As we currently witness the trend of re-releasing cult classic films, we know it has risen in India due to several factors. One major factor out of several of those is fans getting to witness their favourite classics once again or probably the first time on the big screen. Though many films benefitted from these, several of them failed to enjoy these benefits too. Let’s remember the top 6 highest grossing re-released films in Indian theatres:
1. Sanam Teri Kasam Re-release
Sanam Teri Kasam, the recent blockbuster re-release became the talk of the town without any heavy marketing, favouring from just its goodwill over the years. This Harshvardhan Rane and Mawra Hocane starrer is the highest grossing re-released Indian movie ever in the re release movies list.
India Gross – ₹41 crores
2. Tumbbad Re-release
Another film which enjoyed its goodwill the most during its recent re-release is the horror thriller Tumbbad. This Sohum Shah starrer earned almost 3 times more than its initial run, and became the 2nd highest grossing Indian re-release ever.
India Gross – ₹38 crores
