Sun Feb 09 09:49:38 UTC 2025: ## Box Office Surprise: “Sanam Teri Kasam” Re-Release Shatters Expectations
**MUMBAI** – The 2016 romantic drama “Sanam Teri Kasam,” starring Harshvardhan Rane and Mawra Hocane, has defied expectations with a stunningly successful re-release. The film, which initially underperformed, earned a surprising ₹9.50 crore (approximately $1.15 million USD) in its first two days back in theaters, surpassing its original lifetime box office collection of ₹9 crore.
This weekend’s resurgence follows a February 7th re-release with minimal pre-release hype. Despite competing with other re-releases, including Christopher Nolan’s “Interstellar,” “Sanam Teri Kasam” took the number one spot on Friday, opening with over ₹4.25 crore – more than triple its original opening day gross. Saturday saw a further 15% increase in earnings, bringing the two-day total to ₹9.50 crore. Industry tracker Sacnilk predicts the film’s opening weekend could reach ₹15 crore.
The film’s unexpected success is attributed to its significant popularity on television in the years since its initial release. “Sanam Teri Kasam,” a tragic love story following the relationship between a traditional girl and a troubled young man, has clearly resonated with audiences once again.
