"Lagta hai kuch bada aane wala hai. Tabahi I mean Gangs of Wasseypur 3," wrote a third user.

Actor Manoj Bajpayee, who played Sardar Khan in the film, also marked the day with a heartfelt post.

He wrote, "Hazraat, Hazraat, Hazraat! 13 years ago, Wasseypur redefined Indian cinema. A saga of coal, crime, and cult dialogues that still echo across screens and streets. More than a project, this became a moment in history, one that shaped Indian cult cinema forever."

Gangs of Wasseypur was released in two parts -- the first on June 22 and the second on August 8, 2012. The story covered nearly seven decades, from 1941 to 2009, focusing on coal mafias, crime families, and the endless fights for power in Dhanbad.

Besides winning hearts and earning critical praise, both parts of the film turned into box office successes. Today, 'Gangs of Wasseypur' continues to enjoy a huge fan base, with many calling it one of the best Indian films ever made. (ANI)
