Rather than waiting on the success of the first part and starting freshly with a pornstar or playmate, Anurag Kashyap has simply stuck to the basics of filmmaking by making it look like one film divided into 2 parts (which it is) rather than 2 films trying hard to resemble a whole. Simply put, GoW 2 is a fitting end to an ambitious series, and is one of the best sequels in an industry that believes that a ‘2’ or ‘again’ is the true definition of one. Here, he is ending a saga that will most likely bear his name more than any other of his work over the years.
Dissing him now would be like bringing down Virat Kohli because he still hurls abuses on the field. Hence, at a time like this, Gangs of Wasseypur 2, the second part of one of the most intriguing fact-based gang war stories in the country, brings us all back to square one: this is the same inspired filmmaker that brought us the legendary Black Friday, and definitely the same guy behind the classic Satya. This awkwardness has reached a level that sees only his most ardent fans criticizing him for his over-indulgence just to prove that their life isn’t all Kashyap and darkness.
The Part 2 is a fitting conclusion to this story of vengeance, which by now, not just the family but also this town has come to inherit. Similarly GOW has broken the stereotype and entered the new Gangster saga. The Godfather trilogy criticizes the content and structure of typical Hollywood films. Gangs of Wasseypur (GOW) is a mafia saga that finds a strong connection with Godfather. The Godfather is a multi-generational crime saga based in the parlance of organized crime, where a 'godfather' or 'don' stands for the head of a Mafia family.
