking Wasseypur by force and losing it to his own appetites, with two wives and a hundred enemies. Part two is his son Faizal, played by Nawazuddin Siddiqui, a stoner who watches Bollywood films and does not want the job, until his brother is shot. Faizal becomes the most dangerous man in the film. Ramadhir Singh, played by Tigmanshu Dhulia, outlasts everyone by never watching films. Definite, Perpendicular and the family tree take the story to 2009.

Why It Changed Hindi Cinema

Kashyap shot in Dhanbad and Varanasi with mostly unknown actors, and half of them became stars. Sneha Khanwalkar’s music, from Womaniya to Keh Ke Lunga, is built from folk and street recordings. “Tumse na ho payega” became a meme. The Bollywood-inside-Bollywood jokes, with every character naming their favourite star, are the film’s theory of why India is the way it is.
