The iconic Ye Jawaani Hai Deewani (YJHD) has returned to theatres and is once again proving why it’s so beloved. Originally released in 2013, the Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika Padukone starrer is making waves with its re-release surpassing new films and breaking records for Hindi movie re-releases.
Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani Re-Release Sells 26000 Tickets In Pre-Sales
YJHD sold an impressive 26,000 tickets in advance bookings for its first day at major chains like PVR, Inox, and Cinepolis. This figure outpaced recent releases such as Munjya and Yodha, both at 23,000 and left others like Srikanth (15,000) and Sarfira (8,000) far behind. It also topped the 21,000 pre-sales achieved by Sohum Shah‘s Tumbbad during its re-release last year.
| Film Title | Advance Booking Tickets |
|---|---|
| Ye Jawaani Hai Deewani (Re-release) | 26,000 |
| Munjya | 23,000 |
| Yodha | 23,000 |
| Tumbbad (Re-release) | 21,000 |
| Srikanth | 15,000 |
| Merry Christmas | 10,000 |
| Sarfira | 8,000 |
| Auron Mein Kahan Dum Tha | 7,000 |
| The Buckingham Murders | 6,500 |
| Hindustani 2 | 4,000 |
| Ulajh | 3,500 |
| Kill | 1,000 |
The buzz around the movie is undeniable. Early estimates suggest an opening of Rs 3 crore net, which would mark the highest opening for a re-released Hindi film. Many in the industry are now wondering if YJHD can beat the Rs 38 crore gross record set by Tumbbad during its second run.
No Competition From New Releases Till Jan 10
The timing for this re-release is perfect. With no major box office competition until January 10, when Ram Charan’s Game Changer hits screens, YJHD has plenty of time to shine.
Nostalgia-driven marketing by Dharma Productions has reignited excitement among loyal fans while also drawing in new viewers. Social media is buzzing with fond memories of Bunny, Naina, Avi, and Aditi, characters that still resonate after ten years.
The film’s stellar cast, including Aditya Roy Kapur and Kalki Koechlin, has only grown in popularity over the years. Fans are thrilled to see their memorable performances back on the big screen.
Ayan Mukerji’s direction and Pritam’s unforgettable music have ensured that YJHD remains a timeless masterpiece. Songs like “Kabira” and “Balam Pichkari” are still fan favourites, making the re-release a magical experience for audiences old and new.
