The iconic romantic comedy-drama Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani, starring Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika Padukone, is set to make its way back to the big screen on January 3, 2025. The re-release, organized by PVR INOX, will span across 140 cinemas in 46 cities, offering fans an opportunity to relive the film’s magic. This announcement follows a cryptic post earlier this month from Karan Johar’s Dharma Productions, which led to speculation about a potential sequel.
The decision to bring back Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani comes after the successful re-release of Dharma Productions’ Kal Ho Naa Ho. It also follows a trend of other classic films like Tumbbad, Veer Zara, and Rehnaa Hai Terre Dil Mein returning to theatres in recent years, drawing nostalgic audiences.
Karan Johar, the film’s producer, shared his excitement, stating, “Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani holds a special place in the heart of Dharma Productions. Its music, stunning locations, and universal story resonate with all generations. It’s the perfect film to kick off the new year, leaving viewers with a warm, fuzzy feeling about life.”
Ayan Mukerji, the film’s director, reflected emotionally on the re-release, calling the movie “a part of my heart and soul.” He added, “Creating this film was one of the greatest joys of my life. Despite its imperfections, it remains a source of immense pride.”
Released in 2013, Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani is a beloved coming-of-age story that also stars Kalki Koechlin and Aditya Roy Kapur. Its chart-topping songs like Badtameez Dil, Balam Pichkari, and Dilliwaali Girlfriend contributed to its massive success. Over the years, the film has achieved cult status, and its re-release is expected to draw millennials and Gen Z alike to the theatres, reigniting the magic of its heartfelt narrative.
With the film’s return, audiences can start the new year by reliving their favorite moments and timeless dialogues on the silver screen.
