Sanam Teri Kasam Surpassed SRK’s Classic Hits
Shah Rukh’s films are known for their enchanting romance that remains relatable through various generations. But Sanam Teri Kasam is determined to make its name in the category.
Sanam Teri Kasam is a romantic tragedy enacted by Harshvardhan Rane and Mawra Hocane’s. The re-release of this film broke through the profits made from three of Bollywood’s classic tragic love stories. Shah Rukh Khan’s Kal Ho Naa Ho, Veer Zara, and Devdas! Box office reports suggest that Sanam Teri Kasam gained a profit of 138.3%, which is almost 239% higher than the profits of Veer Zara, Kal Ho Naa Ho, and Devdas combined.
Devdas spent 30 crores in the making but earned 41 crores at the box office. Meanwhile, Veer Zara reported a 50% profit on its collection of 33 crore. And Kal Ho Naa Ho won a 37.8% profit when its budget was 28 crore. The combined profits of these movies are only 40.75% against their total budget of 80 crores.
Sanam Teri Kasam follows the story of a stern ex-convict, Inder (Harshvardhan Rane), and a traditional Telugu librarian Saru (Mawra Hocane). Against all odds and despite their romantic pasts and challenges, Inder and Saru fall in love and get married. But soon a tragedy engulfs their lives. Sanam Teri Kasam may have failed to reach the desired audience in 2016, but now, it’s the movie’s time to shine!
