Ranbir Kapoor’s Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani sees 100 % jump on second day of re-release

Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika Padukone starrer Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani directed by Ayan Mukerji, is spreading its magic once again on the big screen as the film is back in the theaters 11 years since its release the first time around. Due to lack of releases last year, the trend of re-releasing old films is back in vogue since 2023, with the latest beneficiary being Karan Johar’s production.

The film which released on Friday, minted Rs 1.20 crore, while on the second day, the film saw an almost 100 % jump to see its overall collection reaching Rs 3.60 crore. The jump in the collection was also because of the increasing demands by the audience, thus distributors increased the shows from 750 on day 1 to 1600 on day 2, and going by the trend, the number of shows will increase on day 3 ( Sunday ) as well.
During its first time release, the film had minted Rs 188.57 crore, and with the re-release numbers, the collection has now gone up to Rs 192.17 crore. The trade is epxecting the film to mint at least over Rs 3 crore on Sunday, and hopes to enter the Rs 200 crore club by the end of the week. There are new releases coming on the 10th of January like Sonu Sood’s Fateh, but the lack of audience excitement might just help YJHD to make more money at the box office.
While Ranbir Kapoor will be next seen in Nitesh Tiwari’s Ramayan, Ayan is busy completing War 2 with Hrithik Roshan, NTR Jr and Kiara Advani. And Deepika Padukone is currently on break from films after the birth of her daughter Dua.
