A list of the best films by the acclaimed Indian director Anurag Kashyap, ranked by user ratings and reviews. The list includes genres such as crime, drama, thriller, comedy and romance.
- BLACK FRIDAY (2007) Black Friday is more of a feeling – singularly shocking, stirring, cataclysmic, yet journalistic and depressingly objective, and one of the great achievements in Indian cinema.
- GANGS OF WASSEYPUR (2012) A bonafide mafia masterpiece, the two-part GoW became the one film that stylistically afforded Kashyap the scale and bandwidth to transform what are traditionally considered his shortcomings (density, information, tangential beats) into an enduring strength.
- DEV.D (2009) Gulaal's miraculous release was a result of this brazen Devdas adaptation catapulting Kashyap from indie messiah to mainstream matador. Rather than depicting modern addiction, Dev.D embodied its high – through a lethal cocktail of imagery, sound and wild spirit.
- GULAAL (2009) Tigmanshu Dhulia might want to use Gulaal as a bible for his brand of muddy political melodrama. I'm not sure we realize how hard it is to make a movie out of grass-root politics – a culture that thrives on veiled emotions, mundane faces and unfathomable timelines.
