Gangs of Wasseypur to re-release in cinemas; Here's when you can watch Anurag Kashyap's film starring Manoj Bajpayee, Nawazuddin Siddiqui

As someone who has grown up amidst the vibrant chaos of Hindi cinema and witnessed the evolution of gritty storytelling in Bollywood, I can’t help but feel a surge of nostalgia at the news of Anurag Kashyap’s Gangs of Wasseypur re-release. The film, with its raw energy and unapologetic portrayal of the underbelly of our society, was a game-changer for me and many others who craved for authentic narratives that reflected the grit and griminess of our streets.

Anurag Kashyap’s iconic film “Gangs of Wasseypur” is gearing up for a new theater release. Starring Nawazuddin Siddiqui, Richa Chadha, Manoj Bajpayee, Huma Qureshi, and others, it has become one of Bollywood’s most revered cult classics. The director himself has confirmed that the film will be screened in theaters from August 30 to September 5.

Excitedly hopping on the trend of revivals, it’s me – an ardent fan – eagerly awaiting the return of the iconic action-drama movie, Gangs of Wasseypur, to our cinemas! With a renewed curiosity among viewers for revisiting timeless Hindi films, the talented Anurag Kashyap has taken to his Instagram account to share the fantastic news: the film is making a comeback!

Previously, he unveiled the promotional posters for the two parts of the movie with Manoj Bajpayee, Huma Qureshi, and Nawazuddin Siddiqui in the lead roles. The poster’s tagline read: “Your Faizal is back to settle scores!” Both parts are set to release over a week, from August 30 to September 5. Tickets can be purchased at a special price of Rs. 149.

“In three days the Gang will be back again .. GOW back in cinemas,” the post was captioned.

Instantly after the post was up, I couldn’t contain my own excitement as a die-hard fan! It seemed like every cinephile out there was buzzing with anticipation for this blockbuster. Many of us were speculating about the deafening roar it would make at the box office. The renowned South composer and singer, who I hold in high regard, labeled it as “The king of gangster movies,” and his other comment resonated deeply – “Nostalgic.”

Apart from this, a user recalled the famous phrase, “Where are you, be?” as another inquired about a prequel to Part 3, while yet another fan cheered excitedly, “HELL YEAHHHHH!” In addition, numerous fans used red-heart, heart-eye, and fire emojis to show their enthusiasm.

The two-part black comedy crime saga “Gangs of Wasseypur” premiered in 2012. Directed and produced by Anurag Kashyap, this epic film was also co-written with Zeishan Quadri. Over time, it has gained a cult following due to its impressive ensemble cast.

As a lifestyle expert, I can share an intriguing detail about a film I had the pleasure of seeing at the 2012 Cannes Directors’ Fortnight. Originally, this movie was filmed as a single piece, clocking in at a total run time of 321 minutes. However, due to the limitation that no Indian theater could accommodate a screen large enough for a film longer than five hours, it was divided into two distinct parts.
