Good news for fans of SS Rajamouli’s record-breaking epic, RRR! With a dearth of new releases on the horizon, the movie is returning to theatres in a strategic re-release.
The Hindi distributor, Pen Movies, announced the news on May 6th, confirming that RRR will hit the big screen again on May 10th, 2024. This time, audiences can enjoy the film in its original Telugu language and the popular Hindi dubbed version. This begs the question: can this re-release propel the movie to even greater heights and perhaps a new box office record?
While some might see this as a strategic move to capitalize on a slow period for new releases, RRR’s continued popularity and box office dominance in Japan suggest the film has more to offer than just a temporary boost for cinemas.
Here’s why RRR’s box office journey is far from over:
Japan’s Enduring Love For RRR:
Despite releasing in October 2022, RRR continues to draw audiences in Japan. With over 130 crores grossed in 561 days, it’s poised to add more before its theatrical run concludes.
Worldwide Box Office Collections Of RRR, Nearing a Milestone:
RRR’s worldwide collection currently sits at an impressive 1271.30 crores gross. It needs just 29 crores to reach the coveted 1300 crore mark.
RRR’s Re-Releases Keep the Momentum Going:
The upcoming re-release in India in Telugu and Hindi version taps into the film’s enduring popularity. This strategy has proven successful in the past, ensuring a steady stream of revenue.
RRR’s China Release:
A potential release in China, the world’s largest film market, could significantly boost RRR’s global haul and push it past the 1300 crore mark.
For those unfamiliar with the phenomenon, here’s a quick rundown of RRR:
Directed by: The visionary S. S. Rajamouli, known for epic films like the Baahubali franchise.
Star Cast: The film boasts a powerhouse cast including Telugu superstars N.T. Rama Rao Jr. and Ram Charan alongside Alia Bhatt, Ajay Devgn and Shriya Saran.
Plot: RRR is a fictionalized account of two real-life Indian revolutionaries, Alluri Sitarama Raju and Komaram Bheem, who fight against British rule in the 1920s. The story explores their camaraderie and their fight for independence.
Will RRR Break & Make New Box Office Record?
While predicting an exact box office performance is difficult, the re-release on May 10 and Japan’s continued success suggest RRR’s journey is far from over. It has a high possibility of shattering all-time records and has a strong chance of achieving the 1300 crore milestone – a remarkable feat in itself.
RRR’s box office dominance is a testament to its quality. The film’s ability to transcend languages and resonate with audiences globally is a true win for Indian cinema.
