Hindi Gangs Of Wasseypur (2012)

Gangs of Wasseypur is a 2012 Indian two-part crime movie, produced and directed by Anurag Kashyap, and written by Kashyap and Zeishan Quadri. Centered on the coal mafia (Mafia Raj) of Dhanbad, and the underlying power struggles, politics and vengeance between three crime families, the movie features an ensemble cast, with Manoj Bajpai, Nawazuddin Siddiqui, Huma Qureshi, Richa Chadda and Tigmanshu Dhulia in the major roles. Its story spans from 1941 to 2009. Both parts were originally shot as a single movie measuring a total of 319 minutes and screened at the 2012 Cannes Directors’ Fortnight, but, since no Indian theatre would volunteer to screen a more-than-five-hour movie, it was divided into two parts for the Indian market. The music of the movie is composed by Sneha Khanwalkar, and Piyush Mishra while lyrics are written by Varun Grover and Piyush Mishra.
