Welcome to Wesseypur. The land of power, politics and murders. The movie is a no-sugar-coated take on the brutal reality that revolves around small-town politics, where important decisions are just a gun shot away and the male centered society prefers to reach important decisions through mass murdering and shoot-outs.
Wesseypur as a story is pretty interesting, nicely written. Wesseypur as a movie, is a good watch. Certainly something that's very different as compared to the usual "Bollywood" standards.
The movie's motive is to depict small-town politics. It's gripping, but the movie is long and the story takes leaps and jumps in between. The violence and the rawness is pretty evident but somewhere the story loses the track by just an inch. It's like stories that encircle each other in a very redundant pattern, in such a way that you may get lost. GOW, to me was good. Strictly good. Different. Brutal. But, strictly good. I may differ from the popular opinion which acclaims this movie, because most people like movies that grip their imaginations and keep their brains ticking through a twisted plot-within-a-plot format. But yes, I'm different in ways that don't really match the ways of the world.
Next up, GOW 2.
My Rating- 2/5
