A coal mafia in small-town Wasseypur has been ruled by the ruthless Qureshi family for generations. When a poor laborer named Shahid Khan is killed after crossing them, his son Sardar Khan grows up nursing a single obsession: revenge. Sardar spends decades building his own gang, sleeping with his enemy's women, and waiting for the right moment to strike. But his war against the Qureshis becomes a curse he passes down to his own three sons—especially the youngest, Faizal, who wants nothing to do with bloodshed. By the time Sardar dies, the feud is far from over. It has only just begun.
