Aditya S A realistic film brought to life by amazing performances and strong character focus, but it falters in its extremely slow pacing and too many characters. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/05/25 Full Review Priyan B A great gangster movie in Indian cinema, first half have some cliche scenes but story picked up later and never loses the pace till end. 8.4/10 Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/12/24 Full Review william d I admit that at times I didn't know what was going on or who was whom. Still, I sat through the full 5+ hours in one sitting. It's fast paced and has a true "epic" quality. I'm a big fan of the gangster genre though. If you aren't you might want to give this one a pass.

Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Audience Member I didn't know who Anurag Kashyap was before I saw this film. And my mind was blown. This is the best gangster movie Bollywood has ever made, and that's saying something since Once Upon a Time in Mumbaai also exists. When the film begins, it seems like it will be the same old, generic good guy vs bad guy movie. But as the story progresses, the line between the good and bad people blurs to the point where it doesn't exist anymore. In the beginning it feels like Sardar Khan is supposed to be the hero, but slowly he's shown to be a terrible person who gets in fights with everyone and marries a second time just because he's getting horny. Nawazuddin Siddiqui's Faisal is introduced in the second part after the demise of Sardar Khan. The bad guys really make you feel like killing them, and the way they speak is very reminiscent of the villages from Bihar and east UP. The acting by literally everyone is phenomenal, such that it inspired memes for years to come, and that's being in a good way. Every scene has been choreographed so well it actually gives you the feeling of those poor, low class families from suburban areas. It doesn't matter how many web series come up - Mirzapur, Paatal Lok, Sacred Games. The fact remains that Gangs of Wasseypur is the OG that started it all, and no one can ever replace its legacy.
