Anurag Kashyap has announced a special re-release of his iconic film Gangs of Wasseypur, which will return to cinemas from August 30 to September 5. This re-release is set to reignite the cinematic experience of the crime-comedy that has become a cultural landmark in Indian cinema. Kashyap made the announcement on Instagram, sharing the news with fans and revealing that tickets will be priced at Rs 149.
Released in 2012, Gangs of Wasseypur is renowned for its raw and gritty portrayal of the coal mafia in Dhanbad. The film, starring Manoj Bajpayee, Huma Qureshi, and Nawazuddin Siddiqui, has achieved cult status due to its intense storytelling, memorable dialogues, and significant impact on pop culture. Phrases like “Keh ke lenge uski” and “Beta… tumse na ho payega” have become part of the film’s legacy, inspiring memes and influencing both audiences and future filmmakers.
The film’s impact extends beyond its release, having been a launching pad for actors like Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Pankaj Tripathi. In a recent conversation with News18 Showsha, Tripathi reflected on the unique atmosphere during the shoot of Gangs of Wasseypur. He fondly recalled the camaraderie among the cast, which he noted is rare in contemporary film sets where actors often remain isolated in their vanity vans. Tripathi’s memories highlight the collaborative and engaging environment of the shoot, contrasting sharply with the more segmented approach of today’s film industry.
The re-release offers a chance for both new audiences and long-time fans to experience the film on the big screen once more, celebrating its enduring influence and memorable cinematic achievements.
