The re-release of the romantic drama Sanam Teri Kasam is creating a buzz in the entertainment world. Originally released in 2016, the movie, starring Harshvardhan Rane and Mawra Hocane, is making a grand return to theaters. This Bollywood cult favorite did not perform well at the box office during its initial release but gained immense popularity on OTT platforms over the years. Due to increasing fan demand on social media, the makers decided to bring the film back to cinemas on February 7, 2025.
The re-release has already generated a lot of excitement among fans, with many shows reporting houseful bookings. Advance ticket sales are remarkable, with approximately 39,000 tickets sold so far, and around 20,000 tickets sold just for the opening day. As per predictions, the movie is expected to earn around ₹2 crore on its first day back in theaters, making it a strong contender for breaking re-release box office records.
The movie’s unique storyline and emotional performances by the lead actors are key reasons for its lasting popularity. The film portrays the journey of Inder (played by Harshvardhan Rane) and Saraswati (played by Mawra Hocane) as they navigate societal norms, love, and personal struggles. Its melodious soundtrack also played a major role in creating a loyal fanbase over the years.
The enthusiasm of fans is evident on social media platforms, with posts describing the movie as a “cult” classic and praising its re-release. Many fans expressed their excitement to watch this film on the big screen for the first time. Industry experts believe this re-release strategy will not only attract nostalgic fans but also introduce a new audience to the film.
Apart from Sanam Teri Kasam, the movie faces competition from new releases like Loveyapa and Badass Ravi Kumar. However, the strong fan base and advance bookings indicate that the re-release will perform exceptionally well, potentially outshining other films.
