Bajpai goes above and beyond in his role, creating a character that not only delivers the brutal image of a mafia leader but also is capable of shifting between emotions and moods to really capture the essence of mafia lifestyle. Part 1 features an ensemble cast, featuring Manoj Bajpai in the title role of Sardar Khan. However, this film would simply not work without the the brilliant cast. Kashyap has not cut corner’s when it comes to portraying the mafia mentality on the big screen. There is a Tarantino feel about the film, especially part 1, where the great details enhance the films effectiveness. That rough and raw feel is seen most of all in the violence in the film, that truly captures the mafia mentality. The impact you get watching Kashyap’s film is mind boggling. He has blended violence with story and emotion. Apoorva Lakhia’s Shootout at Lokhandwala was one film that brought great violence onto the big screen but Kashyap has gone even further. Violence in Indian cinema can be seen in various movies. Sexuality is also an element that Kashyap pushes to the boundaries, bringing to the screen a more real picture of mafia activities. Part 1 creates the right emotional impact at the right time, really keeping the audiences pinned at all times. You get this unhinged feeling from the moment the story begins, something you don’t see very often – or at all for that matter – in Indian cinema. From the very beginning, the audience is pushed into the dark, tense world of Wasseypur. There is a “rough and raw” feel to the production. Gangs of Wasseypur breaks boundaries in many ways.

Kashyap has brought a very interesting style of filmmaking to Indian cinema. Part 1 of the film follows the early beginnings, how Shahid came to work for Ramadhir, how the blood-thirsty fued began and the rise of Shahid’s son, Sardar Khan (Manoj Bajpai), who vows to return his father’s honour and thus becomes the most feared man in the whole of Wasseypur. It all began when Shahid Khan (Jaideep Ahlawat) becomes a worker at Ramadhir Singh’s colliery after being exiled for impersonating a legendary thief to rob British trains. Gangs of Wasseypur focuses around a revenge battle between crime families. Then again it would be because Kashyap has gone above and beyond any Indian film to date, really pushing the boundaries with his indie filmmaking style, something Artistic Director Cameron Bailey has spoken very highly about. The film first premiered at the 65th Cannes Film Festival to rave reviews and high acclaim.
