RANKED: All Movies Anurag Kashyap Has Ever Directed

Anurag Kashyap is perhaps one of the best examples of an insuppressible voice in the Indian film industry. He is a filmmaker who is known to go all-out to protect his vision and what he believes in. 

Perhaps that is why he hasn't reached the stature that he should have; people generally have a problem with those who won't agree to a compromise.

But precisely because of his stubborness, his originality, his voice stays intact. And that is why, those who do end up watching his films, usually become intrigued by it, and eventually get hooked. 

Here are all of his films, ranked:

#10 Bombay Velvet

A classic case of a beautiful building that is hollow from the inside. The movie had high ambitions but was a disappointment in almost every other way. 

#9 Paanch

His flawed first film never was released but showed his early potential to make complex and seething cinema.

#8 The Girl in Yellow Boots

A slightly simplistic tale that didn't have the layered approach that the auteur director is famous for. Though, his leads did a commendable job.

#7 No Smoking

Though the movie shouldn't have been lambasted by the critics as much as it has been, even the director would agree that he could have invited the audiences into his mind a little better. 

#6 Gulaal

The movie that reassured everyone of what a talent he is. The movie also brought out another fact: that nobody makes crime dramas as he does.

#5 Raman Raghav 2.0

A fantastic take on the serial-killer genre, the film has a flawless performance from Nawazuddin Siddiqui. The director returned to form after the disappointment of Bombay Velvet and took us in the mind of a psychopath and the underbelly of Mumbai.

#4 Dev D

The movie that put him on the map in a lot of ways. This modern take on Devdas boasted strong performances, fantastic songs and assured direction.

#3 Ugly

This riveting story about a kidnapped girl will make you question yourself in a lot of ways. Largely because of a fantastic script and overall strength of the director's vision.

#2 Black Friday

Among one of the best movies to be ever made about a real terrorist event, Black Friday showed us the intelligence of the filmmaker. This movie is a must watch for cinema fans for a plethora of reasons.  

#1 Gangs of Wasseypur

Anurag Kashyap's Magnum Opus. This epic crime saga is one of the most refreshing, profound and funny movies in the genre. If Dev D put the director on the map, Gangs of Wasseypur made him a legend.
