Meeruthiya Gangsters

Clearly Zeishan Quadri wears his influences on his sleeve. Writer of Gangs of Wasseypur gave a perfect tribute to Anurag Kashyap, Ram Gopal Verma, Quentin Tarantino cinema.

The film is less about the story and more about the improvised screenplay. All the characters are dark, sleazy, dirty and perfectly capture the environment of UP. Since Ive interacted with a lot of them in small doses... I could clearly pick the nuances highlighted in the movie.

All the actors played their part perfectly. Mukul Dev gets a special mention since he is very underrated as an actor. Female characters dont get much scope.

The problems with the movie seem like there wasnt a straight direction of storyline. It seems wayward and less focused. Not a lot of effort had to be put into the 'light' comic elements... since we are dealing with comedy of errors thriller here.

In the end I would just point out that I dont know if cinema influences audience or the world influences cinema... but either way... it was sad to see the enjoyment loafers had watching this movie in theaters. Im sure they are somewhat criminal minded just like the characters of the movie. And these kind of movies that makes crime look 'fun' dont teach the right morality to the youth of today.
