After almost a decade, the romantic drama Sanam Teri Kasam is making a return to theaters in India on February 7, 2025. The 2016 film, which starred Harshvardhan Rane and Pakistani actress Mawra Hocane, originally didn’t do well at the box office. However, over the years, it has gained a loyal fanbase and achieved cult status. Now, its re-release is creating a lot of excitement, especially with strong advance bookings.
In the first 12 hours of its advance ticket sales, Sanam Teri Kasam has sold 20,000 tickets in major national theatre chains. This is a fantastic sign for the film, as it shows that fans are eager to watch the tragic love story on the big screen once again.
The film's strong word-of-mouth is expected to bring large audiences to theaters, unlike its original release. Experts predict that Sanam Teri Kasam will make an impressive opening of around Rs 2 crore on its first day, a big improvement from its original box office opening of just Rs 1 crore.
The movie, directed by Radhika Rao and Vinay Sapru, is set to compete with two other films releasing this week—Badass Ravi Kumar and Loveyapa—as well as the 2014 Hollywood hit Interstellar, which is also showing in Hindi markets.
Fans of Sanam Teri Kasam have developed a deep connection with the film's characters, Inder and Saru, played by Harshvardhan Rane and Mawra Hocane. The emotional and heart-wrenching storyline, combined with the on-screen chemistry between the lead actors, has made the film a favorite among cinephiles. The film’s music, composed by Himesh Reshammiya, is also a big factor in its popularity. Songs like Kheech Meri Photo and Tera Chehra remain well-loved, especially among young audiences.
There is hope that the film will repeat the success of Laila Majnu, another tragic love story that initially failed at the box office but found success during a re-release. Just like Laila Majnu, Sanam Teri Kasam has a chance to change its box office fate if it is well-received during its re-run. Many fans who missed the movie in theaters when it first released or who later watched it on platforms like YouTube or OTT are excited to see it on the big screen for the first time.
