In a bid to celebrate the love for films, movie tickets across the country will be available for just ?99, making it an unmissable opportunity for audiences to revisit the magic of classic cinema on the big screen. Adding to the excitement, two iconic films, Hum Aapke Hain Koun and Laila Majnu, are all set to re-release in theatres, offering a unique cinematic experience that blends nostalgia with timeless storytelling.

A Tribute to 30 Years of ‘Hum Aapke Hain Koun’

One of the most beloved films in Indian cinema, Hum Aapke Hain Koun (HAHK), is making a grand comeback to theatres as it celebrates 30 years since its original release. Directed by Sooraj R. Barjatya and produced by Rajshri Productions, this 1994 classic starring Salman Khan and Madhuri Dixit became a cultural phenomenon that redefined Bollywood’s approach to family entertainment. The film, with its heartwarming portrayal of love, family values, and the joy of togetherness, struck a chord with audiences and set a benchmark for future family dramas.

To commemorate this milestone, Rajshri Films has announced a special re-release of HAHK in selected Cinepolis theaters across India. The film will be presented in a digitally remastered format, allowing both loyal fans and new audiences to experience its magic on the big screen. This re-release is a nostalgic treat for those who grew up watching the film and a wonderful introduction for younger viewers who may have only seen it on television or streaming platforms.

‘Laila Majnu’ Returns by Popular Demand

Another gem returning to cinemas on Cinema Lovers' Day is Laila Majnu, a film that, despite its initial lukewarm reception at the box office, has garnered a cult following after its release on OTT platforms. Directed by Sajid Ali and produced by Ekta Kapoor, the film stars Triptii Dimri and Avinash Tiwary as the modern-day Laila and Qais, whose love story is set against the picturesque backdrop of Kashmir. The film, released six years ago, is a poignant exploration of love and loss, marked by a passionate yet tragic romance that resonates deeply with its audience.

Ekta Kapoor expressed her gratitude to fans for their unwavering support, which has led to the film’s re-release. She shared the excitement on social media, highlighting the overwhelming demand that brought Laila Majnu back to theatres. This re-release not only celebrates the film's journey from a box office underdog to a beloved classic but also gives audiences another chance to experience its beautiful storytelling and soulful music in a theatrical setting.

Cinema Lovers' Day is more than just a day of discounted tickets; it’s a celebration of the magic of movies, the joy of storytelling, and the power of cinema to connect generations. With Hum Aapke Hain Koun and Laila Majnu returning to the big screen, August 9, 2024, promises to be a day of nostalgia, romance, and timeless entertainment.
