"Abe ye WASSEYPUR hai, yaha kabootar bhi ek pankh se udta hai aur dusre se apni ijjat bachata hai"
Year 2012 has been very astonishing for Bollywood. Bollywood has delivered some awesome flicks ranging from Paan Singh Tomar, Vicky Donor, Chhodo Kal ki baatien,Barfi, I am 24, Life ki to lag gayi, OMG Oh My God, English Vinglish, Aiyya and many other movies. There will be movies like Love Shuv Te Chikan Khurana in this year only. So over all this year had been very very excited for bollywood. If you see the above list, you can notify that most of them are not having many superstars and all. but stories and screenplay is great for them.
Apart from All these movies, Movies that made statement this year are "Gangs of Wasseypur" and "Gangs of Wasseypur 2". If you want to learn how to make a movie, This two movies will be best examples of that. When we talk about mafia movies, first movies always comes to our mind is God Father series or Scarface. but I think this is movies which are changing this field. These movies are as good as God Father.
This movie is based on Wasseypur and Dhanbad of India. Where story started in year of 1940 when working of coal blocks are on and it makes issues between Ramadhir Singh and Shahid Khan. and apperantly Shahid Khan's son Sardar khan decides to take revenge. After Ramadhir kill Sardar Khan. his son Faizal try to get revenge.
Today We talk about 5 different aspect of this movie,where they have done awesome job.
Dialogues and Songs
"Goli nahi marenge use, Uski kahe ke lenge" , " Itna goli maarenge ki tumhara driver khali khokhe bech ke ameer ho jayega"
These are just examples of what treat you will be have when you watch movie. There are different ways to explain thing and in this movie they have choosen extereme levels for same. The language is core of that state. Few years ago, when someone speak in that type of bihari, it looks outdated. but this movie had made movie that language "in-thing". Local language and way actors communicate in movie are very profound and deeply developed. For Example, There is one song in which they have efficiently take so many english word and attach them directly or use them like they are bihari words only.
Jo bhi wrongwa hai usey,
Set Rightwa karoji,
Naahin Loojiye ji hope,
Thoda fightwa Karoji.....
Now here they have superbly used english words without any fuss. and even u don't feel that this song is having english words.
Screen play and Back Ground
Movies like these, always require special back ground and places where they are shooting, because this movie represents some places like bihar, Jharkhand. and it must show locality of that level. And Anurag Kashyap had done masterclass work in this part.
When you see movie, you can see buildings, vehicles which represent those times, those era and also locality. As home of Sardar Khan is same in old movie but it's architecture or structure perfectly belongs to bihar look.
Screen play has also been one of major factors of successful movie. Actors like Manoj Bajpayee, Tigmanshu Dhuliya, Nawazudin Sidiquie, Huma Querishi and Piyush Mishra are part of film and As a director Anurag Kashyap had bring best from all of them.
Time Line
GoW starts in era of 1940 and last scene of movie is of 2009. Now when you want to show almost 70 years, It is very difficult to show changes on screen. It's not about showing a particular year on screen and say it's changed. It takes lot more then that. and That is best part of this movie.
Way years are changed in movie or story moves forward, it is having changes in related story, in first part people are trying to use landline phone with very difficulty and in second part when it belongs to era of 90s and early 2000s it shows people using pager. and it last era they are showing people using mobile in movies.
Same thing is applied with vehicle they are using, way back in starting, Ramadhir singh is using FIAT AMBASSADOR and Sardar khan is using Jeep. In future when things got chaged. cars and bikes and all are also changed. One of great example of this is when in second part we can see "Definate" is driving on bike and other guy was chasing him on scooter. that's the scene to watch to check indian roads and vehicles running on it.
Names and Situation
Names of actors in this movie are also make it so much special. Ranging from "Sultan Qureshi" to "Sardar Khan" and also have strange names like "Definate" and "Perpendicular" and "Tangent".
As movie is not about Killing people, but survival of one, it shows people are desprate to kill other. When they do that, it must be shown by their name and their look, and Anurag Kahsyap had done great job in it.
Tribute to Bollywood.
"Tumhe pata hai ham pichle 55 saalo se ham wassepur pe kyo raj karte hai? kyo ki ham sanima nahi dekhte. hamare vakt me Rajesh Khanna tha, fir Amitabh Bachan aya.. aur aaj kal ye konsa? ha salman khan hai. magar ye sab dekh k insan batiya jata hai"
This is Ramadhir Singh says when he is talking to someone about change between 1940 and 2004. We all know that bollywood has completed 100 years. and I think this movie had given Tribute to them in real superb way. For every occasion, it can be marriage, birth or funeral. there is singer who is sings bollywood songs in desi way.
To describe years are changing, They have used great ways to change Posters of movie. They are showing "Maine Pyar Kiya" poster and after 5-10 mins when time era is move forward it's "Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge" Poster. Also Faizal Khan's wife is singing songs for him on phone when he is in jail of DDLJ.
There are many more instances like, "Perpendicular" is giving Jadu ki Jhappi to random guy after watching Munnabhai M.B.B.S. or Faizal Khan is having hairstyle and looks like Amitabh Bachhan after watching his films. and when Faizal delivers dialouge"sala me to amitabh me se shashi kapur ban gaya".
This movie is path breaking in many many ways explaining the way of Indian behaviour and mentality at same time stick to it's main story with so many subplots and things.
HATS OFF TO ANURAG KASHYAP and his team to deliver something that will be never ever seen on screen again.

Nicely written. Better than film critics.
ReplyDeleteThese days, the film critics only concentrate on few aspects of the film are more interested in giving stars or pronouncing it hit or flop. But this review presents a good account of film. Enjoyed reading it.
