In recent times, there has been a trend of re-releasing old hit films in theatres. The goal is to bring back audiences and give them a taste of cinematic classics on the big screen once again. Popular films like ‘Rehna Hai Tere Dil Mein’, ‘Laila Majnu’, ‘Love Aaj Kal’, and ‘Rockstar’ have already made a successful return. Now, Subhash Ghai’s film ‘Taal’ has been added to this list. This musical drama is set to be re-released in theatres on 27 September 2024, marking its 25th anniversary.
The Success of ‘Taal’ at the Box Office in 1999
When ‘Taal’ was originally released in 1999, it became an instant hit. Starring Aishwarya Rai, Anil Kapoor, and Akshaye Khanna, the movie earned Rs 22.16 crore in India and Rs 50.07 crore worldwide. The film ran in theatres for 70 days and is still remembered for its soulful music by A.R. Rahman. With the trend of re-released films doing well at the box office, there’s a strong expectation that ‘Taal’ will also perform well.
