Description
Summary:	An ambitious and extraordinary blood-and-bullets fueled crime saga that charts seventy years in the lives {u2013} and spectacular deaths {u2013} 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." - Danny Bowes, RogerEbert.com**
