And this risk paid off because the madness has become really popular. While I'm not a huge fan of innuendo, 'hunter' tune has really gotten to me. Just in case, any of us had any doubt about Anurag Kashyap's love for taking risk, just listen to the soundtrack once. Here's hoping Gangs of Wasseypur will do it with a captivating narrative and detailed characters. Doing it in two parts with story spread over a few decades is likely to re-register the age old conclusion that gangster films try to make - war is futile, revenge is futile. You can tell the characters relish humiliating each other. You can see the ganglord's ( Manoj Bajpai) character growth even in the trailers. In many ways, it looks like it will be our heartland's own Godfather. Should we admire this as confidence or get cynical about over-confidence? Should we snub at it as arrogance or for once admire the guts behind the arrogance? Even if it's not all at one go, and the two parts are split two weeks apart, it is a huge risk. There's dark humor, there's gory violence, there's supposedly material worth over 5 hours of run-time. I want to love the film I want everyone to love the film well, I want everyone to excitedly wait for the film - which is why I have to watch myself closely for biases when reviewing it.Īnyway, enough about my emotions, let's get to the film. If there's one name I'd like to blindly follow and watch every film that he had anything to do with, it would have to be Anurag Kashyap's.
