BREAKING: Akshay Kumar's Mohra to CLASH with Ranbir Kapoor-Yash's Ramayana this Diwali; Gupt, Tridev, Yudh and Vidhaata re-releases also planned

The trend of re-releases began in 2024, a year when films like Rockstar (2011), Laila Majnu (2018), Tumbbad (2018), etc. did huge business in their second innings. Meanwhile, in 2025, Sanam Teri Kasam (2016) re-released and stunned the trade by collecting more than Rs. 40 crores, thus emerging as the biggest re-release success of all time. The trend has since died down, though last month, Avengers Endgame: Encore managed to put up impressive numbers. And now, one more classic is all set to return to cinemas – Mohra (1994)! Yesterday, Trimurti Films Pvt Ltd, the production house behind Mohra, uploaded a video on its YouTube channel confirming the film's re-release. Interestingly, the action entertainer will return to cinemas on November 6, during Diwali week. In other words, Mohra will clash with the much-awaited Ramayana, starring Ranbir Kapoor, Yash, Sai Pallavi and others. Mohra will be re-released by Deepinder Singh's Rimpy Films International in a 4K remastered version. Th...
