Shattering the dictums of conventional Indian cinema, the two Gangs of Wasseypur films emerged in the midst of 2012’s monsoon as a refreshing change from the staple movie fare. Anurag Kashyap’s masterpiece traces the lineage of hate, corruption and violence centring around three crime families based in the politically-unhinged town of north Bihar, Wasseypur, didn’t fail to impress moviegoers. One of the year’s most awaited films, delivered the right amount of chills, thrills and action.
With a stupendously talented cast, that was every bit as big as the films themselves, including names such as Manoj Bajpai, Reema Sen, Nawazuddin Siddiqui, Tigmanshu Dhulia, this historic film outlined the illegal trade of coal, making many real life references from the socio-political milieu of corruption-torn Bihar. This collector’s edition DVD set has both films, Gangs of Wasseypur and Gangs of Wasseypur II, and is a treat for any fan of action, drama and crime related films. Discover a world where hearts are black as coal, and intenshions are blunted by raw ambition with this must-have set.
