Sanam Teri Kasam Re-Release Breaks Records
Sanam Teri Kasam Re-Release Surpasses Expectations
The re-release trend in Indian cinema continues to surprise everyone. While Christopher Nolan’s Interstellar was expected to dominate the box office with its highly anticipated re-release oh Sanam Teri Kasam, a small Bollywood film stole the show instead.
The biggest winner of last weekend was none other than Movie, a 2016 Bollywood film that originally failed at the box office. Despite being a commercial flop, the movie’s soulful music gained a cult following over the years, which ultimately led to its phenomenal success upon re-release.
Record-Breaking Box Office Collection for Sanam Teri Kasam
Starring Harshavardhan Rane and Mawra Hocane, Movie made an unexpected comeback by collecting a staggering ₹15.50 crore in its opening weekend.
📊 Day-wise box office breakdown:
Friday: ₹4.24 crore
Saturday: ₹5.25 crore
Sunday: ₹6 crore
👉 This total is 170% higher than the film’s lifetime earnings during its original 2016 release!
The movie’s iconic soundtrack, which has remained popular for almost a decade, played a crucial role in attracting audiences back to theaters. With limited competition from new releases, the film expected to maintain strong numbers in the coming days.
Interstellar’s Re-Release Performance in India
Christopher Nolan’s Interstellar, regarded as one of the greatest sci-fi films of all time, was also re-released last Friday. While it performed well in select cities, its overall collection in India fell short compared to Sanam Teri Kasam.
📊 Interstellar’s first weekend box office:
Friday: ₹2.4 crore
Saturday: ₹3.25 crore
Sunday: ₹3.25 crore
👉 Total: ₹9 crore
Despite the lower numbers compared to this movie, Interstellar’s re-release was still a success for a Hollywood film in India. The movie expected to wrap up its run with collections around ₹15 crore, which is impressive for an international re-release.
Re-Releases Outshine New Bollywood Films
The combined weekend collections of Sanam Teri Kasam and Interstellar crossed ₹24 crore, surpassing the earnings of new Bollywood releases like:
🔸 Badass Ravikumar
🔸 Loveyaapa
The unexpected success of Sanam Teri Kasam proves that audience nostalgia and strong music can drive box office results, even for films that were initially unsuccessful.
