Twenty-five years back filmmaker Rakesh Roshan introduced his son, Hrithik Roshan, into the film industry , and the actor swiftly gained fame with his debut film, Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai, which also starred newcomer Ameesha Patel.
The film made Hritik an overnight sensation. Even today, his film is quite fresh in the minds of his fans.
Now, the team behind this iconic film is set to re-release it in theaters, sparking excitement about whether Rakesh Roshan’s direction will result in another successful box office hit.
Following the successful re-release of Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani, the focus is now on Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai. Upon its original release in 2000, the film became the highest-grossing Hindi film of the year, raking in an impressive Rs 74.25 crore in India.
According to a recent media report, Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai is set to return to theaters on January 10, 2025, coinciding with Hrithik’s 51st birthday, making it a double celebration.
The timing of the re-release is expected to enhance its box office performance, particularly for Hrithik fans who either missed the film in theaters or were born after its initial release, providing them an opportunity to experience his debut on the big screen.
The box office performance of re-released films can be unpredictable. While some films, like Avinash Tiwary and Tripti Dimri’s Laila Majnu, flopped initially but found success upon re-release, others, like Karan Arjun, did not replicate their original success.
Nostalgic films such as Kal Ho Naa Ho and Veer Zaara saw successful re-releases in 2024, further highlighting the varied outcomes of such ventures. Regardless of its box office fate, the legacy of Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai will undoubtedly endure for years to come.
