Storyline
In the second half of the 19th century, a dejected painter (after being turned down by many) decided to become a missionary. He moved to a small Belgian town of coal miners in poverty. He saw a lot of characters in this poor peasant folk and it is here that Vincent Van Gogh created his first famous painting, in his own style characterized by Coarse and harsh strokes. Rajeev Ravi (cinematographer) and Anurag Kashyap together do a Van Gogh in the first one hour of Gangs of Wasseypur. The treatment and feel of the first hour of the movie is unlike anything you have seen before. Gangs of Wasseypur is a painting of moving images with coarse language and harsh strokes of light on dark background. It defies tradition like a Van Gogh painting too. Story telling in Anurag Kashyap movies has remained immoral and is not dependent on a protagonist; neither does it try to create an emotional bond which drives you as an audience to take pleasure in the character's motives and actions. It is one visual cue leading to another in order to tell a story. The place, the language and the plot become more important than the themes and messages. The face of Indian cinema is not going to remain the same. With movie being internationally well received, there has been a lot of anticipation and excitement for the movie. Is the movie an epic story? Does the movie represent the current regional dynamics in India? Do the makers of movies like Dev D, Gulaal, Hanuman and No Smoking add a new dimension to their portfolio? Well the answer is most certainly yes but how they achieve this is something we will try to explore.
Gangs of Wasseypur is a crime and revenge drama sprinkled with generous but sinister doses of humor at the most unexpected places. The main characters belong to the area of Wasseypur in Dhanbad – A place marked with coal mafias and Butchers. The story is about the rivalry between the two factions of Wasseypur – the Qureshi clan of butchers and Khan Clan of the Pathans. There are numerous characters, nuances, themes, plots within the movie that make it a gripping film. The motley colorful platter of people is made delicious with the calibrated and methodical attempt of getting the pulse of the place. Language and character definition brings the realism of the film while the screenplay fictionalizes the characters and makes them unforgettable. Recurrent use of gun fights, profanities, immoral exuberance and influence of Bollywood on Indian villages like Wasseypur makes the movie interesting even with its slightly longer length. Movie making is extremely indulgent in Gangs of Wasseypur.
