CINEOS Premiere

Gangs of Wasseypur

Three generations of a coal-country blood feud — five hours of ambition, betrayal, and song where revenge is inherited like a surname.

Across five hours it keeps you loose — songs, picaresque comedy, sudden laughter inside a killing — so no single scene lets the body fully clench. But the deaths accumulate, and because it has made each person completely human, every loss lands as a real subtraction. What stays is an exhausted, tragicomic recognition: each generation swears it will break the cycle, and the film already knows it won't.

FAQ

Is it really that long?

It's an epic in two parts, and it needs the room. The length is what lets you feel a whole dynasty rise and fall, so that each death carries everything that came before it.

Do I have to keep track of everyone?

Some, but don't panic. The film moves like a saga — surnames, grudges, and songs recur until the pattern teaches you the family tree without you having to memorise it.
