The background narration by Piyush Mishra establishes the scene of action right from the pre-independence times to the times of Shahid Khan to the following decades. He uses the 2 women in his life as ‘child-producing’ machines and has a tough time handling them. Sardar has a weakness for women and he isn’t loyal to his first wife Najma (Richa Chadda) and has a second setup with Durga (Reema Sen) as well. The reason for his motive is the killing of his father, the brave Shahid Khan, by Ramadhir. The film is basically Sardar Khan’s (Manoj Bajpayee) quest for revenge against Ramadhir Singh (Tigmanshu Dhulia), a coal mine contractor in Dhanbad and also Sardar’s long standing inter-community rivalry with the Qureshi clan in Wasseypur. The Tamil connection doesn’t end here as prodigal composer G.V.Prakash has composed the BGM score for this movie. Kashyap has even credited prominent Tamil directors Bala, Ameer and Sasikumar (all from Madurai) in the title credits for inspiring him. ‘Gangs of Wasseypur’ was premiered at Cannes to good reviews and carries fairly good awareness back home as well. Anurag Kashyap revisits his roots with this movie, set in Bihar.
