Fans shared their excitement in the comments section. While one of them called it, "The greatest Hindi movie ever", another wrote, "Box office will be on fire."

Several others wrote down film's popular dialogues such as 'Chabi kidhar hai', 'Hazrat Hazrat Hazrat', and 'Sabka badla lega.'
The cult classic had received rave reviews upon its release in 2012.

Gangs of Wasseypur was screened at the 2012 Cannes Film Festival under the Director's Fortnight section as a single film with a total duration of 321 minutes. Centred on the coal mafia in Dhanbad, Anurag Kashyap's two-part epic is counted among the greatest films ever made in the 21st century, by several international publications.
