EXCLUSIVE: Trade and exhibitors DEMAND re-release of Tere Naam: “It is a CULT film; if it re-releases, it can do WONDERS”; producer of Salman Khan-starrer BREAKS silence on re-release plans

en Bollywood News EXCLUSIVE: Trade and exhibitors DEMAND re-release of Tere Naam: “It is a CULT film; if it re-releases, it can do WONDERS”; producer of Salman Khan-starrer BREAKS silence on re-release plans

The cult film Tere Naam (2003) completed 21 years on August 15. It starred Salman Khan and Bhumika Chawla and is remembered today for Salman’s cool hairdo, intense moments, heartbreaking climax and unforgettable songs. 2024 is the year of re-releases and there’s a demand that Tere Naam should arrive once again in cinemas.

EXCLUSIVE: Trade and exhibitors DEMAND re-release of Tere Naam: “It is a CULT film; if it re-releases, it can do WONDERS”; producer of Salman Khan-starrer BREAKS silence on re-release plans

In today’s times, viewers have loved Kabir Singh (2019) and Animal (2023). Tere Naam was the OG film in this zone. Moreover, films with hit music have a chance to score in cinemas. There’s also a generation which was not born or missed out on watching the film in cinemas (it was a semi-hit in cinemas and later, achieved legendary status). As a result, Tere Naam can surprise big time if it re-releases. We spoke to trade experts to understand their views on this aspect.

Trade veteran Taran Adarsh said, “I don’t know why Tere Naam never got that kind of appreciation. Maybe Salman’s craze wasn’t as huge as it is now. If the film was released in the present day or had been released even a few years ago, people would have gone crazy.” He also jokingly remarked, “The film is alive even because of memes.”

Trade analyst Atul Mohan explained, “The audience that liked Kabir Singh and Animal would love Tere Naam. Bhai yeh sab filmein pehle hi kar chuke hai!” He also stated, “The first thing that often comes to mind when someone says Tere Naam is the hairstyle by Salman.”

Film exhibitor and distributor Akshaye Rathi agreed saying, “Tere Naam is a cult film. I remember so many youngsters across the country sporting Salman Khan’s hairstyle! It is truly a hallmark of a movie and a star which has resonated in a huge way. If it does re-release with the correct campaign, there’s a lot that can happen.”

Distributor and exhibitor Raj Bansal explained, “If it re-releases, it can do wonders. There are certain films that did not fare well at the box office. But those films were well made and hence, they are in demand.”

Girish Johar, producer and film business analyst, in agreement, stated, “Tere Naam has fantastic music and it was a one of its kind love story at that point in time. I think it has a good chance to do well on its re-release.”

Producer breaks silence
Bollywood Hungama exclusively reached out to producer Sunil Manchanda and asked him if there’s any chance that Tere Naam might be re-released. He said, “We haven’t discussed it yet but we could look at the possibilities. We’d have to study the market and see if it’s worth giving it another round in cinemas and then take it from there.”

When remarked that Tere Naam is a film that continues to remain popular, he remarked, “I constantly get that. The demand, however, is more for the sequel rather than a re-release (laughs)! There’s very little chance of a sequel. The film is 21 years old, after all.”

The writer pointed out that if Gadar 2 can arrive 22 years after the first part and Border 2 can arrive nearly 29 years later, then why not Tere Naam 2 in today’s era? Sunil Manchanda smiled and signed off by saying, “It’s food for thought!”
