Film Details

The reviews for this five-hour-and-20-minute Indian gangster epic have been sensational: “an extraordinary ride through Bollywood's spectacular, over-the-top filmmaking” (Hollywood Reporter); “a brilliant collage of genres, by turns pulverizing and poetic in its depiction of violence” (Variety); “[an] insane masterpiece” (Slant Magazine); “a rich and exuberant character-driven crime saga in an idiom you absolutely have not encountered before…A signal achievement in 21st-century cinema” (Salon.com ). Set in a North Indian mining town, The Gangs of Wasseypur follows three generations of mobsters, all of them caught up in a deadly blood feud, through 70 years of postwar Indian history. Shown today in two parts; Part 2 begins at 7:15 pm, after a 45-min. dinner break.
