The romantic drama Sanam Teri Kasam, starring Harshvardhan Rane and Mawra Hocane, has stunned the box office with its re-release, collecting ₹18.50 crore in just four days. The 2016 film, which originally struggled during its theatrical run, has now become the highest-grossing Bollywood re-release, surpassing new films like Badass Ravikumar and Loveyapa.
Strong Box Office Performance
Re-released on February 7, Sanam Teri Kasam saw an extraordinary response from audiences. According to Sacnilk, the film earned ₹3-3.25 crore on Monday alone, outshining the combined Monday total of Sky Force (₹0.45 crore), Deva (₹0.50 crore), Badass Ravikumar (₹0.60 crore), and Loveyapa (₹0.60 crore). With a total collection of ₹18.50 crore in four days—more than double its original domestic earnings—the film has solidified its unexpected comeback.
Bigger Than Competing Releases
Over the weekend, the film collected ₹15.50 crore net, making it the biggest Bollywood re-release to date. It even outperformed Badass Ravikumar (₹6.75 crore) and Loveyapa (₹5.15 crore), earning more than both films combined. Given the Valentine’s week sentiment, the film is expected to maintain its strong run at the box office.
Harshvardhan Rane Reacts to the Success
Speaking to Free Press Journal, lead actor Harshvardhan Rane shared his excitement:
“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.’ After nine years of trying, failing, and still trying again, this success feels like a soothing ointment.”
