Almost 30 years after its original release in 1995, Rakesh Roshan is set to evoke nostalgia by re-releasing the first film featuring the top-notch duo of Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan, alongside a powerhouse cast including Rakhee, Kajol, Mamta Kulkarni, and Amrish Puri. Karan Arjun, known for its hit music by Rajesh Roshan, is scheduled for a global re-release on November 22, 2024.
Fans of Hindi cinema are in for the excitement as Rakesh Roshan aims to make history with the largest re-release ever of Karan Arjun in single screens and multiplexes across India, alongside an international release simultaneously. The director-producer shared the announcement with a new teaser for the 1995 cult classic movie. The 1-minute teaser takes audiences on a nostalgic journey through this re-creation and revenge saga.
3 decades ago, Rakesh Roshan achieved the remarkable feat of bringing Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan together for the 1st time on screen as brothers Karan and Arjun. The film became a blockbuster and one of the top-grossing films of the year, which enjoys a remarkable 50-week run in 76 centers, and continuing to be shown in 26 centers during its 75th week.
The film introduced India to the iconic ‘cine-ma’ through Rakhee Gulzar’s character Durga Singh & featuring the formidable villain Thakur Durjan Singh, portrayed by the late Amrish Puri. Karan Arjun also stars Kajol as Sonia Saxena & Mamta Kulkarni as Bindiya.
Over the years, Karan Arjun has remained a staple in pop culture and gratitude to its memorable dialogues like ‘Mere Karan Arjun Aayenge’, ‘Bhaag Arjun Bhaag!’, and its soul-stirring music by Rajesh Roshan in songs such as ‘Yeh Bandhan Toh…’, ‘Bhangda Paale’, ‘Rana ji Maaf Karna’, & ‘Jaati Hoon Main’, all celebrating the enticing theme of brotherhood.
