The
sequel to Gangs of Wasseypur starts with the death of Sardar Khan (Manoj
Bajpai). We see him getting caught in a barrage of gunshots and finally
succumbing to it. The scene of his funeral is comical to a certain extent with
a singer with an unusual voice singing a famous Hindi number. Immediately after
this scene, we are taken back to the gruesome world of murder and mayhem that
Anurag Kashyap had shown us in Gangs of Wasseypur.
This
world is laden with men who mould themselves after Bollywood heroes and with
revenge in their hearts; they roam around the town of Wasseypur coolly creating
a realm of violence and crime. Amidst all the chaos and bloodshed, Anurag
Kashyap and his crew follow a curios path of violence, humor, romance and music
to bring out a revenge story that spans generations.
After
watching Gangs of Wasseypur, it might seem that the sequel is lacking in parts.
Despite the exuberance, you will feel the movie is nothing but a series of
butchering and killing with no particular story that links them together. There
are times when logic flies out of the window. The prequel took time to bring
out the characters and the storyline. However in the sequel, we get to see
nothing but a bunch of wannabe crime lords battling it out with guns, murdering
and creating mayhem in broad daylight. It seems the characters are just moving
according to the set of instructions given by the director.
One of
the funny moments in the movie comes up when we see a gangster attempting to tie
the string on his pajama while talking on two mobile phones. We have an edgy
assassin on one phone while a spy who has been asked to follow a target is on
the other phone. The scene is cleverly written and portrayed.
Chase
scenes have been the forte in Gangs of Wasseypur II. But they seem to have been
stretched too far. One felt that Anurag Kashyap was
trying to out-do himself after the fantastic chase scenes in Black Friday. He
was trying to go a notch higher. The starts in the four chase scenes in the movie
are brilliant and exciting, but the brilliance and the interest seem to fade
away after a few minutes.
However
like Gangs of Wasseypur I, Kashyap is brilliant in bringing out the characters
in the sequel. We are introduced to a group of charismatic personalities. Apart
from the growing enmity between Ramadhir Singh (Tigmanshu Dhulia) and Sardar
Khan’s hash-addicted successor Faisal (Nawazuddin Siddiqui), we come to know of
Perpendicular. He is Faisal’s kin who has the habit of wielding a blade in his mouth
and goes around with an I-don’t-give-a-damn attitude. Faisal is a hardcore
follower of Amitabh Bachchan while his half-brother Definite thinks Salman Khan
is God. Faisal’s wife Mohsina is a movie-addict who sings in a queer voice at
the slightest opportunity. Faisal is shown as a person who, despite his
unwillingness, was dragged into the world of crime. Together with Definite,
they go about carving a revenge for the murder of their family members.
The
movie is a goldmine of stellar performances. Richa Chadha as the sturdy
matriarch, Aditya Kumar (Perpendicular) and Huma Qureishi (Mohsina) are
brilliant and brings their characters alive. However, the one person that has
made a mark for himself with his brilliant performance is Nawazuddin Siddiqui,
who has essayed the role of the bold Faisal Khan.
If
there is any fatal mistake in the movie, it is the introduction of innumerous
subplots and characters. This trend continues till the end of the movie. This
one major flaw has stopped Gangs of Wasseypur II from rising above the genre of
a typical revenge flick.
