Mon Feb 10 09:36:11 UTC 2025: ## Flop Turns to Blockbuster: 2016 Film “Sanam Teri Kasam” Shatters Box Office Records on Re-Release
**Mumbai, India** – The 2016 romantic drama “Sanam Teri Kasam,” starring Harshvardhan Rane, has defied expectations, achieving phenomenal success on its recent re-release. The film, which originally underperformed at the box office, has generated significantly more revenue in its second outing.
While the initial weekend of its 2016 release yielded a meager ₹4.66 crore (approximately $560,000 USD), the re-release has already tripled that amount within its first three days, raking in a remarkable ₹15 crore (approximately $1.8 million USD). This impressive figure has overshadowed the simultaneous releases of “Badass Ravi Kumar” and “Loveyatri,” leaving them significantly behind.
“Sanam Teri Kasam’s” initial lifetime collection in 2016 was ₹8.3 crore (approximately $1 million USD). The film’s re-release saw a remarkable ₹9 crore (approximately $1.1 million USD) earned within just two days, with ₹4 crore on its opening day and ₹5 crore on Saturday. Sunday’s earnings pushed the three-day weekend total to ₹15 crore, surprising both makers and stars.
In contrast, the new releases have struggled to keep pace. Himmesh Reshammiya’s “Badass Ravi Kumar” earned ₹6.15 crore (approximately $740,000 USD) over its opening weekend, while “Loveyatri,” starring Junaid Khan and Khushi Kapoor, managed only ₹4.45 crore (approximately $535,000 USD) despite positive reviews.
The unexpected triumph of “Sanam Teri Kasam’s” re-release highlights the unpredictable nature of the box office and the power of nostalgia. The film’s continued success will be closely watched in the coming weeks.
