'Sanam Bewafa': Salman Khan-starrer set to re-release in theaters
What's the story
Salman Khan's 1991 film Sanam Bewafa is set to return to the big screen on Friday, April 10, Bollywood Hungama confirmed. The re-release comes after a successful trend of bringing back classic films to theaters, which started gaining momentum in 2024 and peaked with Sanam Teri Kasam's record-breaking run as the highest-grossing re-release in 2025.
Strategic timing
'Sanam Bewafa' to fill in the gap
The re-release of Sanam Bewafa comes at a time when other films like Dhurandhar: The Revenge and Bhooth Bangla are in the mix. A trade source told the outlet, "With Dhurandhar: The Revenge slowing down and Bhooth Bangla being pushed ahead by a week, there's space for Sanam Bewafa, and hence, the release date is ideal."
Screening details
Where to watch 'Sanam Bewafa'
The film's re-release will start in select cities like Hyderabad, Indore, and Jalgaon. However, trade sources suggest that more theaters across India will soon join the list of venues screening this action-packed entertainer. In Hyderabad, for instance, AMB Gachibowli, a popular multiplex, will screen the film in its all-recliner MB Luxe screen.
