This year has seen a number of old successful and a few not-so-successful films re-releasing in theatres. Surprisingly, quite a few of these films have also seen good footfalls from the audience despite the fact that these films are easily available either on OTT or television or both. Filmmaker Rakesh Roshan’s iconic Karan Arjun is the latest old film to re-release in cinemas.

The Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, Kajol, Rakhee Gulzar and Amrish Puri starrer has managed a good number of Rs. 60 lakhs in the first week of its re-release. The number can be considered impressive considering the lesser number of screens the re-released films receive.

To break down the number, Karan Arjun has earned Rs. 31,99,493 in PVR Inox and Rs 6,96,818 in Cinepolis. The total comes down to Rs. 38,96,311. The movie has made the rest of the amount from other cinema chains.

Karan Arjun is the story of reincarnation. Karan (Salman) and Arjun (Shah Rukh) are brothers living in a village with their mother (Rakhee). They get killed by their extended family’s evil forces, headed by Thakur Durjan Singh (Puri), for their selfish motives. The mother is sure that her dead sons will return despite she becoming a laughing stock. However, Karan and Arjun take rebirth and avenge their own death by killing Durjan and his men.
