Huma Qureshi recalls her debut at Cannes for Gangs of Wasseypur premiere

This year marks the tenth anniversary of Gangs of Wasseypur (2012). The Anurag Kashyap directorial is still ahead of the curve in Hindi cinema, exactly as it was when it was first released. In the years that followed, no Hindi film has come close to matching its ambition, enthusiasm, and cinephilic desire.

Gangs of Wasseypur premiered in May 2012 as part of the Directors' Fortnight at the Cannes Film Festival. Huma Qureshi, who made her Bollywood debut in the film, took to social media to express how the experience transformed her life.
