8 Re-releases

As new films struggle to find their footing at the Indian box office, older classics are making a triumphant return to cinemas. If you missed these gems the first time around, now's your chance to catch them on the big screen.

Here are 8 movies currently enjoying a re-release in theaters:

Laila Majnu

Sajid Ali’s 2018 romantic drama Laila Majnu, co-written with his brother Imtiaz Ali, is back in cinemas this week. The film, starring Avinash Tiwary and Triptii Dimri, may attract more attention this time, as both leads have since established themselves in the industry with hits like Madgaon Express and Animal.

Rockstar

Imtiaz Ali’s 2011 musical drama Rockstar, featuring Ranbir Kapoor and Nargis Fakhri, has been running in cinemas for weeks now, earning over ₹5 crore since its re-release. The film’s iconic music and intense performances make it a must-watch on the big screen.

Raja Babu

For those wanting to dive deeper into nostalgia, Dhawan’s 1994 comedy Raja Babu is also playing in cinemas. Starring Govinda and Karisma Kapoor, this laugh riot is a timeless classic, recently enjoyed by Dhawan’s son Varun Dhawan at a cinema hall.

Golmaal Returns

While Rohit Shetty may have put Golmaal 5 on hold, fans can still enjoy the 2008 comedy Golmaal Returns in theaters. Starring Ajay Devgn, Kareena Kapoor, Arshad Warsi, Kunal Kemmu, and Shreyas Talpade, this film offers a fun-filled experience for comedy lovers.

Dangal

For those inspired by the Olympic spirit, Aamir Khan’s 2016 blockbuster Dangal is back in cinemas. Directed by Nitesh Tiwari, this coming-of-age wrestling drama, featuring Fatima Sana Shaikh, Sanya Malhotra, and Aparshakti Khurana, continues to inspire and entertain.

Love Aaj Kal

Another Imtiaz Ali film making its way back to theaters is the 2009 hit Love Aaj Kal, starring Saif Ali Khan, Deepika Padukone, and the late Rishi Kapoor. While the film was a commercial success upon its initial release, its 2020 reboot with Kartik Aaryan and Sara Ali Khan didn’t fare as well. This re-release offers a chance to relive the original’s magic.

Partner

David Dhawan’s 2007 blockbuster comedy Partner, starring Salman Khan, Govinda, Katrina Kaif, and Lara Dutta, is back in theaters. This buddy comedy is perfect for those looking for a hearty laugh and a dose of nostalgia.

Hum Aapke Hain Koun

Sooraj Barjatya’s 1994 romantic comedy Hum Aapke Hain Koun..!, starring Salman Khan and Madhuri Dixit, is celebrating its 30th anniversary with a re-release. This film, credited with reviving single-screen cinemas, is a delightful watch for fans of timeless love stories.
