‘Gangs of Wasseypur 2′ Sees a Premature End at the Box Office
The way ‘Gangs of Wasseypur 2′ played over it’s mid-week release, it was apparent that the film wasn’t really headed towards a total that would have resulted in the makers smiling. The film opened on a barely average note and when the entire extended weekend passed by without any rise in collections, it was apparent that this Anurag Kashyap film would have a restricted run for itself.

The first week’s collections (over 9 days) reads a little over 18 crores which just about manages to bring the film closer to the coverage mark. Taking into consideration the fact that this is a starless affair and not quite directed at the family audience, the film (in both parts) has at least brought Anurag into the commercial arena. Overall though the collections are still disappointing for a film which definitely deserved better. However, lack of star value, abundance of adult content (violence, language) and the biggest factor of them all – arrival of ‘Ek Tha Tiger’ – means the film would see a premature end in theatres.
Collectively, ‘Gangs of Wassseypur 1 and 2′ would end at over 50 crores mark which is the highest that an Anurag Kashyap film has ever scored at the box office. He would definitely be hoping for a better box office outcome in films to come, now that some substantial moolah has flowed in.

GOW I and II is an example of reality within India,the setting and the acting is raw and realistic,if you think tis a bad influence every single Hindi movie out there influences the youth, this movie jsut show how they are influenced it is realistic and does not need those gay shit special effects as the setting is fucking amazing and so are the songs…. the characters suit their roles.Do you watch movies because”of the actors” or because of the art.
its not a crap dear sarifa, the film deals with reality and fully pasa vasool too,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,watch 4 times
till the moment movie going audience matures, films ike ek tha tiger will rule the roost. Stars like Salman will make cash and indian audience will be treated as shit.. Genuine and path breaking movies like Gangs of Wasseypur I & II.
The movie had too much violence and abusive lang. We hav enough of that on our streets y waste money to see such crap
bakwas movie
Ek tha tiger is nonsense movie. Collection of Ek tha tiger only reflects the dumb and stupid audience of India!
