Towards the end of colonial
India, Shahid Khan loots the British trains, impersonating the legendary
Sultana Daku. Now outcast, Shahid becomes a worker at Ramadhir Singh`s
colliery, only to spur a battle
that passes on to generations. At the turn of the decade, Shahid`s son,
the philandering Sardar Khan 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, in the coal and scrap trade mafia of Wasseypur, through the imprudence of a place obsessed with mainstream `Bollywood` cinema.
