Tutta l'India ne parla da quasi due mesi, ossia da quando ne era stata annunciata la prima mondiale, in edizione integrale, alla Quinzaine des réalisateurs al Festival di Cannes 2012. Gangs of Wasseypur, secondo quanto dichiarato dal regista stesso, è il prodotto più commerciale della carriera di Anurag Kashyap. GOW è un epico gangster movie che copre 60 anni e tre generazioni. La prima parte viene ora distribuita nelle sale del Paese. Nel cast Manoj Bajpayee e Nawazuddin Siddiqui. La colonna sonora, composta da Sneha Khanwalkar, ha infiammato il pubblico con il licenziosissimo brano Hunter. Vi propongo anche i video di Womaniya e Tain Tain To To. Kashyap ha dichiarato: 'My film has 25 item songs in it. Every character is an item. In fact, the entire film is an item'. Trailer.

'What is the perception of Indian cinema in Cannes?
All this while they had a notion that only meaningless film with a lot of dance and drama were made in India. To a certain extent that is true, but in the last couple of years a different kind of cinema has evolved. A lot of people in Bollywood laugh at films made in Malegaon, which is how our films were regarded in the west. They are now realising that good cinema is being made in India. They like our films because the kinds of films we are making are completely different. (...)
What is the best compliment that you received at Cannes?
A Frenchman who had seen both my films told me, 'You did a brilliant job in Gangs Of Wasseypur.' When I asked him about my performance in Miss Lovely he was shocked, as he didn't realise that I was a part of the film. For an actor it is a kind of compliment that people see you in different roles and fail to recognise you. It shows the kind of range and versatility that an actor has'.
