One of the best Direction and Acting so far
Gangs of Wasseypur
stands firmly on the grounds of direction, acting, screenplay,
story-line, cinematography & music. Manoj Pandey has delivered an
outstanding performance. The movie has to be rated "A" because of a lot
of abuses (which implies, its not a family flick). But the essence of it
is demanding and commendable. Everyone has done a splendid job. This
one is not loose even for a minute. The most important aspect of its
appreciation is its star-cast. A lot of new faces and still it doesn't
disappoint. You can just imagine the crew on board when actors like
Piyush Mishra & Yashpal Sharma are totally wasted. An entertaining
cinema worth watching. There is no doubt that Anurag Kashyap is
Bollywood's Quentin Tarantino. A must watch.
