The 2016 cult romantic drama was initially released in the theatres on February 5, 2016, but didn’t receive the response as expected.

It was then re-released during Valentine's week and has been since running in the theatres. The film has now officially surpassed the collection of Tumbbad and bagged the spot of the highest-grossing re-release film ever. The horror film collected over Rs 32 crore collection in India. Meanwhile, Sanam Teri Kasam is still running in theatres and nearing the Rs 53 crore mark.

According to the reports by Sacnilk, Sanam Teri Kasam's re-release collected over Rs 32 crore within just 16 days. The film's success changed the rules of the entertainment industry, showing that a simple love story made under a small budget can be a big hit. Meanwhile, Sanam Teri Kasam’s ongoing success has now taken its global earnings beyond Rs 50 crore, including both its initial and re-release collections.

Sanam Teri Kasam is directed by Radhika Rao and Vinay Sapru and features stunning cinematography by Chirantan Das. The film stars Harshvardhan Rane, Mawra Hocane, Vijay Raaz, and Murli Sharma in pivotal roles. The film follows the love story of a rugged ex-convict, Inder, played by Harshvardhan and a traditional librarian, Saru, essayed by Mawra, whose love story takes a heartbreaking turn.
