This announcement was made through Kashyap's Instagram account, where he shared his excitement with the message, "In three days the Gang will be back... GOW back in cinemas (sic)."

The Film’s Impact and History

Gangs of Wasseypur, which originally debuted in 2012, is a two-part saga that explores the coal mafia’s influence over three generations in Wasseypur, a small town in Jharkhand. The film, praised for its gripping narrative and strong performances, stars Manoj Bajpayee, Nawazuddin Siddiqui, Richa Chadha, and several other notable actors including Rajkummar Rao, Pankaj Tripathi, and Jaideep Ahlawat.

The movie, co-written by Kashyap and Zeishan Quadri, was well-received by critics and became a commercial success. The soundtrack, composed by Sneha Khanwalkar and Piyush Mishra, is also highly regarded. The first part was released on June 22, 2012, while the second part came out on August 8, 2012.

Tickets and Showtimes

Tickets for the re-release are available on the Miraj Cinemas official website. Fans of the film are encouraged to revisit the cinematic experience on the big screen.

Additional Insights

Varun Grover, who contributed to the film’s lyrics, also commented on the re-release, noting that the second part didn’t have a full run in theatres due to the release of Ek Tha Tiger. The film was celebrated globally, including a full screening at the Cannes Directors' Fortnight in 2012, a rare achievement for Hindi-language films.

This re-release offers a fresh opportunity for fans and new viewers to experience the film's impactful storytelling and compelling performances once again.
