Anurag Kashyap’s epic saga of vendetta and greed gives over-the-top a new definition with its unflinching and relentless use of violence, brazen acts of machismo, and raunchy sexual innuendos. This five-hour masterclass that spreads across a span of 70 years, evolves with changing societal scenarios and ethics, but at no point does the film attempt to veil anything and takes its time to grind every element of its colourful characters into the consciousness of the audience. Loosely based on the erstwhile coal mafia of Bihar, GOW is never short of bullets, blood, edgy dialogues, humour, and entertainment. In a short time, it has garnered a cult following and the legend will only grow.
Director – Anurag Kashyap
