Anurag Kashyap's five-hour crime epic is split into two parts spanning generations of bloody family feuds. Here's how to watch Gangs of Wasseypur in order.

Gangs of Wasseypur is a sprawling Hindi crime saga set in the coal-mining region around Dhanbad. It traces a decades-long vendetta between the Khan family and the powerful politician Ramadhir Singh. Bursting with dark humor, unforgettable dialogue and a brilliant folk-inspired soundtrack, it became a cult classic and launched Nawazuddin Siddiqui to stardom. Both parts premiered at the Cannes Film Festival's Directors' Fortnight.

πŸ• Release Order

The story was released as two films in the same year.

  1. Gangs of Wasseypur – Part 1 (2012)
  2. Gangs of Wasseypur – Part 2 (2012)

The two parts are one continuous story, so release order and chronology line up perfectly.

πŸ“– Story Chronology

Part 1 begins in the 1940s and centers on Sardar Khan, played by Manoj Bajpayee, as he swears revenge for his father's murder. Part 2 jumps forward to follow his son Faizal Khan, played by Nawazuddin Siddiqui, as the feud reaches its explosive conclusion in the 2000s.

  2. Gangs of Wasseypur – Part 2 (2012)

Which Order Should You Choose?

Watch Part 1 first, then Part 2, ideally close together. Kashyap originally conceived it as a single five-hour film, and many of Part 2's biggest moments depend on characters and grudges set up in the first half. Don't let the runtime scare you; it's one of the most entertaining crime epics in Indian cinema, with the energy of a Scorsese gangster film and a style all its own.
