Desi Cartman Posted June 25, 2012 Posted June 25, 2012 Vicky Donor Alright.. that song pani da rang was nice. Btw, some of you really overhyped Yami Gautam With all that Punjabi, I wonder how many understood all those dialogues :dontknow: who is Yami Gautam ? BTW i liked the movie but its hard to believe that India mein sperm shortage hai .. I am sure there are 1000s of men who will happily sell their for $1 a litre :cantstop:

rkt.india Posted June 26, 2012 Posted June 26, 2012 Gangs of Wasseypur : Part-time Avenger watch 1 man immediately. it's awesome. read this review and you will know despite brilliant acting why this is not actually awesome. You are liking because of the tirades, sex, and good performances but story does not go anywhere. http://www.thehindu.com/arts/cinema/article3562918.ece Good filmmaking doesnÃÕ always translate to good storytelling. While every frame here is so passionately put together (cinematography by Rajeev Ravi and edited by Shweta Venkat Mathew), supremely performed with brilliantly conceived moments of quirk, the whole just doesnÃÕ come together as a cohesive story. Gangs Of Wasseypur is a trip, no doubt. A trip to nowhere, one most enjoyed if you are an Anurag Kashyap fan. You buy a ticket to Wasseypur, you meet colourful, gun-toting, expletive-spewing, sex maniacs on the way and share a couple of laughs, amused by their choice of language till the buffoonery gets repetitive. After a long, bumpy ride through every other busy bylane close to where you boarded from, the driver leaves you stranded on a highway with a note: ůext bus to Wasseypur in three months. You paid to watch revenge. What you get is a guy doing everything else except that. Unfortunately, most of us still consume films as stories and as far as stories go, Wasseypur Part 1 is a non-starter, a deceitful film that delivers none of the promise of that revenge. All talk, no walk. ItÃÔ all backdrop, backdrop, backdrop spelt out all through and even that backdrop of coal mining is not convincing, as the film pretends to be a documentary on the subject with archival footage that does nothing to the narrative except prolong it with endless voiceover. Voiceover here isnÃÕ used to help you settle in, itÃÔ the thread and glue that holds the loosely arranged pieces together, a character who returns to keep us in the loop, as bursts of superimposed text to illustrate timelines and character names are slapped on the screen, every few minutes. Show, tell and text on top! While the two-part Kill Bill sets up the context and leaves two out of the five people in the list dead, assuring you are halfway home, Gangs of Wasseypur Part 1 cancels out everything that happens with its climactic moment. So we just watched a 160 minute long prologue? If you want us to connect or understand the avengerÃÔ motivation, he must have some quality that makes us root for him or at least some injustice meted out to him. But his father was a scheming scoundrel too. Sardar Khan has no redeeming quality except that it is portrayed by a fantastic Manoj Bajpayee. The protagonistÃÔ full time occupation is being a sex maniac, revenge is a part time thing he would do, like, over a few decades when heÃÔ not getting his women pregnant. His misadventures with the two women in the film make for delightful vignettes but thereÃÔ little else powering this film except the entry of the endearingly filmi Faisal Khan (Nawazuddin) towards the end. Nawazuddin Siddiqui will make you book your tickets for the next part. Richa ChaddhaÃÔ Nagma is guaranteed to win her fans, Reema Sen looks every bit the seductress and Huma QureshiÃÔ charm and chemistry with Nawazuddin sparkles. Piyush Mishra makes for a wicked cheating Consigliori, Jaideep Alhawat is dispensed off early on as the man whose death triggers off this epic, Jameel Khan amuses us playing the foil to Bajpayee, while Pankaj Tripathi makes for a menacing baddie we want to see more of. Like the villain of the piece Ramadhir Singh (Tigmanshu Dhulia lends this character so much charisma and intensity) demonstrates, coal becomes heavier when soaked in water, but thereÃÔ only so much you can adulterate it with. Here, coal is substituted with coolth. We are so cool that in our town, we call the women, Womaniya (Hats off to music director Sneha Khanwalkar for the soundtrack that provides some respite). We are so cool that we use gorgeous-looking typeface guaranteed to make you drool even if it wears a vibe different from the rustic environs of the film. We are so cool that we would make the opening credits of ìyonki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi look like a joke. We are so cool we have characters called Definite, Perpendicular and Tangent in Part 2 of Gangs of Wasseypur because honestly, we got tired of keeping count of the Khans and Qureshis in the film! All that coolth and pop realism may do well with the die hard Kashyap cult but for the rest of us who paid to watch a bloody saga of revenge, it seems like a long wait at the circus. Gangs Of Wasseypur Genre: Gangster Director: Anurag Kashyap Cast: Manoj Bajpayee, Nawazuddin Siddiqui, Richa Chaddha, Reema Sen, Huma Qureshi, Jameel Khan, Tigmanshu Dhulia, Pankaj Tripathi, Jaideep Alhawat Storyline: A man must avenge the death of his father, but he whiles away his time making babies. Bottomline: Epic fail. Probably works a lot better when seen back to back.
zombiePotato Posted June 26, 2012 Posted June 26, 2012 "Gangs of Wasseypur" FTW. epic rawness! You will either love it or hate it. 4/5 for me. Cant wait for the sequel.
