Was reminded of this * * * * movie when I saw Nawazuddin Siddiqui in The LunchBox recently. Plucked seemingly out of nowhere, NS plays Faizal Khan to perfection - a shadowy, chillum-smoking character who reluctantly transforms to become the lynchpin of one of the gangs involved in a bloody multi-generational tussle. GoW, the finest hour of Anurag Khashyap's career thus far, in a way is also a study of the evolution of India from independence to "modern" day. Outstanding soundtrack. And a brilliant cast of nobodies.
Rating: * * * *

Deadly flick but I am not sure if I would have given it ****. Mr. Siddiqui is very impressive and I hope to see more of his movies. The soundtrack is stuck in my head and is firmly ensconced in my Saavan queue.
What would you have given it?
