In the aftermath of the lockdown, movie theatres have shifted their attention back to making audiences feel immersed and to fostering community engagement. A large portion of the public's positive reaction to the re-release of several great films in recent years has been attributable to the communal nature of watching these films.

Even after nearly 11 years since its original release, Ayan Mukerji's ‘Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani’ continues to draw audiences to theatres in large numbers. 

Other Movies Re-releasing in Theatre 

In addition to ‘Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani’, other romantic hits like ‘Jab We Met’, ‘Veer Zara’, and ‘Mohabbatein’ have also made their way back to the big screen ahead of Valentine's Day 2024, catering to the romantic sentiments of moviegoers.

There have been several re-releases of regional films in addition to Hindi blockbusters. Punjabi films such as ‘Dil Diya Gallan’, ‘Qismat’, and ‘Angrej’ are among the major titles.
