Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan was busy celebrating his 57th birthday on 2 November. He was also spotted outside Mannat to greet his fans as they cheered on for him. Moreover, on the occasion of his birthday, the makers of Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge re-released the film in cinemas. The film was released on limited screenings.
And in spite of the fact that the film was released in 1995 and is also available to stream on an OTT platform, the audience still went to watch the movie on SRK's birthday. To top it all, the re-release of Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, set a new record at the box office.
According to India Today the new records from the top cinema chains are as follows; for PVR it's Rs 13,10,000, Inox it's Rs 5,54,000 and the form for Cinepolis is Rs 4,40,000.
Moreover, in many theatres several shows of DDLJ were houseful.
On the other hand, SRK is also working with YRF films yet again in Pathaan. The film is worlds apart from DDLJ, with it's action-packed thriller tonality. He will also be seen in Dunki and Jawaan.
