Overview

• In a joint on-camera conversation, Mishra said Gulaal, Dev D and Gangs of Wasseypur have strong openings followed by weaker second halves.
• Mishra noted he avoids rewatching Gulaal and only occasionally revisits Gangs of Wasseypur.
• Manoj Bajpayee agreed with the assessment and joked that Nawazuddin Siddiqui’s cameo rescued Dev D’s latter portion.
• Kashyap called Mishra unfiltered and took the remarks in stride, while both Mishra and Bajpayee also described him as a great filmmaker.
• Coverage placed the remarks alongside Kashyap’s active slate, with Nishaanchi set for a September 19 theatrical release, Bandar recently at TIFF and Kennedy still awaiting release after its Cannes premiere.
