Ep 078 | Gangs of Wasseypur: Part 2 Review - A Grand Finale
After a slow burn start we're finishing off Anurag Kashyap's Gangs of Wasseypur saga, with our Part 2 review and our moods have certainly shifted. This film picks up immediately after the events of the first with Sardar Khan's assassination and eventually sees Sardar's second son, Faizal, played Nawazuddin Siddiqui take the control of his father's empire and grow it to new heights. While we didn't love the first, this film absolutely makes us understand why this series is so popular.
