Veer-Zaara, the beloved romantic drama directed by Yash Chopra and featuring Shah Rukh Khan and Preity Zinta, has officially crossed the significant milestone of Rs 100 crore at the global box office. This achievement comes after several successful re-releases of the film, which first hit theaters in November 2004.
Originally released on November 12, 2004, Veer-Zaara tells a poignant cross-border love story that resonated with audiences worldwide.Despite facing stiff competition during its initial release, it emerged as the highest-grossing Indian film of that year, both in India and internationally. The film grossed approximately Rs 98 crore globally in its original run, with about Rs 61 crore coming from India and Rs 37 crore from overseas markets. As per Pinkvilla, over the subsequent years, from 2005 to 2023, the film added Rs 2.50 crore through various re-releases. In February 2023, it garnered an additional Rs 30 lakh during a brief re-release. Most recently, in September 2024, the film collected Rs 1.45 crore in just five days of its re-release. As of September 17, 2024, Veer-Zaara’s total worldwide box office collection stands at an impressive Rs 102.25 crore, adding to its box office success story.
Given the steady weekday collections, Veer-Zaara is expected to remain in theaters for at least another week. The upcoming National Cinema Day, with tickets priced at just Rs 99, will also most likely boost attendance for this YRF classic.
This resurgence in interest for Veer-Zaara reflects a broader trend in Indian cinema where older films are being celebrated anew. Recent successes of other films like Laila Majnu, Rehnaa Hai Terre Dil Mein, Rockstar, and others have sparked a wave of nostalgia among audiences, leading to increased footfalls in theaters for previously released films.
