Harshvardhan Rane and Mawra Hocane’s romantic drama, Sanam Teri Kasam, was re-released in theaters on February 7. Despite competing with new releases like Loveyapa and Badass Ravikumar, the film exceeded its original domestic collection within just two days. According to Sacnilk, it has now recorded the largest weekend for a Bollywood re-release.
On Monday, Sanam Teri Kasam minted ₹3-3.25 crore, surpassing the combined total of the new releases: Sky Force (₹0.45 crore), Deva (₹0.50 crore), Badass Ravikumar (₹0.60 crore), and Loveyapa (₹0.60 crore). This brought the film’s total earnings to ₹18.50 crore, more than double its original lifetime domestic earnings. The makers, however, claim that the film has collected ₹22.09 crore at the box office over the weekend.
The film’s opening weekend collection is approximately ₹15.50 crore net, marking it as the largest weekend for a Bollywood re-release, according to Sacnilk. Additionally, the re-release has posed tough competition to the new films, with Badass Ravikumar earning ₹6.75 crore and Loveyapa earning ₹5.15 crore, while Sanam Teri Kasam has outperformed their combined total. The film is likely to continue benefiting from the upcoming Valentine’s week.
Speaking of the release, the very excited Harshvardhan Rane said, “It is a very soothing feeling. This makes you believe in what Shah Rukh Khan sir said (in Om Shanti Om), ‘Agar sab thik na ho toh woh the end nahi hai, picture abhi baaki hai mere dost.’ I could resonate with that dialogue after nine years of trying, failing, and still trying again. So, it is like a soothing ointment and justifies the dialogue that Farah ma’am had in the film.”
