Laila Majnu Re-Release Box Office: Triptii Dimri & Avinash Tiwary film poised to make history – Find out how
Imtiaz Ali collaborated with Ekta Kapoor in 2018 to bring the romantic tale of Laila Majnu to the big screen, starring Avinash Tiwary and Triptii Dimri. Despite initial box office failure, the film gained a following on digital platforms over the years. Fast forward to 2024, after the successful re-release of Rockstar, Imtiaz Ali decided to partner with national chains for the re-release of Laila Majnu.
The film received a positive response when it first premiered in a cinema hall in Kashmir, leading to an expanded release in multiplexes across India. Surprisingly, 6 years after its original release, Laila Majnu is attracting audiences to the big screen. On August 10, the film opened with Rs 30 Lakh and saw a 110 percent increase to Rs 70 Lakh on Saturday.
The total collection for this Avinash Tiwary and Triptii Dimri starrer reached Rs 1.00 crore in just two days, with expectations of a strong third day performance. The re-release weekend is projected to surpass the original 3-day box office earnings in 2018, with an estimated total of Rs 2.00 crore. Historically, Laila Majnu may become the first Hindi film to outperform its original release in a re-release.
As the film continues its successful run, surpassing the lifetime earnings of its original release is anticipated before the arrival of Independence Day releases on August 15. Despite a possible decline in screenings in the following week, the film’s initial response suggests a potential return to cinema halls once the hype around other major releases subsides.
