- Synopsis:
Towards the end of colonial India, Shahid Khan (Jaideep Ahlawat) loots the British trains, impersonating the legendary Sultana Daku (Pramod Pathak). Now outcast, Shahid becomes a worker at Ramadhir Singh's (Tigmanshu Dhulia)'s colliery, only to spur a revenge battle that passes on to generations. At the turn of the decade, Shahid's son, the philandering Sardar Khan (Manoj Bajpayee) vows to get his father's honor back, becoming the most feared man of Wasseypur. Staying true to its real life influences, the film explores this revenge saga through the socio-political dynamic in erstwhile Bihar (North India), in the coal and scrap trade mafia of Wasseypur, through the imprudence of a place obsessed with mainstream 'Bollywood' cinema. - Actors:
