An excited fan of the Gangs of Wasseypur series shared, “Come on, India! Let's cook up some money for Gangs of Wasseypur, so that we can urge the creators to push themselves for Part 3. We deserve it; India deserves it. #GangsOfWasseypur #AnuragKashyap @anuragkashyap72.” Others remembered Nawazuddin Siddiqui’s iconic dialogue ‘Baap ka bhai ka sabka badla lega ye tera Faizal’. Some even called the series ‘The God Of Gangster Film’.
Well, these re-releases are a great way to bring audiences back to theatres, especially with no big new release on the way. Another exciting re-release this Friday is- folk horror film Tumbbad (2018). In your opinion, which re-release will emerge as the winner after this clash— Rehnaa Hai Terre Dil Mein, Gangs of Wasseypur or Tumbbad?
