“Baap ka, Dada ka, Bhai ka, sabka badla lega re tera Faizal,” said Nawazuddin Siddiqui in the 2012 film. Chronicling the story of the rival gangs fighting for their power in the coal city, Anurag Kashyap stunned the audience with the ruthless and rooted-in-reality portrayal with pure emotions – whether it’s love or hatred. With the motto of ‘villains are not born, they are made,’ Faizal Khan takes over the morally grey behavior after he was forced to live in certain circumstances. Turning the page, the drug addict becomes ruthless eventually in the film. Gaining the tag of a cult classic, ‘Gangs of Wasseypur’ has the dialogues that are still being recited and contains the infectious songs that might shed a tear or groove endlessly. Along with Siddhiqui, the extensive cast includes Manoj Bajpayee, Huma Qureshi, Pankaj Tripathi, Jaideep Ahlawat, Richa Chadha, Zeeshan Quadri, and more.
