The actor who played "definite" pitched the story to kashyap, he grew up in that world.

I find you guys genuine unlike other foreigners who react to trailers just for views

One thing which I can definitely say subtitles takes away the feel of the movie...

Watch *Anurag Kashyap's* *"Black Friday"* and *"No Smoking"* Btw the intro was hilarious 😂

Hollywood - The Godfather Bollywood - Gangs Of Wasseypur

I've never seen any non Indian reviewer pronouncing the names almost perfectly. You guys also remember all the names and their relationship with eachother. This is how you get prepared before giving your review. Also your opinions are always on point. Subscribed 😊

For international cinema lovers : This is a good movie For many people in Bihar : This is life bro

I get Jimmy's point about not being able to root for any character at any point... but perhaps it's better that you are not lead to root for a rotten character, which in a gangster world, everyone is. I watched Haider sometime back and realized that I was rooting for Haider just because the story was told from him PoV. If it was told from one of the defense personnel PoV, the same story would have created a very different reaction. I believe it's easier to tell a story where everyone takes side of the protagonist, but to leave the audience balanced needs more craft.

Perhaps I was more invested in the characters as the spoken language was familiar to me and I could easily place what is what. Subtitles often misrepresent commonly used phrases and slangs.

Buddy needs to chew the blade to be the ultimate Edgelord 😎 Jk... Don't do that 😂

I am from Asansol from where Durga's character was from. Wasseypur and Dhanbad is around a 2 hour drive away. The story real. Faisal Khan is actually serving his prison sentence at Hazaribagh Jail.

I am feeling very sad for you guys that you don't know hindi. If you knew, this movie would be 1000X more impactfull. The dialogues are soul of the movie.

You guys definitely deserve more subs.. with the quality of content you have created.. hats off !!!

Fantastic review, as usual! I've seen lots of reviews of Gangs of Wasseypur, and this one is definitely one of the top two or three.

I am awestruck. It is not that I am illiterate; rather, I am a man of some education. I have watched hundreds of movies, if not thousands. Yet, one thing baffles and amuses me so much. What equips you people to interpret and talk about various aspects of Indian movies in such a great and critically efficient way as a native Indian like me can only dream about.

I think them being "unfocused " was a key factor. That is why it took 3 generations to beat Ramadheer and in the end the Wassepur went to the one with the definite focus, pun intended.

Ha I was a Virgin when I requested this. AND THIS IS LEGIT TRUE.

Hi Jimmy and Buddy ...since you guys mentioned the songs and music of this movie I wanted to add that the rustic wedding song 'taar bijli se patle hamare piya' literally means why is my lover (piya) thinner than an electric (bijli) wire (taar), has deeper connotations in context to the state of Bihar which is the 'piya' or lover and that it has shrunk under poverty and the political/economic mismanagement and corruption. Another dig could be at the 'sasural-walas' or the groom side which in this case Mrs Indira Gandhi and the Congress party at the power centre in Delhi in the 70s who were making their menfolk weak. The song also calls out at our forefathers like Aara Chapra ke babu / Rajender Prasad( the first president of India , involved in the freedom movement , Loknayak / Jayaprakash Narayan who had opposed Indira Gandhi in the 70s and Bapu/Mahatma Gandhi among others, wailing out her angst and telling them her plight. The meaning of this song was not clear to me at first as I thought its a typical wedding fun song.... later I researched and found out. Just FYI a wedding song is a typical traditional song which is sung by the womenfolk in the regional dialect calling out the grooms side and abusing them for fun...weird huh ! , but the sweet voice of the singer softens the blow. Needless to say great review as expected..... will you be doing Indian web series in future? If so please review Delhi Crime Netflix.

I think the movie might have been a bit overwhelming for you guys since the story is deeply embedded into the Indian political economy and society, or more accurately, a specific problematic region of the country. The strength or weakness of the movie is that it diligently paid attention to almost all factors and phenomena of a highly complicated society, and hence so many subplots and characters. The charm of the movie is that if you watch multiple times, you discover new things and understand nuances that were missed earlier. I personally believe this is one of the films in Indian cinema that serve as a text for understanding Indian society.

About to start video. Making a prediction of Jimmy's rating. 8/10 its more like 8.2 but he doesnt do that 😀

Great review.. loved the intro, it was hilarious!

You should watch "Aamis"......and if you watch the trailer first, then you will have no idea what you can get from that movie......it's totally different concept.....

Loved the review. It's one of my favourite films. My other favourite Angamaly Diaries was probably loosely inspired by this. I died laughing during the Durga washing clothes scene. At the same time the movie is brutal and realistic at times. Some cities in India are exactly as depicted. I don't think you can feel that vibe. I'm assuming Austria is much better off. Over there u may not have extremely corrupt politicians, cops, gangs and rackets intertwined in a giant web. Many people join these 'gangs' for the basic necessity of survival (ironic though 😂) Not just revenge as shown here. I agree with the score. I give it 9/10.

Jimmy I guess some of the film was also lost in translation in English.

Although not similar, but you can watch Srijit Mukherjee's bengali gangster film "Zulfiquer" to get a view of modern Indian gangster world. What is interesting about it, is that, it is a modern adaptation of Shakespeare's "Julius Caesar" in context of gangster world.

Standing ovation just for that intro 👏👏 This Epic saga was difficult to understand even for me a hindi audience but at one point you just enjoy it. If you ask me to sum up the plot I cannot, its like GoT in that way. Its Something else altogether, good or bad depends on the person watching

Loved the review, Jimmy! ❤️ I agree with some of the other comments here that you would have liked the movie even better if you could understand the language and didn't have to rely on subtitles. As an Indian, all those characters, dialogues and situations seemed very realistically portrayed to me. For me, it is the second best gangster movie, after Godfather. But I really liked how you covered all aspects of the movie. Like buddy said, the score of the movie is fantastic and am still listening to it years after the album first came out. If you want to take a little break after this 5+hour long intense marathon, may I suggest "Khosla ka Ghosla"? It is a light, but clever, comedy with amazing performances from Anupam Kher, Vinay Pathak and Ranvir Shorey. To me, it is one of the better comedy movies from India from the last decade or so. Would love to know what you think of it! 🙏 Keep up the great work, and am very glad to be a subscriber of your channel. May you guys grow leaps and bounds in the future 😊

Bruh your channel growing.Kudos

Well, your point of not focusing on any one or two characters is right. But, the thing is. It's not the story of any character, it's the story of WASSEYPUR (the place, where it all happens). And, i don't know, if you've seen or not, but I request you to see ''পথের পাঁচালি'' (Pather Panchali) 1955. It's the greatest Indian movie of all time. And if you want to complete the trilogy, the remaining movies are: Aparajito (1956) The World Of Apu (1959)

Gangs of Wasseypur's writer Zeishan Quadri directed 'Merathiya Gangsters'. It's a pretty good movie. Gangs of Wasseypur is a kind of movie that I re-watch in late december every year. I don't know why.😅

Gangs of Wasseypur is also a tribute to the Bollywood.

The most of the part of this movie was shooted in my town....in Uttar Pradesh

Emotions are universal, but the film is very regional. Wasseypur setting is such a character in the movie, the people, their behaviour, their characteristics,the dialogues ,the humour. It will be difficult for others to grasp it

Gangs of Wasseypur draws inspiration from Satya. Director of Gangs of Wasseypur had worked with Ram Gopal Varma as an assistant for "Satya". An absolute raw portrayal of gangsters and mafia.

Man I love y'all so much. That intro was gold lmaooo

This is not a movie, it's a change of Indian film industry. Still slightly ahead of its time. All characters are played their part. Dialouges, storytelling,, acting, songs everything was almost up to the mark. Wonderful movie experience. Thanks both of Jimmy and buddy for review about it.

Congrats on your 20K. You are may be the first to view GOW in its singularity. I like this movie alot.. It was very different and unique for its time. Although violence and emotions are universal... The dialect and local references hit the right note with local viewers and brought critical acclaim. Liked your honest review but the length never bothered me because the premise of the movie is intense and relatable to the society. I also liked the opening of your video with Buddymaister portraying different era trends. Couple of suggestion from my end: 1. Both of you have a very calm body language and minimal facial expression so at times it is like hearing a podcast rather than watching a video. Kindly include expressions in the video... This can be done by including character/screenshot photo whenever you are talking about it/them (you did include it in this video... But it can increased... Although not too much... Balancing is in your hands 😊). It may not necessarily be a full screen... Maybe something to place in the centre bottom. A green screen may help. 2. Also you may deliver a dialogue from the movie (which you liked) in the respective language in your video... That will Excite the viewers. Kindly watch "Anatomy of an Actor" by "Cinema beyond Entertainment". You will like it. He has also made a video on violence portrayal in GOW.

I love when you guys disagree on certain points. Really cool to see both views.

I think you should make reaction content related to many videos,, to start with Kashyap's film collection..

Hallo Hr. Cage haben sich schon den Film Supramaniapuram angesehen? Der Regisseur von Gangs of Wassypur hat erzählt, daß er sich Supramaniapuram inspiriert hat den Film zu machen☺.?

Beste Resezion habe ich an Gangs of Wasseypur gesehen. Viel Erfolg Leute

Enjoyed your review....I do have to admit admiration for anyone who could follow this movie only through subtitles...

Genuine review guys!

There is no comparison between wasseypur and Hollywood gangster epics. Wasseypur is an absolute standout.

You're intros hilarious!!!!

"Maybe he has just aged very well" - Buddymeister, 2020.

Excellent review as always 👍👍👍

Hey jimmy great review like always... And I recommend to watch the new,recent netfilx india film:CARGO...It's sci-fi but original concept. Want to hear your opinion. Please!

Can we have a review of October by Shootjit Sarcar? I am really interested what you make of this movie. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE.🙏

I hope you don't get any copyright issues on this video

I saw this movie last week and I loved it. It is the kind of movie that is necessary to watch once in your life. Great review btw

thanx [awesome intro]

You have done the great review for those who really appreciates arts and understands it, do review for DEV D from the same director, it's still underrated movies in India as to understand the concept of this movies one need an intelligent mind this movies is way ahead of time, be its music or the hidden concept in the movie, not for the average mind its one of the great movie.

the mere clips of the end gave me goosebumps

Also I would advice you to not change your way , this is what makes u people different from others

Anurag Kashyap has been behind some of the finest Hindi movies both as director and producer. 'Udaan' is one such marvel, one of the finest movie ever produced by Kashyap and directed by Vikramaditya Motwane. Trailer link : kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rat6q8hjx6uRk3k.html

You guys are amazing!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

I liked GOW but to me Vadachennai was a better gangster film. It had a much more sharper plot but still had the feel of an epic. You guys should do a GOW vs. Godfather vs. Vadachennai analysis

i think for most indians who are mostly young i think, there fav songs are Teri Keh Ke Lunga, and Jiya Tu Bihar Ke Lala, if u dont understand its just our pop culture thing

Good video. I would like to point out that why you didn't connect with the characters and the Indian audience actually did is because of the historical bg of the film cuz we have in some way or the other experienced those moments in history ourselves. Ty

Hey why don't you guys review web series, to start with I suggest you to see either "ASUR" available on voot or telegram or else you could react to"The forgotten army" available on Amazon prime or telegram.

Hey, Jimmy, du bist einer der besten Filmkritiker. Ich möchte dich hier in Indien sehen.

I have been following your channel for a year. But this is my first comment. I have to tell you that I am very sceptical about this new trend of foreigners reacting( or should I say overreacting) to Indian content. I find those reaction channels to be prying on the Indian population who still seek western validation. So when a friend shared your review with me in Whatsapp, i berated him. But he told me to watch it and I did. I found that your reviews are genuine and it is interesting not bcoz it is coming from a person with a white skin but due to the difference in perspective that you bring. I do have to appreciate you for not going the trailer reaction route( What is there to react in a trailer, i really don't know), even though that is the easiest thing to do to raise the sub count. I hope more ppl find your channel. Kepp Going Forward. PS: Collab with good Indian Critics

The next Indian movie I suggest to you is Aakali Raajyam lead role by Kamal Hassan.

The way he smokes 😂

With Buddymaster here 📍

Watch the movie bombay velvet which was Also directed by anurag kashyap

Intro was hilarious.

well its godfather of india...so you have to expect some spice (masala) will be in movie...funny scenes...whereas godfather was classic one with a serious tone.

Godfather focuses on Generals...gangs of wasseypur focuses on pawns..

For me it is the best Indian movie made in this genre..

GoW is an exhaustive film. A flawed but a landmark film. However, I’m not sure I will watch it again. I will be interested in a web series based on this film.

sorry to say but the review seems a bit lacklustre.expected a bit more for 20k celebration. anyway all the best.

watch vedam a national award winner

You are great!

One word... It has everything.. Exactly

One thing I would like to say is what is shown in movie is 100% true about India. Though in India women does not have freedom like euro women's as shown in movie are respected and are not brought in fight ever if anyone does that it is like foul and he has to submit Also Indian husbands can be killers but all fear with their wives as marriage is something different in India that's why we have lowest divorce rate. Also the violence , changing gun type , business type are incredibly real at those backward places of India of Bihar and jharkhand where I come from. Also the use of politics is accurate Thnx but it is changing

Hi Jimmy❤️ next review Telugu movie mathu vadalara

Man this channel needs more subs, you're one of the only few reviewers on the Internet I trust...

Hilarious intro....deserved by the 5 hour epic!! You need to watch his masterpieces...Black Friday, Gulaal, No Smoking

You are the best Jimmy 😀

You add Very Good Entertainment In Your Video 😃🇮🇳❤️

For your kind information, characters are not over exaggerated , bcoz Around 90% of the movie based on true incident in the city of dhanbad & Wasseypur And,I 'm the prfect person to tell the fact as I witnessed most of the incident by my eyes or through newspapers As I m from Dhanbad By the way,💝💝 from dhanabad, your opinions are really unbaised & expressions seems preety real 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

Dude, ur buddy was a good actor 😍😍

Please watch these: * Vanaja (KZfaq) * Manu (Netflix)

the best movie reviews, i find here

When I first watched the movie, I slept in first few minutes twice. Next attempt, I managed to watch the whole 2 parts. I remember I was intrigued but I am not sure now if I loved it then. I forgot the movie now. May be, I am starting to dislike Anurag's movies due to his apparent hypocricy on social media. But yes, there was a time...I watched all of his movies and used to wait for his next movie. Hmm..but not anymore, after I realized that his movies aren't really necessary to watch most of the times.

Foreigners might not be able to enjoy it to its fullest because of the language used. The language and the dialogues are as important as the characters in my opinion. There are no translations for some of the phrases like, "ek aad bakra dab gaya, to paaya hum khaayenge", or "kaun sanima dekhne gaye the... Beta tumse na ho paayi, lakchhan bilkul theek nahi hai", "kaa bawaaseer bana diyo be, phatt ke phlower ho gaya hai"

Its one of the greatest movies of Indian cinema

Finally... Loved it...

The whole credit of the film goes to the writer (definite), but ppl praise anurag kashyap

Please Review The White Ribbon(2009)

Did you watched Manoj bhajpai" Satya "?

Now watch kammatipadam

Why don't you watch 2020 released Bollywood movie Tanhaji: the unsung warrior......it is the best 3D action movie made in India......it is not extraordinary, but you will love it!

please watch and review vikram's Pithamagan tamil movie

Now watch indian psycho thriller movie ' 404 : error not found'

I think the subtitle you chose is not right. Because I saw a glimpse in this video, it was written "Fuck my sister". However, the word will be "Sisterfucker", which is a cuss word in hindi as "Behenchod". You got wrong translator😜😜😜

Watch part 2

👏🏼
