.......probably may prove to be Anurag Kashyap’s biggest commercial success so far.
Movie is an attempt to create Mahabharat style epic revenge drama and it succeeds too up to an extent. Movie is set in the hinterland of Dhanbad and the two things which take the cake are the performance by the cast and the colorful language, infact the volume and variety of expletives is the maximum I’ve heard in a Hindi movie so far.
As far as the performance goes Manoj Bajpayee walks away with all the honors, his is a totally human and grey character, for that matter all the characters have shades of Grey, Manoj Bajpayee keeps you entertained through out; it will go down as one of his best performances.
Richa Chadda is the find of the movie, though she was good in “Oye Lucky Lucky Oye” too but this probably will be her career defining movie. Next in the line is Tigmanshu Dhulia, director of recent hits “Paan Singh Tomar” & “Saahib Biwi & Gangster”, he is a surprising debutant as the antagonist. Rest of the cast including Pankaj Tripathi, Nawazuddin Siddiqui, Piyush Mishra, Jaideep Ahlawat, Vipin Sharma are fabulous in their respective roles.
Nawazuddin Siddiqui didn’t have much to do in this part, it was sort of a establishing his character and will be coming in his own in the second part.
Music by Sneha Khanwalkar is another highlight, after “Love Sex aur Dhoka” & “Gangs of Wasseypur” she is soon becoming a brand name for quirky electric mix of music.
Anurag Kashyap has made a gritty and a gory movie, but has succeeded in maintaining the entertainment quotient through the quirky characterization and witty one liners. This movie is essentially not meant for faint hearted.
Though the length of the movie acts as the spoil sport, but I still am looking forward to the second part.
