He helped Bhiku Mhatre say his dialogues; but a fall out between them took almost a decade or more to fill up. Well that's Anurag Khasyap and Manoj Bajpai for you. Anurag wrote dialogues for Manoj staring Satya, Kaun and Shool. A small miscommunication came between the close friendship the two had formed while working on the films together. It is said that when Anurag was casting for his first film he approached Manoj's secretary to ask for the actor's fees. Manoj took offense to that as he thought that Anurag being a close friend should have approached him directly, instead of going through his secretary.
Now more than decade later the star and the maker are back together to create the most aspirational project ever under taken by the two. It is a five and a half hour long film, that has been divided into two parts. And now the film is ready for the audience to see and appreciate, and now we have it as 'Gangs of Wasseypur'.
The film is the story of vengeance, greed, power and violence is based in the mining towns of India, mainly Wasseypur and Dhanbad. The first part of the five and half hour long gangster epic is ready to be released in India soon. The film is going to be releasing on 22nd June, 2012.
The entire film was showcased at the Cannes International Film Festival this year, as a part of the Director's Fortnight. The film has received a lot of positive response and reviews by the audience and international media who view the film there. There were earlier some apprehensions about the length of the film, which for sure would have been more than tiresome for an international audience; but once the film began it became a charming world created perfectly with artistic vision and carefully drafted plot, that in no way lacked the entire length of the film. The cinematography of the film done by Rajeev Ravi seems excellent going by the trailers of the film. International audiences and reviewers have left no words out in praising the film and showering appreciation on its entire cast and crew, particularly it's director Anurag Kashyap.
The film's music is far too less conventional for the typical Hindi film audience and far too much regional keeping in mind the setting of the film. The music has been given by Sneha Khanwalker, who has earlier given music for Oye Lucky! Lucky Oye! and LSD; she is well known for her peculiar taste of searching for local music and sounds; and she has recreated the same for this one as well. All the songs of the film are quite different and quite unusual, most of them have strong appeal in terms of their sounds and very localized language and references.
As for the film's specifics and particulars, as in the story, direction, acting, etc. from a personal point of view; is worth the wait for me. So this June looking out for Gangs of Wasseypur to blow up the hype it has caused so far and turn positive on box office looking at the positive reviews after Cannes.
Meantime, here is a trailer and song from the film....
