Gangs of Wasseypur Cast:
  • Manoj Bajpai.
  • Richa Chadda.
  • Nawazuddin Siddiqui.
  • Tigmanshu Dhulia.
  • Jaideep Ahlawat.
  • Huma Qureshi.
  • Pankaj Tripathi.
  • Rajkumar Rao.


Anurag Kashyap’s ambitious gangster saga is a trippy outburst of vivid characters reeking of revenge, deep-seethed rivalries blended with an off-kilter soundtrack and clever dialogue. GoW is grand in terms of scale. Spanning over two generations, Kashyap has successfully managed to add depth to the story and soul to his characters.

 As if on ecstasy, once the film begins, it refuses to slow down. In terms of storytelling, GoW is surely entertaining but isn’t fearless. At times it crouches and hides behind unnecessary montages and sub-plots that ultimately leave you a tad bit underwhelmed. 

The film doesn’t disappoint but it also doesn’t satiate your hunger. The second part trailer has been attached at the end of the film. You come out of the theatre feeling anxious to know what’s going to transpire in the second part.

Now let's look at why Gangs of Wasseypur is interesting.

Gangs of Wasseypur is a masterpiece by Anurag Kashyap. There are several reasons why it is quite interesting.

Firstly, the movie is original. Unlike many other movies, which are either a remake or inspired by some other movies, GoW stands tall because of its originality.

Secondly, its screenplay is quite gripping. You won’t blink your eyes for the slightest of the second.
Also, the dialogues of the movie are simply amazing.

Another major reason is the acting. I would say the movie is in itself a School of Acting. Manoj Bajpai, Nawazuddin Siddiqui, Pankaj Tripathi, Piyush Mishra, Tigmanshu Dhulia, Richa Chadda, Rajkumar Rao, Vineet Kumar, the list goes on and on.

Last but definitely not the least, its music and background score. It's simply addictive.

Picture Credit: Wikipedia Special Ops marks the digital debut of the acclaimed film director Neeraj Pandey. Special Ops is an eight-part web series that is streamed on Hotstar in the month of March. It is created for Hotstar's label Hotstar Specials with Kay Kay Menon leading the cast. Neeraj Pandey has produced some of the best Bollywood thrillers of recent times (A Wednesday, Special 26, Baby being the flag bearers) and has written this series along with Deepak Kingrani and Benazir Ali. He is also the co-director along with Shivam Nair and has Pandey’s Friday Storytellers as the production house. Pandey has shown his fascination for subjects based on terrorism and thrillers which is quite evident from the films which he made. Because of such feats, one might expect the series to be cleverly crafted with great twists. One might also expect the series to dive deep into the topic of terrorism and its different aspects like political, religious, economic and the rest

Gumnaami Review

Gumnaami (2019) Cast: Prosenjit Chatterjee. Anirban Bhattarcharya. Tanusree Chakraborty. The film is based on the Mukherjee Commission Hearings. The film shows the three theories trying to explain the death or disappearance of Subhash Chandra Bose. The film starts with Subhash Chandra Bose at the Congress Conference. A courageous Subhash disagrees. A very well researched docu-drama movie that soars off wonderfully, flies smoothly but lands hastily with a jarring note. Based on the Mukherjee Commission investigation into the mystery of Netaji's death and the theories suggested around it, the movie shows the historical events in flashback as the two counsels in the Commission argue about them. The propounder of the Gumnaami theory is Chandrachur Dhar (Anirban Bhattacharya) who puts forward his arguments before the commission with evidence. Netaji is played superbly by Prosenjit, who blends into the physicality and majestic aspects of the Heroic Freedom fighter with ease and is also
