Sanam Teri Kasam box office day 1 collection: Beats Interstellar in an historic opening for a re-release in India

Sanam Teri Kasam Box Office Day 1 Collection: The Indian box office is experiencing an intense and competitive week with multiple releases vying for success. Among them are two fresh releases, two re-releases, and three high-profile films, including a Christopher Nolan directorial, an Akshay Kumar starrer, a Sanjay Leela Bhansali film, and Himesh Reshammiya’s much-anticipated comeback. However, the movie that has surprisingly won the race on opening day is none other than Sanam Teri Kasam, starring Harshvardhan Rane and Mawra Hocane, which has re-released in Indian cinemas.

Sanam Teri Kasam Box Office Day 1

Originally released in 2016, Sanam Teri Kasam, directed by Vinay Sapru and Radhika Rao, has now returned to the big screen. The film has managed to surpass Christopher Nolan’s Interstellar in terms of box office earnings in India on its re-release. According to Sacnilk, Sanam Teri Kasam collected approximately ₹4.25-₹4.50 crore on its first day back in theaters.

In comparison, Interstellar earned ₹2.50 crore nett and ₹3 crore gross on its re-release debut. This means Sanam Teri Kasam nearly doubled the earnings of Nolan’s film. Upon its original release, the movie had opened to ₹1.25 crore and achieved a lifetime collection of ₹9 crore. If this momentum continues, the film could surpass its original lifetime earnings in just a few days.

The Sanam Teri Kasam Misunderstanding

A bizarre misunderstanding occurred in Ratlam regarding the film’s re-release. A few months ago, rumors about a Sanam Teri Kasam 2 began circulating, sparking excitement among fans. When posters for the re-release appeared at theaters, many assumed it was a sequel.

A source revealed, “Fans eagerly rushed to the cinema expecting Sanam Teri Kasam 2. However, when the film started, they realized it was the same 2016 movie, which left them disappointed. Despite this, they watched the entire film but later complained to the theater owner.”

The theater owner clarified that he never advertised a sequel. Upon understanding the situation, the audience left without further complaints. However, the initial confusion led to lower occupancy in the evening and night shows.
