BollywoodHungama 3.5/5

On the whole, GANGS OF WASSEYPUR symbolizes the fearless new Indian cinema that shatters the clichés and conventional formulas, something which Anurag Kashyap has come to be acknowledged for. It has all the trappings of an entertainer, but with a difference. The film prides itself with substance that connects with enthusiasts of new-age cinema. Read More

TimesOfIndia.com 3.5/5

The dialogues are 'killer', adding more quirkiness to this chaos. The electric background score (GV Prakash) keeps the tempo in this drama, and the music (Sneha Khanwalkar) though folkish, is hip and cool. But beware; GOW is not for the weak-hearted. So, hold on to your guns, gamchas and 'womaniyas'. Read More

NowRunning.com 3.5/5

The movie ends like a tease making you want more which sadly, to be followed by the second part. And despite its long run time in the first part itself and the cinematic liberties that the filmmaker takes Gangs of Wasseypur part 2 will definitely be a film eagerly awaited! Devour part one in the meantime! Read More

Rediff.com 2.5/5

Yet it is the excess that suffocates all the magic, originality dying out for lack of room to breathe. Kashyap gets flavour, setting and character right, but the lack of economy cripples the film. There is a lot of gunfire, but like the fine actors populating its sets, Wasseypur fires too many blanks. Read More

Reema Sen and Richa Chaddha are brilliant in this boring and monotonous drama. There's lust, urge for love, revenge, loose morals, expletive language and scenes that look recycled and end now here in this Gangs of Wasseypur. Read More

ApunKaChoice.com 3.5/5

Coming at regular intervals - in the form of brilliantly executed sequences, and finely extracted performances. Though violent and overlong, the film is a fairly enjoyable watch, and makes you look forward to the sequel. Read More

SantaBanta.com 4/5

Brutal, brilliant, dark, sinister, terrifying in its violence and yet savagely funny in the way human life is disregarded Gangs Of Wasseypur is one helluva romp into the raw and rugged heartland. Not to be missed. I can't wait to see the sequel. But be warned. Avoid meals half an hour before and after viewing. Read More

NDTV 3.5/5

It may not be for the faint-hearted and the prissy. Gangs of Wasseypur is a heavyweight knockout punch. You're down for the count! Read More

IBNLive.com 3.5/5

Bolstered by its riveting performances and its thrilling plot dynamics, this is a gripping film that seizes your full attention. I'm going with three-and-a-half out of five for Anurag Kashyap's Gangs of Wasseypur. Despite its occasionally indulgent narrative, this bullet-ridden saga is worthy of a repeat viewing, if only to catch all its nuances. Read More

BharatStudent 3.25/5

While the first half goes about in a moderate way with the regular elements of violence and few hard hitting scenes, it is the second half where the actual plot picks up and it races through the climax. Overall, this is a film which is not for the weak hearted as it contains a lot of expletives and cuss language. Read More

OneIndia

Gangs Of Wasseypur is a gritty, hellishly exciting film which stings and screams. It is definitely not for the faint hearted and fantasy lovers. It is Anurag Kashyup's one of the most impressive and brilliant works, at par with Black Friday. On the whole Gangs Of Wasseypur is a must watch as it symbolises the fearless Indian cinema!

Glamsham.com 3/5

Considering it's a complex film, handling the moods of his different characters would have taken a lot from Kashyap. He gives a 'close to reality' dose of cinema without taking the crude layer off. Read More
