Gangs of Wasseypur-2 (movie through my lens)

First of all, it is almost impossible not to compare it with its prequel in terms of story, cinema, dialogues, characters, acting prowess, music, editing, background score but despite of it, I have tried to remain as objective as possible in viewing the cinema.

In this movie, I found several shades of cinema which were just magnificent. There was rustic love, vengeance, arrogance, ambition, lust, anger and it all were diverging while in the prequel it very much converged at one point and that was Sardar khan’s(Manoj Bajpai) vengeance while in this movie Faisal Khan’s (Nawazzuddin Siddiqui)calm, laid back, temperamental yet effective attitude holds the movie tightly with several other characters revolving around him. Evolution in any form seems inspiring and if narrated perfectly can win several accolades. When you compare Sardar khan’s Evolution as Sardar Khan in the prequel and Faisal khan taking his Father’s place you distinctly find a stark difference in the role prowess and how it is been executed by both the actors. And both have grown in it according to the script of the film but the only difference lies in the character portrayal which seems unconventional and more enticing.

There were some indigestible moments like sudden rise of Faisal khan after killing one of his father’s murderers. But still the movie stands out in its description, its narration, its rustic eccentricity and its character portrayal which seemed so real and less bollywood like. 

It’s very rare that faces of all characters in the film are non-hero types unlike found in bollywood. But the film scores very well in the portrayal of cast for ex. Perpendicular, tangent, definite and of course Faisal Khan.

The GOW II drives into multiple directions where sometimes the Core objective of Faisal khan gets blurred contradictory to Sardar khan in the prequel. Faisal khan gets hold of the screen audience whenever he seems around. As a story writer, there were many heroic portrayals apart from Faisal khan in the movie which is slight diverse cinema though realistic from the conventional films we have seen.

The rustic essence is superbly portrayed in the film, the yokel humor, the local streets shots and the realistic shots being taken form a strong base for the film. There are many scenes which are not elaborately explained but maybe it might have taken much longer time. Many new characters were flowed in this sequel which gives this movie an unlikely pace, vividness as well as curiosity among the audiences.

As also narrated in the film that Faisal khan’s wholesome focus on money minting and not so focus on power as shown in the prequel by his father sometimes makes the character confusing as to where the movie is heading towards.

The last scene where he guns down Ramadhir singh(tigmanshu dhulia) is clear delight as you can actually see faisal khan indulging himself in pleasure while shooting him tirelessly. Faisal khan’s expression showed as if he has achieved the best reward which his family longed for and as if he was the chosen one to fulfill their family duties.

The prequel revolved around one main issue and that was Sardar khan’s vengeance but in this sequel DEFINETLY there were many PERPENDICULARS as well as TANGENTS because of which the film stands out as a clear winner.
