These moments do appear at times throughout the saga, but the problem is they feel few and far between. It is about humanity and the reason why they are the way they are. It is not about the violence, it is not about the greed, it is not even about the crime. The great thing about “The Godfather” trilogy, “Goodfellas,” “The Sopranos” or other mob stories depicted on American film and television is that they have quiet moments where character development is the only focus. While the story progression and the truth at the heart of these events is prevalent, the film could have used more moments of subtlety. There is one small critique that must be made about gangs. Since women have the ability for violence they could have had a bigger hand in driving the negativity and hatred between the three families. My only wish would be to see more contribution from the female characters outside of Durga as they are easily involved in the strategic plans for power. And Durga herself is a fascinating study of the duality and conflict placed on women in families where crime and bloodshed are proudly part of the heritage. The complicated husband/wife relationship between Nagma and Sardar, as well as, the love triangle created by Sardar’s second wife Durga (played by Reemma Sen) are integral to part one of the film.

Male presence is heavy throughout both parts of the film, but the women do contribute to the plot at times. Rao only appears in part two but the actor is already making incredible strides in his career, and is one of the finest of the new crop of Bollywood actors. Pay special attention to actors like Tigmanshu Dhulia as Ramadhir, Huma Qureshi as Mohsina, Richa Chadda as Nagma and Rajkummar Rao as Shamshad. Both actors excel in their complicated roles, and the supporting players are no less competent.
