Anurag Kashyap's `Black Friday` (2004) is cited by several critics and film scholars as his one of the best works till date. Even Hollywood filmmaker Danny Boyle cited 'Black Friday' as an inspiration for his 2008 Academy award-winning film 'Slumdog Millionaire' and stated that the opening chase scene from his film was inspired by 'Black Friday'. Just like 2004, the film is still shining on Disney+Hotstar platform but with huge missing details.

Recently, Anurag Kashyap highlighted the film's missing details on Twitter and retweeted a tweeter's tweet which quoted 'Black Friday' running time and edited scenes issue on Disney+Hotstar. The user raised a question on the streaming service with regards to the film's audio quality. The user's tweet reads as, "Black Friday's duration on @DisneyplusHSVIP is 133 min. The original run-time is 167 min. Who decides to edit the film? Who gives you the power to edit a film @hotstar_helps? Plus, the audio quality of the film is terribly bad." Check out his tweet here -



The crime film is written and directed by Anurag Kashyap which is based on Hussain Zaidi`s book 'Black Friday: The True Story of the Bombay Bomb Blasts'. The film featured Kay Kay Menon, Aditya Srivastava, Pavan Malhotra, Kishor Kadam, and Zakir Hussain in the pivotal roles. After a twenty-months of the ban, the film finally released with 100 screens on February 9th, 2007 in India. The film was released in DVD format on 5 April 2007 and is also available on online streaming service Disney+Hotstar.
