SHOCKING: Madness in Ratlam as fans storm theatre expecting Sanam Teri Kasam 2, only to realize the 2016 film has re-released; confront theatre owner

A local source told us that word spread in the town that Sanam Teri Kasam 2 was released in cinemas and not Sanam Teri Kasam. As a result, the morning show at Gayatri Cinemas, Ratlam had a huge turnout.

The source told Bollywood Hungama, “Some months ago, the sequel to Sanam Teri Kasam was announced. Hence, many people assumed that the second part had been released and they immediately booked tickets. But when the film started, they realized that it’s the first part which is playing on the screen and not the sequel that they expected.”

The source continued, “Nevertheless, they saw the whole film but after the show, they complained to the owner about it. The poor owner was shocked with their grouse. He made it clear that he was not to blame as he never publicized that he was releasing the sequel in his cinemas. The angry moviegoers also understood his plight and then left.”

The source then said, “Soon, Ratlam residents learned the truth that the 9-year-old Sanam Teri Kasam is back in cinemas and not its second part. As a result, the occupancy in the evening and night shows was not much.”

“An isolated incident”

But the trade and exhibition sources make it clear that this was an exception. A trade source commented, “This is a very shocking incident and also an isolated one. Across the country, viewers are very much aware that Sanam Teri Kasam has been re-released. They are buying tickets knowing that they’ll get to see the 2016 film and not the sequel.”
