Gangs of Wasseypur: Part 2 (2012)

Director: Anurag Kashyap
Writers:  Zeishan Quadri, Akhilesh, Sachin Ladia, Anurag Kashyap
Cast:      Nawazuddin Ziddiqui, Tigmanshu Dhulia, Huma Qureshi, Zeishan Quadri
Language:Hindi

The saga of clashes between Qureishis and Khans abetted by the Singhs continue stretching over the 90s and noughties. Faisal Khan (Nawazuddin Ziddiqui) takes center stage following the death of his father and brother and plenty of new characters are introduced deftly.

The second part is more of a dark comedy with the introduction of new characters like Perpendicular, Tangent and Definite. If people were concerned  that with Manoj Bajpayee's Sardar Khan dead, the film will lack charisma, Nawazuddin Ziddiqui's Faisal Khan is as good if not better. Compared to first film less narration is used in the first half of this film and it is better because of it. The second half is a bit tiresome with unfunny chase sequences and it became more of a farce. 

Overall Gangs of Wasseypur is a great watch and it would have been interesting to watch it in its entirety in one go.

Rating: 3.5/5
