New Delhi:
Gangs of Wasseypur, the first installment of Anurag Kashyap's two part crime thriller based on a real life story, wowed audiences despite a high dose of gore and violence. Now part two of the movie is out today, a departure from the traditional release day of Wednesday.
The first part opened on June 22 to critical and commercial acclaim.
Centered around power, politics and rivalry among three families, the film explores the theme of revenge through the socio-political dynamic in Wasseypur, Jharkhand, also known for coal and scrap trade mafia.
While Gangs of Wasseypur 1 spans the 1940s to the 1990s, Gangs Of Wasseypur 2 will take the story forward from the 1990s till 2009.
Gangs of Wasseypur 2 is said to be a fitting conclusion to the dramatic tale of vengeance.
Written by Zeishan Quadri, who hails from Wasseypur, the film is co-produced by Anurag Kashyap and Sunil Bohra.
Powerful performers like Manoj Bajpayee, Nawazuddin Siddiqui, Tigmanshu Dhulia, Richa Chadda and Huma Qureshi form the cast of the movie.
More than 90 per cent of the film has been shot in Uttar Pradesh to bring the right mood and feel to the story.
The complete film was screened at the 65th Cannes International Film Festival, where it played to packed houses, and at the just-concluded Osian's Cinefan film fest in the capital.
