Anurag Kashyap's much awaited zara hatke film 'Gangs of Wasseypur' make ruffle many feathers. it is about coal mining mafia set in a fictitous Bihari town where the characters resemble those who can be easily identified with the people really involved in the often obnoxious coal-mining.
Anurag Kashyap is one of the most notable zara hatke film directors of India today, who won many awards and accolades for his off beat films like Dev D, Shaitan, No Smoking, Black Friday and The Girl In Yellow Boots.
But Gangs of Wasseypur is different from what he has done till now. Its scale is very large, its production is expensive and it talks about something which is immensely challenging and hitherto not been tackled in any movie in India.
The story is set at the end of colonial India, Shahid Khan loots the British trains, impersonating the legendary Sultana Daku. Now outcast, Shahid becomes a worker at Ramadhir Singh’s colliery, only to spur a revenge battle that passes on to generations. At the turn of the decade, Shahid’s son, the philandering Sardar Khan vows to get his father’s honor back, becoming the most feared man of Wasseypur. Staying true to its real life influences, the film explores this revenge saga through the socio-political dynamic in erstwhile Bihar (North India), in the coal and scrap trade mafia of Wasseypur.
