Sanam Teri Kasam Re-Release Box Office Collection: The ‘Flop’ Film of 2016 Sets a New Record
Sometimes, the box office delivers shocking results that no one expects. This time, something similar happened when the 2016 film ‘Sanam Teri Kasam’, once considered a flop, made a historic comeback with its re-release, earning impressive numbers. Meanwhile, newly released films like Himesh Reshammiya’s ‘Badass Ravikumar’ and the romantic drama ‘LuvYaPa’ failed to draw audiences to theaters. When ‘Sanam Teri Kasam’ was originally released, it didn’t achieve the expected success, but over time, its emotional storyline and soulful songs found a special place in viewers’ hearts. Now, with its re-release, it has not only received an overwhelming response but also significantly affected the earnings of new films.
While audiences had high expectations from Himesh Reshammiya’s action-packed ‘Badass Ravikumar’ and ‘LuvYaPa’ was introduced as a fresh romantic film, neither managed to attract viewers to theaters. On its second re-release day, ‘Sanam Teri Kasam’ earned a remarkable ₹5-6 crore, whereas ‘Badass Ravikumar’ could only collect ₹2-3 crore, and ‘LuvYaPa’ trailed behind with just ₹1-2 crore.
The key factors behind this surprising shift in audience preference include the nostalgia factor, an evergreen soundtrack, and the social media buzz around the film’s re-release. The songs of ‘Sanam Teri Kasam’ still remain popular among millions, which explains why fans didn’t miss the chance to experience it again on the big screen. On the other hand, ‘Badass Ravikumar’ was rejected due to its over-the-top action and weak storyline, whereas ‘LuvYaPa’ suffered from a lack of strong star power and an unimpressive soundtrack.
While ‘Sanam Teri Kasam’ proves that great films never truly fade, the failure of ‘Badass Ravikumar’ and ‘LuvYaPa’ highlights that star power and new concepts alone do not guarantee success. Now, the question remains: Will ‘Sanam Teri Kasam’ continue breaking records in the coming days, or will the new releases get a chance to recover?
For now, one thing is clear—films that connect with the audience’s emotions and love never truly flop; they just need the right moment for a comeback!
