The 2016 Marathi blockbuster Sairat, a romantic drama tragedy starring Rinku Rajguru and Akash Thosar, became a nationwide sensation upon its release. To the delight of fans, the critically acclaimed film, directed by Nagraj Manjule, is set to make a grand return to the big screen.
The makers of Sairat confirmed on March 10 that the film will be re-released in theatres on March 21, 2025, offering audiences a chance to relive its powerful storytelling and timeless music once again.
Production banner Zee Studios shared the news of the film’s re-release on Monday in their latest post on X. Along with a poster of the film, the caption of the post read, "Iss zingaat jodi ke saath aap phir se #Sairat hone taiyyar hain? Re-releasing in cinemas on 21st March."
Sairat tells the poignant love story of Archie (Rinku Rajguru) and Parshya (Akash Thosar), two college students from different castes whose romance ignites deep-seated familial and societal conflicts.
