Love Doesn’t Come with an Expiration Date
The beloved 2016 romantic drama Sanam Teri Kasam has achieved an extraordinary milestone, becoming the first-ever re-released film to surpass ₹50 crore at the box office. Initially having a modest theatrical run, the film has now made an incredible comeback, proving that true love and audience devotion never truly fade.
A Remarkable Box Office Resurgence
Starring Harshvardhan Rane and Mawra Hocane, the emotional saga has now outperformed Tumbbad, which previously held the record for the highest earnings among re-released films. While the Sohum Shah-led Tumbbad had amassed ₹32 crore in India, Sanam Teri Kasam continues to draw crowds, edging closer to the ₹53 crore mark and maintaining its strong momentum.
Box Office Storm: Re-Release Success
According to industry tracker Sacnilk, Sanam Teri Kasam has taken the box office by storm in its second theatrical run, collecting over ₹32 crore net within just 16 days. This unexpected resurgence has also pushed its global revenue beyond ₹50 crore, combining both its initial and re-release earnings.
The Film’s Initial Journey
When Sanam Teri Kasam first premiered in 2016, it may not have shattered records, but it left a lasting impression. The film garnered ₹9.11 crore in India and ₹16.03 crore worldwide—an impressive feat given its modest ₹5 crore production budget. While it didn’t enter the elite ₹50 crore or ₹100 crore club back then, its deeply moving storyline and mesmerizing soundtrack gradually helped it cultivate a devoted fan following.
A Second Chance to Shine
No one anticipated that a re-release of Sanam Teri Kasam would create such a historic moment at the box office, but here we are, witnessing it rewrite history!
At its heart, Sanam Teri Kasam is a deeply emotional love story between Inder, a rebellious ex-convict, and Saru, a conservative librarian, whose romance takes a tragic turn. With breathtaking visuals captured by cinematographer Chirantan Das and a soul-stirring soundtrack composed by Himesh Reshammiya, the film resonated with audiences despite its initial commercial struggles.
Originally released on February 5, 2016, under Eros International, the film received mixed reviews and didn’t perform exceptionally well. However, its re-release on February 7, 2025, changed everything, turning it into an unexpected blockbuster. This success proves that some films just need a second chance to truly shine!
