Gangs Of Wasseypur II SYNOPSIS

Wasseypur is no more the town that was once consumed by the raging war between Sardar Khan and Ramadhir Singh. It has spawned a new generation of money squandering lobbyists, turning into foolhardy gangs overnight. With illegal profiteering through scrap trade auctions over the Internet, corrupt government officials, election rigging and hooliganism, the town got murkier. Everyone wanted alliance with the most powerful man of Wasseypur, Faizal Khan. His sole ambition however, is to annihilate Ramadhir Singh, the man with the grand scheme. Gangs Of Wasseypur 2 is a fitting conclusion to this story of vengeance, which by now, not just the family but also this town has come to inherit.

Gangs Of Wasseypur II REVIEWS

Anurag Kashyap's Second Treat!

By MovieTalkies.com, 08 August 2012 4 / 5

Gangs Of Wasseypur II Review In Brief
Following the assassination of Sardar Khan (Manoj Bajpayee), his son Faisal Khan (Nawazuddin Siddiqui) emerges as the new Dhanbad strongman, intent on carrying out an age old vendetta…


Gangs Of Wasseypur II Review Verdict
Like the prequel, the sequel too is gritty, edgy and yet with a dash of rustic humour…


Gangs Of Wasseypur II Review Story Plot
The film starts off where the prequel ended-with the assassination of Sardar Khan (Manoj Bajpayee). Sardar's eldest son Danish (Vineet Kumar) takes up the reins of the gang as younger brother Faisal (Nawazuddin) spends most of his time loafing with his drug addict friends. However, when Danish too is shot dead in broad daylight by their old foe Sultan (Pankaj Tripathi), Faisal is forced to step up to the task of taking control of the gang and avenging the deaths of his father and brother.

However, this time, Faisal has to not only deal with his foes Ramadhir Singh (Tigmanshu Dhulia) and Sultan, but also tackle other challenges like yuppie newcomer Shamshad (Raj Kumar Yadav), who is playing a devious game of double cross, Definite (Zeeshan Qadri), whose loyalties are dubious and his own volatile younger brother Perpendicular (Aditya Kumar), who seems more like a liability than an asset. How Faisal manages to deal with such challenges forms the rest of the story…


Gangs Of Wasseypur II Review Performances
If Gangs first part had Manoj Bajpayee stealing the show, the sequel has Nawazuddin Siddiqui as the reluctant heir Faisal who shall win your heart. As a shy, awkward teenager, who grows into a cold blooded avenger, Nawazuddin might not look physically intimidating, but still portrays an air of understated menace quite effectively. Another performer to watch out for is Richa Chadda in this film. As the matriarch, who encourages her sons to go out and seek vengeance, Chadda gives the most impressive performances as the angst-ridden Nagma. Other actors like Piyush Mishra, Tigmanshu Dhulia and Raj Kumar Yadav too do justice to their roles.


Gangs Of Wasseypur II Review Direction
Just like the prequel, the sequel is not for the faint-hearted. If you don't mind seeing people bludgeoned or stabbed to death with a lusty aggression, then by all means go for it. The violence is raw, edgy and gritty and yet again, director Kashyap gets cheeky with it when he inserts comic sequences in the middle of gory bloodshed. Watch out for the scene where Sultan is being stalked through a market by Faisal's gang or the scene when a singer belts out filmy numbers at a funeral and you will know what we mean. There are many more such scenes and the viewer will end up guffawing in shocked delight even as he cringes at the same time.


Gangs Of Wasseypur II Review Music
Though this reviewer personally enjoyed the music of the prequel more than the sequel, Sneha Khanwalkar yet again manages to come up with a winner with gems like chi cha leather, electric piya and the sinister kaala rey, which is worth lending an ear to.


Gangs Of Wasseypur II Review Final Word
Guns, gangsters and gamchas…need we say more? Go for it!

Gangs of Wasseypur II - Doesn't cover a great distance

By Reflections, MovieTalkies.com, 18 July 2012 2 / 5

Gangs of Wasseypur II is an extension of Anurag Kashyap's resolute crime series. The music album though neither comprises of any item number nor is there any retro number that could enhance the exquisiteness of a disco deck. Rather, this Sneha Khanwalkar composed album is very appropriately decorated with the kind of tracks that connect the movie with the core realm of affairs. The contribution made by lyricist Varun Grover has also tried to keep up with the theme of the movie.

The album starts with the track Chhi- Chha Leddar where vocals are given by a 12 year child artist Durga. The innocence and purity of a child's voice can be felt across the entire track. Use of funky instruments in the track sounds really fascinating albeit a bit strange. Varun's lyrics make things further interesting and attractive.

Next to arrive is Kaala Rey, a solo which is sung by Sneha herself. A slow track, its appeal is further accentuated by Varun's lyrics that haunt the listener, more so since everything in the track is conveyed as kaala.

Electric Piya follows next and the track begins with a harmonium that adds a desi Bihari folk tadka to the music album. Rasika D Rani's rendition is racy and catchy. Lyrics are interesting too and would certainly bring rural masses to the theater. Another version Electric Piya - Fused is a techno manifestation of the original.

Bahut Khoob, an experiment by Sneha, is more of a poetry being recited by a child without any pause. Though music conveys a qawali feel in the beginning, it turns out to be harsh and even a little weird as it proceeds. There is an '8 bit' version of the song that appears as well which is quite similar to the original but is unable to appeal to the audience. More so since the lyrics, yet again, are unclear and ambiguous.

Taar Bijli, a very apt folk song sung by Padamshree Sharda Sinha is really superb though and while the tune is slow here, the lyrics are humorous and catchy.

Aabroo, a qawwali by Piyush Mishra and Bhupesh Singh, seems to be a satire on the evils existing in the society. What works most are the lyrics which are simple and easy to understand.

Another addition to the album is, 'Perpendicular-Theme' which is a good fusion of various instruments and sounds brought to fore by the composer.

Next to appear is Moora, a slow number. This track begins with a beautiful amalgamation of piano and guitar while Sneha's vocals are soothing to ears. Moora - Morning is another variation to the song but doesn't appeal as much as the one that was heard before.

Tunya, another instrumental experiment by Sneha, begins with the kind of sound that reminds one of the kind that played along with ever-so-popular 'Super Mario' video game. This is further fused with harmonium quite remarkably, hence bringing a unique touch.

The album ends with KKL, a techno version of Keh Ke Loonga, the biggest chartbuster from Gangs of Wasseypur. This one begins with the sound of drums and is combined well with modern instruments, hence lending a true fusion folk appeal.

Overall though there is something still missing due to which Gangs of Wasseypur II settles down to be a barely average album. Yes, Sneha and Varun have tried to keep the songs quite different from the current musical trends in the industry. They have also provided audience with the true essence of the movie. However as a standalone album that may have a shelf life of its own, Gangs of Wasseypur II doesn't really have in it to cover a greater distance.
