Box Office: 'Sanam Teri Kasam' And 'Interstellar' Re-Release Third Day Collection

Mumbai, February 9 - The 9-year-old romantic drama Sanam Teri Kasam has had a blockbuster opening weekend upon its re-release and has already become one of the biggest Bollywood repeat grosser at the domestic box office.

The Harshvardhan Rane and Mawra Hocane-fronted movie was a dull affair in its original run, earning just 9 crores net collection in its lifetime run, but it got its due when the film was re-released on February 7 despite almost zero promotions.



It scored approximately 4.25+ crores net collection on the first day of re-issue, followed by a fantastic 5.25 crores net on Saturday. The movie showed a further jump on Sunday and minted approximately 6-6.25 crores net, for 15.50 crores net opening weekend which is more than +170% of its lifetime original collection.

Sanam Teri Kasam was easily the biggest Bollywood movie this weekend despite a few new releases. The audience loves the film and the trade is stunned seeing the Housefull boards for an old movie. It is certain to do well in the coming days and sure to benefit during the Valentine's Day week.

Christopher Nolan's epic sci-fi adventure Interstellar was one more big gainer this weekend, continuing to bring good fortune for re-release titles at the Indian box office. The cult classic was re-launched this weekend and the moviegoers didn't disappoint with superb response at the ticket window.



After scoring approximately 2.40 crores net on the first day, the film followed it up with over 3.25 crores net on Saturday and another 3.25+ crores net collection on Sunday to close the opening weekend at around 9 crores for the film. With this, it has crossed 50 crores gross collection in India, including its original run.

Interstellar will have a limited 7-day run in theatres and it will look to score around 15 crores net in it which is a good total for a Hollywood re-release title.
