Gangs
of
Wasseypur
has
a
capricious
first
half,
but
the
film
advances
vigorously
post
intermission.
Most
importantly,
the
excessive
run
time
makes
you
fidgety,
even
though
the
content
leaves
you
mesmerized
and
captivated
on
numerous
junctures.

It
may
not
be
for
the
faint-hearted
and
the
prissy.
Gangs
of
Wasseypur
is
a
heavyweight
knockout
punch.
You're
down
for
the

GOW
is
gripping
fare,
although
Anurag
the
storyteller
reveals
a
few
flaws.
His
story
could
have
been
tighter.
Bloody
brash
as
the

it
whets

Gangs
of
Wasseypur
is
relentless
in
its
ability
to
entertain,
and
that's
possible
purely
because
of
highly
accomplished
film-making.
A
new
template
for
the

Considering
the
amount
of
blood
spilled
in
this
film,
it
could've
just
been
called
‘Gangs

Sauce-e-pur'.
Hot

and

The
film
has
loads
of
action,
some
catchy
numbers
and
brilliant
acting
but
it
is
strictly
for
those
who
can
stomach
the
gory
violence
and
expletives.
