Amidst Dhurandhar success, Ranveer Singh’s debut Band Baaja Baaraat to re-release in theatres

PVR INOX is set to re-release Yash Raj Films' Band Baaja Baaraat, featuring Ranveer Singh and Anushka Sharma, on January 16.

This comes at a time when Ranveer's Dhurandhar has turned out to be a roaring success, with worldwide collections mounting over Rs 1100 crore.

Directed by Maneesh Sharma, the film, which marked Ranveer’s acting debut, originally released on December 10, 2010. It revolves around "sparkling story of ambition, love, and friendship, set against the vibrant world of Delhi weddings," according to a press release.

The filmmaker said the film was born from a "very simple idea". "I had read a magazine piece about young Indian entrepreneurs, and something stayed with me. People with limited resources still stepping out, taking risks, and trying to build something of their own, even on a small scale," he said in a statement.

"That became the seed of the story. It eventually grew into a film about love, friendship, and ambition; authentic, messy, and deeply rooted in the streets we know. Over the years, the film has found a life of its own with audiences across generations, geographies, and different moments in their lives. I am really looking forward to see people loving our film that was made with a lot of heart again on the big screen,” he added.

Niharika Bijli, lead strategist of PVR INOX called Band Baaja Baaraat one of the rare "films that never loses its charm". "It remains fun and immensely relatable, no matter when or with whom you watch it. Re-releasing the film is our way of celebrating modern storytelling that continues to resonate across generations. With its timeless music, sharp humour, and deeply lived-in performances, the film captures the spirit of friendship, love, ambition, and life just as it is. We're excited to bring it back for a new generation to discover its magic on the big screen," she added.

The film originally released in 2010 and was a hit at the box office.
