The women too have an undying fire in the belly. We know their motivations, yet we are unsure if and when they will strike. The main players of Wasseypur, Faisal ( Nawazuddin Siddiqui) and Ramadhir Singh ( Tigmanshu Dhulia) keep you wondering about their next move. The smaller characters add flavor and ambiance to the brutal environment they are trying to thrive in. Gangs of Wasseypur II is as much about these seemingly insignificant characters as it is about its revenge-driven protagonists and the looming theme of the futility of violence. A fusion of sorts between grit of a village in Jharkhand and pulp-film style whackiness.
Gangs of Wasseypur II is a movie that engages you in its quirkiness because that quirkiness still has bearings with what is real. A movie that uses humor provided by a local brass band singer as a leitmotif to mark all significant events – morose or celebratory. Milliblog - "seems more aligned to Sneha’s Sound Trippin work than the earlier soundtrack, but is still wonderfully eclectic"ĭunkdaft - " Sneha Khanwalkar and the works, impresses yet again."Ī movie that uses a strong, scheming woman, who has very little to do in the rest of the film, as bookends - almost as if she was given the honor of holding the story together. I'm happy to just anticipate this one patiently for now. That besides, of course Anurag Kashyap can be well-depended on for a good film, with a very high chance of a great one. Not to mention Huma Qureshi's Mohsina to bring in that smile every once in a while. Just knowing we have Faizal Khan's character played by Nawazzuddin Siddiqui is reassuring enough. It is good to not know what to expect once in a while too. I have promised myself to not go our looking for the trailers either. They haven't left us with a major cliff-hanger, but there is a promise of a nice, impending closure to the saga of Wasseypur.
It's not an epic I am waiting for, it is more like one of those 13 episode thriller TV serials whose season finale I'm waiting for. “Dobaaraa” is jointly produced by Ektaa Kapoor’s Cult Movies, a new division under Balaji Telefilms, and Sunir Kheterpal and Gaurav Bose’s banner Athena.Come August 8th, the wait shall finally be over. It’s a tough time for people who have established and understood the market and make very big films. For me, the risk factor is the same here as it has been for every other film. “Throughout my career, times have always been scary. While trade experts believe the current trend signals the end of mid-size films having a golden theatrical run, Kashyap said times have “always been scary” for him. “Dobaaraa” will open on the big screen at a time when only lavishly mounted spectacle films such as “Pushpa: The Rise”, “RRR” and “KGF: Chapter 2” have emerged blockbusters across India. The mystery drama is set to be released on August 19. Headlined by Taapsee Pannu, “Dobaaraa” is the Hindi remake of the 2018 Spanish movie “Mirage”. The moment we go rooted, our films will work,” he added. Other filmmakers are attempting to make those films which they don’t usually, they’re trying to impress, changing genres. “’Gangubai Kathiawadi’, ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2’ worked because the two filmmakers made the kind of films they usually make. He said both “Gangubai Kathiawadi” and “Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2” - the two Bollywood blockbusters of the year helmed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali and Anees Bazmee, respectively - worked because the makers followed their conviction. When our mainstream filmmakers make their kind of films, they work,” Kashyap, known for acclaimed films such as “Gangs of Wasseypur”, “DevD”, and “Mukkabaaz”, said. Wherever the films are rooted, they work. “Here, people who can’t speak Hindi, who speak English, are making Hindi films. The filmmaker, who has produced Malayalam films such as “Paka” and “Moothon”, and Marathi movie “Vakratunda Mahakaaya”, said Hindi film industry now has directors who can’t even speak the language, which reflects in the movies they make. But our films are not rooted,” Kashyap told reporters here. When you see Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam films, they’re rooted in their culture, whether that’s mainstream or non-mainstream culture. “Because our Hindi films are not rooted, this is the simple answer. Kashyap said if films from the south are resonating across the country, it’s because the filmmakers have stayed true to the milieu.Īt the trailer launch of his upcoming directorial venture “Dobaaraa”, the director was asked why are Hindi films not doing well at the box office. One of the reasons the Hindi film industry is struggling to deliver hits is because the movies are no longer “rooted” in culture, said filmmaker Anurag Kashyap on Wednesday.
