In a nostalgic treat for Bollywood fans, Yash Raj Films is set to bring the beloved romantic comedy 'Band Baaja Baaraat' back to the big screen. The film, which marked the spectacular debut of Ranveer Singh opposite Anushka Sharma, will be re-released in theatres across India on January 16.
A Nostalgic Trip Back to 2010
The re-release aims to connect today's audience with the charm and energy of the 2010 hit. Directed by Maneesh Sharma, the film originally premiered on December 10, 2010, and quickly became one of the defining Hindi movies of its decade. It masterfully blended commercial appeal with authentic, grounded storytelling.
Set against the vibrant and chaotic backdrop of Delhi's wedding industry, the plot is a sparkling tale of ambition, friendship, and love. It follows two young entrepreneurs who start their own wedding planning business with limited funds. The narrative beautifully captures their struggle to balance family expectations, career ambitions, and personal relationships during the capital's hectic wedding season.
Why The Film Remains a Timeless Classic
According to the filmmakers, the movie's enduring appeal lies in its relatable core themes. In a statement, director Maneesh Sharma revealed the film's humble origins. "I had read a magazine piece about young Indian entrepreneurs, and something stayed with me—people with limited resources still stepping out, taking risks, and trying to build something of their own, even on a small scale," he shared. "That became the seed of the story."
Sharma believes the film has taken on a life of its own, resonating with viewers across different ages and geographies. "I am really looking forward to seeing people loving our film that was made with a lot of heart again on the big screen," he added.
Producer Niharika Bijli echoed this sentiment, describing 'Band Baaja Baaraat' as one of those rare films that never fades. "It remains fun and immensely relatable, no matter when—or with whom—you watch it," she stated. She framed the re-release as a homage to modern storytelling that continues to captivate audiences through its genuine portrayal of friendship, love, and ambition, brought alive by memorable songs, authentic comedy, and natural performances.
What Audiences Can Expect
The re-release offers a new generation a chance to experience the magic of Ranveer Singh's breakthrough performance and his crackling chemistry with Anushka Sharma on cinema screens. For those who saw it originally, it's an opportunity to relive the nostalgia of a film that captured the spirit of a new, aspirational India.
The return of 'Band Baaja Baaraat' to theatres is more than just a re-run; it's a celebration of a film that defined an era of Bollywood with its fresh energy and unpolished charm. Mark your calendars for January 16 to witness this slice of cinematic joy once again.
