The re-release era is going on in full force and films of various genres are coming back on the big screen. Most of the re-releases are not getting the desired response. Yet, the trend continues, more so after the surprise success of films like Rockstar, Laila Majnu, Tumbbad, Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani and above all, Sanam Teri Kasam, which is the highest re-release grosser. Now, it has come to light that one more film is getting ready to be back in cinemas – Hunterrr (2015).
A source told Bollywood Hungama, “Hunterrr will complete 10 years on March 20. The film has a recall value due to its subject, sex scenes, performances and ensemble cast. Hence, the makers are planning to re-release the film on this joyous occasion.”
The source continued, “Once the plan is confirmed, the makers will look for an apt release date. It now remains to be seen if it arrives this Friday – March 20 – or on a later date.”
An industry insider commented, “Until now, family-friendly films have mainly got a re-release. Very few ‘A’ rated films have had a re-run like Sarfarosh, Satya, Gangs Of Wasseypur, Ghulam, etc. Moreover, Hunterrr stands out from these adult films as it’s a sex comedy. In fact, this genre hasn’t produced any significant film in a long time and there’s an audience for it. Hence, it won’t be a surprise if Hunterrr also becomes a sleeper re-release success.”
Hunterrr starred Gulshan Devaiah, Radhika Apte, Sai Tamhankar and Veera Saxena and was about a sex addict man and his various adventures. It was directed by Harshvardhan Kulkarni, who later made Badhaai Do (2022).
Meanwhile, this Friday saw the re-release of memorable Aamir Khan films like 3 Idiots, Akele Hum Akele Tum, Dangal, Dhoom 3, Dil, Dil Chahta Hai, Fanaa, Ghajini, Ghulam, Hum Hain Rahi Pyaar Ke, Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar, Laal Singh Chaddha, Lagaan, PK, Raja Hindustani, Rang De Basanti, Sarfarosh, Taare Zameen Par, Talaash etc. The Aamir Khan film festival has been held to celebrate the superstar’s 60th birthday. Next week will see the re-release of Yaariyan (2014). Half Girlfriend (2017) is expected to be released in April. Awarapan (2007) and Aashiqui 2 (2013) are also in the queue to arrive in cinemas again. Bollywood Hungama broke the news a few days back that Sanjay Dutt-starrer Jung (2000) will re-release on May 9 to coincide with its 25th anniversary.
