Gangs of Wasseypur is a 2012 epic crime film in Hindi that was written and directed by Anurag Kashyap and Zeishan Quadri. It follows the power struggles, politics, and retaliation among three crime families across three generations, from 1941 to 2009, with a focus on the coal mafia in Dhanbad, Jharkhand.
Since no Indian theater would offer to show a film longer than five hours, it was divided into two parts for that market. Originally, both parts were shot as a single film totaling 321 minutes, and it was presented at the 2012 Cannes Directors' Fortnight.
