Gangs of Wasseypur

GREAT MOVIES: Anarag Kashyap's Gangs of Wasseypur (India, 2012) - Though it runs at over five hours, there’s never a dull moment in this Indian gangland epic by one of India’s hottest indie directors, Anurag Kashyap. Oozing visual style, laced with tight and often blackly comic dialogue, bolstered by tasty performances and a driving neo-Bollywood soundtrack, this Tarantino-tinged Bihari take on The Godfather has what it takes to cross over from the Indian domestic and Diaspora markets to reach out to action-loving, gore-tolerant theatrical and auxiliary genre audiences worldwide. 2012CANdf, 2012TOR, 2013SUN. RATING: 9
