Ranbir Kapoor’s Rockstar enjoy unprecedented success in theatres with re-release

Imtiaz Ali's Rockstar, starring Ranbir Kapoor and Nargis Fakhri, has become an unstoppable force at the box office since its re-release, spending exactly a month in Indian theatres. Collections have been rising every week, demonstrating the film's enduring appeal. After netting Rs 1.23 crores in its third week, Rockstar collected an impressive Rs 2.16 crores in its fourth week. Surprisingly, week five is on track to be the biggest week yet, with Rs 1.16 crores already collected over the fifth weekend.

Originally released in 2011, Rockstar was a semi-hit in India, netting just under Rs 70 crores domestically and grossing nearly Rs 110 crores worldwide. Over time, the film has developed a cult status, and its re-release success is a testament to its lasting impact on audiences. The current trend in theatres is unprecedented for any modern release, turning the re-release of Rockstar into a must-see event for today's youth.

Rockstar is now heading towards an India nett total of Rs 75 crores, with the worldwide gross surpassing Rs 115 crores. The film's remarkable performance has sparked discussions about a potential sequel. The story of Janardhan, who aspires to be a rockstar and believes that every rockstar must endure heartbreak or tragedy, resonates deeply with viewers. His journey with Heer Kaur, the most eligible girl on campus, and the ensuing heartbreak that leads to his self-destruction, continues to captivate audiences.

Rockstar is currently playing at select theatres across India. Fans of the film and newcomers alike are flocking to experience its powerful narrative and iconic music on the big screen.
