Gangs of Wasseypur Part 2 is an Indian crime film co-written, produced and directed by Anurag Kashyap. It is the second instalment of the Gangs of Wasseypur series centered around Power Struggles, Politics and Vengeance among three crime families. Part two features an ensemble cast with Nawazuddin Siddiqui, Richa Chadda, Tigmanshu Dhulia, Pankaj Tripathi, Raj Kumar Yadav, Huma Qureshi and Zeishan Quadri in the major roles and its story spans from the 1990s to 2009.

The sequels were originally shot as a single film measuring a total of 318 minutes and screened at the 2012 Cannes Directors' Fortnight[4][5][6][7] but since no Indian theatre would volunteer to screen a five plus hour movie, it was divided into two parts (159 mins and 158 mins respectively) for the Indian Market.

The film received an Adults Only certification from the Indian Censor Board but is still unusually explicit for Indian standards as it contained authentic lingo and violence generally suppressed by Mainstream Indian movies.[8] The films soundtrack is heavily influenced by traditional Indian folk songs tending to be philosophical and liberal with its heavy use of sexual innuendos.

Part two was released on Aug 08, 2012 across India. Gangs of Wasseypur 2 had some paid previews on August 7,2012.[9]

Plot

Picking up from the the first part, Danish Khan murders the captured gunman involved in his father's assassination, Sardar Khan. Sardar's second wife, Durga, is now a maid in Ramadir Singh's (Tigmanshu Dhulia) household. Danish and Asgar attempt to convince Faizal (Nawazuddin Siddiqui) that his friend Fazlu was the mole who spied for the Qureshis. Danish, in order to get a smaller jail sentence, surrenders to the police in a concocted case of thievery. After the court hearing, however, he is assassinated by Sultan Qureshi. A stoned and oblivious Faizal, returns home to the funeral of his dead brother. He gets in a conversation between Nagma (Richa Chadda) and Farhan where she identifies Faizal as a terminal junkie incapable of exacting revenge for the family.

Fazlu becomes a politician and wins Wasseypur's local elections. Faizal goes to congratulate him but by the end of the day brutally murders him instead. After Fazlu's gruesome murder, Faizal takes over as the new head of the crime syndicate. With the help of an ambitious but fraudulent small time businessman, Shamshad Alam, he attempts to expand his business interests.

Faizal Khan and Ramadhir Singh meet and discuss the circumstances which led to the blood feud. Ramadhir gives his consent to Faizal to retaliate against Sultan Qureshi under the condition that the Khan-Singh feud come to an end. After Faizal and Mohsina's (Huma Qureshi) marriage, Faizal kills Sultan's men who were involved in the murder of his father and his brother. Sultan, still oblivious of the truce between the Singhs and the Khans, calls Ramadhir, asking for permission to retaliate.

A 14-yr-old Perpendicular Khan (Aditya Kumar) robs local stores on the pretext of being Faizal's brother. An opportunistic Definite Khan (Zeishan Quadri), Faizal's stepbrother, also a nuisance to the public, aspires to become a gangster. Though being brought up in Ramadhir Singh's household, he grows to idolize Faizal and thus double-crosses Singh. At the instigation of local shopkeepers, Perpendicular Khan is murdered by Sultan Qureshi. At the same time, Shamshad Alam, on being caught short-changing Faizal, rats on Faizal's illegal operation to the police and gets him arrested. Definite Khan in order to gain Faizal's appreciation, attacks Shamshad Alam, grievously injuring him. Faizal, however, comes under the sway of Ikhlakh who, unknown to him, is Ramadhir Singh's mole; and in his greed for money, ignores Definite who eventually grows estranged from him. Faizal decides to join politics and contest a rigged election against Ramadhir Singh.

After Faizal's release, Sultan in a last-ditch effort, arranges an ambush on the Khan mansion to eliminate Faizal and his whole family (the opening scene of Part 1) but everyone escapes unharmed. Enraged at their failure, during the festivities of Muharram, Sultan's henchman brutally kill Asghar and Nagma at the marketplace, leaving Faizal blind with rage. With Definite's help, Sultan is tracked and gunned down.

On the voting day, Ikhlakh takes Faizal to a deserted place wanting to kill him, but Ikhlakh gets double-crossed by Definite. At the same time, Faizal becomes aware that that Ramadhir is in the same hospital where Shamshad has been admitted. Before they part, Mohsina tells Faizal that she is pregnant.

Faizal and Definite reach the hospital and a prolonged gunfight ensues between them and Ramadhir's men. Faizal kills Shamshad, and finally finds Ramadhir Singh hiding in the hospital's toilet, only to viciously pump several bullets into him. Later, Faizal and Definite surrender to the police.

After the police jeep stops near a hotel, Definite gets down and shoots Faizal to death. He walks towards J.P. and Durga, knowing that both their wishes are fulfilled. The last scene of the movie shows Mohsina and Farhan with Mohsina's and Faizal's son, who have relocated to Mumbai to start afresh.

Development

Anurag Kashyap had wanted to make a film set in Bihar with the name 'Bihar' for some time, but the project didn't take off. In 2008, he met Zeishan Quadri, writer of GANGS who told him about Wasseypur's story. The lawlessness of Dhanbhad and Wasseypur captured his imagination. Zeishan narrated a wide panoply of stories but what really attracted him was not the gang war itself, but the bigger story of the emergence of the mafia. According to Kashyap, telling the story through the eyes of a few families is what interested him but that also meant a longer reel. "We all know mafia exists but what they do, how they operate, why they do we don't know and that is something which forms the basis of the film".[11] Anurag Kashyap celebrated the success of Gangs Of Wasseypur 2, by throwing an iftaar party at a suburban hotel at Bandra in Mumbai on Friday, August 17, late evening.[12][13][14]

Filming

While filming in Varanasi in December 2010, the film's chief assistant director Sohil Shah was killed on shoot while performing a stunt scene.[15] The Movie has been dedicated to Sohil Shah. The film finished production in late March 2011, with Anurag Kashyap moving on to direct his next film immediately due to the accident.[16] Major portions of the film were shot in villages near Bihar.[17][18] Shooting of film also took place in Chunar.[19] Anurag Kashyap, who co-produced the film with Sunil Bohra, has said that it is his most expensive film and he reportedly had to spend 15 crore on paying the actors.[20] Both parts of Gangs Of Wasseypur together cost just 18.4 crore to make,which makes one film at 9.20 crore. Anurag Kashyap, the director of film has declared on twitter: "45 crores as reported in the media is false." 26 crore was spent on marketing the film.[21]

Marketing

The Gangs of Wasseypur franchise promoted a fake electoral campaign through the streets of Mumbai and Delhi to market the second installment of the political thriller. In several areas of the two cities, political posters had been plastered, in which the two opposing contestants from the movie Ramadhir Singh and Faizal Khan, vied for votes.[22] [23]

The main cast of 'Gangs Of Wasseypur 2' shot with the cast of Afsar Bitiya. Actors Nawazuddin Siddiqui (Faisal Khan) and Huma Qureshi (Mohsina) made a special appearance on the show.[24][25] [26] The show was aired on August 7-8,2012.[27]

As a part of the marketing campaign, the 'Wasseypur Patrika', a fictitious newspaper was made available online.[28]

Gangs of Wasseypur - Part 2 received mostly positive reviews. It is rated 7/10 on the Hindi film review aggregator website ReviewGang.[43]

Jaykumar Shah of Planet Bollywood gave the movie 8.5/10 stars, saying that "All in all, this is the best movie to come out from India this year so far. It is gritty, well-paced, extremely well-acted, genre defining, path breaking work of art. The movie is not for the ones who are not comfortable with violence being depicted graphically. If you can digest violence on screen, it is a sure winner."[30]

Mayank Shekhar of Daily Bhaskar gave the movie 4/5 stars, concluding that "A 520-minute mini-series format allows the filmmaker the scope to indulge. He’s clearly mastered the pop-corn art of sensational killings and colourful dialogue. The reason you prefer the second part of this film over the first is because this is where the beginning ties up with the end. You get a sense of the sheer scale of this film’s ambition. You can grasp the entire saga. You finally leave the theatre feeling slightly rejuvenated, but mostly heavy in the head. The film hits you like a thunder-bolt. Clearly that was the intention."[31]

Taran Adarsh of Bollywood Hungama gave the movie 4/5 stars, saying that "On the whole, GANGS OF WASSEYPUR 2 is an Anurag Kashyap show all through and without an iota of doubt, can easily be listed as one amongst his paramount works. An engaging movie with several bravura moments. Watch it for its absolute cinematic brilliancy!"[32]

Saibal Chatterjee of NDTV gave the movie 4/5 stars, stating that "The revenge, filmed with an operatic slo-mo rhythm, is bloodier than anything you would have seen before. But if you liked Gangs Of Wasseypur, there is no reason why won’t have another blast watching GOW II. But be warned: be sure that your stomach for blood and gore doesn’t give way."[33]

Blessy Chettiar of DNA India gave the movie 4/5 stars, commenting that "Guns speak where abusive language fails. Patience and a real kaleja will see you through this fast-paced, exhilarating blood fest. Kashyap makes sure the gore is beyond redemption. If you’re turned off by it, not his fault."[34]

Madhureeta Mukherjee of Times Of India gave the movie 4/5 stars, saying that "With excellent performances, a screenplay that's strung together beautifully (Zeishan Quadri, Akhilesh, Sachin Ladia, Anurag Kashyap) a revenge story that touches a dramatic crescendo and music that plays out perfectly in sync with tragic twists of tale - ' GOW II' is an interesting watch, for the brave-hearted. Like the first part, the movie slows down at times (with pointless pistols, hordes of characters and wasted sub-plots); the length needs to be shot down desperately. But otherwise, it's revenge on a platter - served cold (heartedly) and definitely worth a 'second' helping."[35]

Ananya Bhattacharya of Zee News gave the movie 4/5 stars, concluding that "While watching ‘Wasseypur’, the entire film takes your life away! ‘Gangs of Wasseypur 2’ is a film, which, with its predecessor, is one that is here to stay, to break conceptions, to demolish structures. With the history of Wasseypur, ‘Wasseypur’ has created another history."[36]

Meetu of Wogma gave the movie 3.5/5 stars, saying that "Gangs of Wasseypur II delivers on the promise of being a quirky revenge saga. A saga which holds no bars and lets loose the internal animal which revenge itself seems to have given birth to. A saga so full of characters that a keen film-lover would want to watch twice – only if they can stomach the violence in almost every frame and profanity in every other sentence. Others, shouldn't even bother."[37]

Raja Sen of Rediff gave the movie 3.5/5 stars, stating that "Anurag Kashyap shines once again in the concluding part of Gangs of Wasseypur even though the film is a tad too long. For all its folly -- and the fact that an hour could have been lopped off its running length, easy -- Gangs Of Wasseypur II provides enough cinematic memorabilia to single-handedly last us the summer."[38]

Kunal Guha of Yahoo! gave the movie 3/5 stars, commenting that "While it would be nice to inherit the right amount of angst for this revenge sequel, this one intermittently recaps what led whom to get where and why. Infact, the first part wasted a lot of time in flagging historical landmarks, in introducing characters and was much scattered with the number of elements and periods to be covered. This one has characters ready to dive into action with a quick backgrounder for new additions, leaving much time to weave a tighter and telling story. Chhi Chha Leather, definitely one that weathers."[39]

Conversely, Prathamesh Jadhav of Bollywood Life gave the movie 2.5/5 stars, saying that "In totality, Anurag Kashyap’s Gangs Of Wassepur II is murkier than its first outing, but it certainly isn’t spicier."[40]

Roshni Devi of Koimoi gave the movie 2/5 stars, stating that "It’s only the actors and the music of Gangs Of Wasseypur 2 that would make it worth the watch."[41]

Martin D'Souza of Glamsham gave the movie 1.5/5 stars, concluding that "In short, Part II 'Definitely' does not have a 'Perpendicular' rise. It is off 'Tangent'!"[42]

International

International critics have given Gangs of Wasseypur, the first mainstream Bollywood film to be selected for the Director's Fortnight, rave reviews following its world premiere at the 65th Cannes Film Festival. Gangs of Wasseypur premiered at the 65th Cannes Film Festival on the evening of May 22, 2012 as the most highly anticipated Indian film. Deborah Young of The Hollywood Reporter called the film "an extraordinary ride through Bollywood’s spectacular, over-the-top filmmaking".

Kashyap, whose reputation as a screenwriter and controversial director reach a culmination in this film, is the real behind-the-scenes godfather, never losing control over the story-telling or hundreds of actors, and allowing tongue-in-cheek diversions in the second half that confirm his command over the sprawling material. In the spirit of Bollywood, Rajiv Ravi’s lensing is fast on its feet, with a continually moving camera that always seems to be in the right spot to capture the action. Referring to the violence and pace of the film she says "Gangs of Wasseypur puts Tarantino in a corner with its cool command of cinematically-inspired and referenced violence, ironic characters and breathless pace".[44]

Maggie Lee of Variety notes Kashyap never lets his diverse influences of old-school Italo-American mafia classics a la Coppola, Scorsese and Leone, as well as David Michod's taut crime thriller "Animal Kingdom,override the distinct Indian color.Calling the film "the love child of Bollywood and Hollywood," she felt the film was "by turns pulverizing and poetic in its depiction of violence."[45]

Lee Marshall of Screen International writes "the script alternates engagingly between scenes of sometimes stomach-churning violence and moments of domestic comedy, made more tasty by hard-boiled lines of dialogue like “in Wasseypur even the pigeons fly with one wing, because they need the other to cover their arse” ". He describes song lyrics "as if mouthed by a Greek chorus of street punks" commenting sarcastically on what’s happening onscreen.[46]
