Gangs of Wasseypur – Part 2 Actors List (Cast)
Gangs of Wasseypur 2 is a 2012 Indian Hindi-language epic black comedy crime film co-written, produced and directed by Anurag Kashyap. It follows the prequel as the second of the two-part film, centered on the coal mafia of Dhanbad, Jharkhand and the underlying power struggles, and dynamics of politics and vengeance between three crime families. Part two features an ensemble cast with Nawazuddin Siddiqui, Manoj Bajpayee, Richa Chadda, Huma Qureshi, Reema Sen, Piyush Mishra, Pankaj Tripathi, Zeishan Quadri, Rajkumar Rao and Tigmanshu Dhulia in major roles. Its story spans from the 1990s to 2009.
Both parts were originally shot as a 319-minute single film and screened at the 2012 Cannes Directors' Fortnight but since no Indian theatre would volunteer to screen a five-plus hour movie, it was divided into two parts (160 mins and 159 mins respectively) for the Indian market.
The film received an Adults Only certification from the Indian Censor Board and is unusually explicit for Indian standards in both language and violence. The film's soundtrack is heavily influenced by traditional Indian folk songs, tending to be philosophical and liberal with its heavy use of sexual innuendos. Gangs of Wasseypur 2 was released on 8 August 2012 across India and had some paid previews on 7 August 2012.
Both parts of the film were acclaimed by the critics upon release. The combined film won the Best Audiography, Re-recordist's of the Final Mixed Track (Alok De, Sinoy Joseph and Shreejesh Nair) and Special Mention for acting (Nawazuddin Siddiqui) at the 60th National Film Awards. The film won four Filmfare Awards, including Best Film (Critics) and Best Actress (Critics), at the 58th Filmfare Awards. The individual film was declared flop at box-office, although the meagre combined budget of ₹18.5 crore allowed the two parts to be cumulatively commercially successful, with net domestic earnings of ₹50.81 crore. It is regarded by many as a modern cult film.
