Gangs of Wasseypur (region-A 2 blu-ray set)

GANGS OF WASSEYPUR mirrors the tumultuous and explosive growth of modern India with ferocious cinematic intensity. As with Al Pacino's Michael Corleone in THE GODFATHER, it's the least likely of Sardar's children - the perpetually stoned Faizal (Nawazuddin Siddiqui)- who rises to the top ranks of the Khan crime family, vowing brutal revenge on their longtime nemesis, the wily and seemingly unstoppable Ramadhir Singh (Tigmanshu Dhulia). Composer Sneha Khanwalkar's stunning soundtrack ranks with legends like R.D. Burman, but don't expect Bollywood-style dance numbers: this is a movie that up-ends every expectation of what great Indian cinema should look (and sound) like. "Gangs of Wasseypur, by the extraordinary filmmaker Anurag Kashyap, is a bold, original, fascinating crime saga. A wild, dangerous epic." - Martin Scorsese
