Anurag Kashyap, along with co-writer Zeishan Quadri (who based the story on his own family’s history), crafted a raw, kinetic, and brutally realistic portrait of India’s small-town gangsterism. The film stars an ensemble cast: Manoj Bajpayee, Nawazuddin Siddiqui, Richa Chadha, Huma Qureshi, Pankaj Tripathi, Tigmanshu Dhulia, Vineet Kumar, and Jaideep Ahlawat. Part 1 (1940s–1980s) The story begins with Shahid Khan, a dacoit in pre-Independence India, who works for the local zamindar, Ramadhir Singh’s father. After Shahid is killed for betraying Ramadhir’s family, his son, Sardar Khan (Manoj Bajpayee), grows up with a single obsession: to avenge his father and reclaim his “right” over Wasseypur.

Initially a drug-addled, seemingly lazy slacker, Faizal emerges as the new don, vowing to finish what his father started. His relationship with the beautiful and cunning Mohsina (Huma Qureshi) adds a rare tenderness to the bloody narrative. Anurag Kashyap, along with co-writer Zeishan Quadri (who
