As with Al Pacino's Michael Corleone in The Godfather, it's the least likely of Sardar's children - the perpetually stoned Faizal (Nawazuddin Siddiqui) - who rises to the top ranks of the Khan crime family, vowing brutal revenge on their longtime nemesis, the wily and seemingly unstoppable Ramadhir Singh (Tigmanshu Dhulia). Gangs Of Wasseypur mirrors the tumultuous and explosive growth of modern India with ferocious cinematic intensity. Inspired by the real-life exploits of local gangs and beginning with the bandit-like career of Shahid Khan (Jaideep Ahlawat) in the 1940s, the film follows the ruthless rise of his son Sardar (a brilliant Manoj Bajpayee) and his offspring, the surreally-named Danish, Perpendicular and Definitive Khans and their numerous wives and girlfriends. From Guneet Monga, the producer of The Lunchbox, the most successful foreign-language movie of 2014 to date in the U.S., Gangs Of Wasseypur is director/writer/producer Anurag Kashyap's ambitious and extraordinary blood-and-bullets fueled crime saga that charts seventy years in the lives - and spectacular deaths - of two mafia-like families fighting for control of the coal-mining town of Wasseypur, India.
