Gangs of Wasseypur
Streaming video - 2013
An ambitious and extraordinary blood-and-bullets fueled crime saga that charts seventy years in the lives – and spectacular deaths – of two mafia-like families fighting for control of the coal-mining town of Wasseypur, India. Inspired by the real-life exploits of local gangs and beginning with the bandit-like career of Shahid Khan in the 1940s, the film follows the ruthless rise of his son Sardar and his offspring, the surreally-named Danish, Perpendicular and Definitive Khans and their numerous wives and girlfriends. Nominated for the C.I.C.A.E. Award at **Cannes Film Festival**. Official Selection at the **Sundance Film Festival**. *"One of the most ambitious gangster films ever made, and quite possibly one of the best." - D...anny Bowes, **RogerEbert.com***
