requirement
Wasseypur becomes the town that was once consumed by the raging war between Sardar Khan and Ramadhir Singh. It has spawned a new generation of money squandering lobbyists, turning into foolhardy gangs overnight. With illegal profiteering through scrap trade auctions over the Internet, corrupt government officials, election rigging and hooliganism, the town got murkier. Everyone wanted alliance with the most powerful man of Wasseypur, Faizal Khan. His sole ambition however, is to annihilate Ramadhir Singh, the man with the grand scheme. [7]
The film has been appreciated at its world premiere at the Cannes Directors Fortnight. The Hollywood Reporter in its review of the movie described it as "A dizzying explosion of an Indian gangster film, whose epic structure and colorful, immoral killers capture the imagination for over five hours."[10]
Music of Gangs of Wasseypur was launched on 23 May. Music for the album is composed by Sneha Khanwalkar along with Piyush Mishra composing certain songs. Lyrics for the album are written by Varun Grover and Piyush Mishra.

STORY
Towards the end of colonial India, Shahid Khan loots the British trains, impersonating the legendary Sultana Daku. Now outcast, Shahid becomes a worker at Ramadhir Singh’s colliery, only to spur a revenge battle that passes on to generations. At the turn of the decade, Shahid’s son, the philandering Sardar Khan vows to get his father’s honor back, becoming the most feared man of Wasseypur. Staying true to its real life influences, the film explores this revenge saga through the socio-political dynamic in erstwhile Bihar (North India), in the coal and scrap trade mafia of Wasseypur, through the imprudence of a place obsessed with mainstream ‘Bollywood’ cinema.Wasseypur becomes the town that was once consumed by the raging war between Sardar Khan and Ramadhir Singh.
