Quick Read
Some films fade with time, while others quietly find a second life on the internet. Gangs of Wasseypur seems to belong to the latter category. Thirteen years after its release, the film appears to have only grown bigger in pop culture and continues to show up in everyday conversations, not just through film clubs or rewatches, but also through an endless number of memes that fans keep creating on social media.
For actor Huma Qureshi, who played Mohsina in the film, this still amazes her. She says the film`s scenes and lines have taken on a life of their own, and she still gets stopped by fans who want her to repeat her most iconic dialogues, including "permission" and "Apni amma ke saath jao" from the cult classic.
