Tumbbad was gearing up for a box-office comeback, but “Sabka Badla Lega Tera Faizal”—Gangs of Wasseypur—is also getting a re-release. And guess what the date is? August 30th, right alongside Tumbbad.
Tumbbad was set for a dream run on August 30th, with fans eagerly anticipating its release, but the makers have created a big hurdle. There were no advertisements, and the pre-bookings haven’t even started. Now, there’s a huge “bloody” problem.
The name is: Gangs of Wasseypur.
Ring a bell?
August 30th is already going to be a busy day for cinephiles, and the release of Thangalaan makes it even more competitive. But Gangs of Wasseypur might just take the biggest share of the pie.
The fanbase of Anurag Kashyap’s classic is one of the most dedicated, and Gangs of Wasseypur is arguably one of the best films ever made in the Indian subcontinent. It has every chance of grabbing a hefty paycheck.
On the official website of Miraj Cinemas, fans can already get their tickets. This will undoubtedly put Gangs of Wasseypur miles ahead of other releases. Even based on the sheer fanbase alone, GoW will surely be the first choice for many. The only thing that could hold Gangs of Wasseypur back is limited screens.
Stree 2 is still going strong in terms of the number of shows, and the hype surrounding Thangalaan is unreal.
Obviously, it’s Gangs of Wasseypur—fans will flock to watch it. The sheer craze behind these iconic films is destined to make life hell for Tumbbad. The only saving grace is that Gangs of Wasseypur is slated to be in theaters until September 5th, but as fragile as these things are, they could easily extend it.
Tumbbad is already far behind in terms of popularity and hype, but it does have its solid fanbase. The question remains: when these two classics clash, will fans choose Tumbbad, or will they opt for Gangs of Wasseypur?
Just yesterday, it seemed like Tumbbad was set for a dream run, but now that dream has turned into a nightmare. That’s how fate works—back in 2018, most fans overlooked Tumbbad, and now, six years later, history seems poised to repeat itself.
