‘Taal’ to re-release in theatres to mark its 25th anniversary

Mumbai: Subhash Ghai’s musical romance drama Taal, which recently clocked 25 years of its premiere, will once again be screened in Indian screens.

Starring Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Akshaye Khanna, and Anil Kapoor, the 1999 film will be re-released September 27.

Ghai, who also co-wrote, edited, and produced Taal, is excited about releasing the movie on the big screen in its 25th anniversary year.

“With the re-release, I’m thrilled that audiences can experience Taal again on the big screen, reliving its magic, all over again,” the veteran filmmaker said in a statement.

Released August 13, 1999, Taal received rave reviews for the performance of the ensemble cast, also starring Amrish Puri, Alok Nath, Mita Vashisth and Saurabh Shukla.

According to trade website Box Office India, the film — mounted on a reported budget of Rs 15 crore — grossed over Rs 35 crore at the domestic box office and was a “semi-hit”.

Taal, however, would have been incomplete without the memorable soundtrack created by lyricist Anand Bakshi and composer AR Rahman.

Its songs “Taal Se Taal Mila”, “Ishq Bina”, “Nahin Saamne”, “Ramta Jogi”, and “Ni Main Samajh Gayi” still hold a special place in the hearts of music lovers.

Zee Studios will re-release the film in cinema halls.

“The re-release of Taal is a celebration of Indian cinema’s musical heritage. It’s rare to find a film that still resonates with audiences after 25 years, and we’re excited to give people the chance to relive that magic on the big screen once more,” added Umesh Bansal, Chief Business Officer of Zee Studios.

Recently, many old films, including Maine Pyar Kiya, Veer-Zaara, Gangs of Wasseypur, Rehnaa Hai Terre Dil Mein, and Laila Majnu, as well as movies from the 1960-’70s such as Padosan and Bombay To Goa, have been re-released in theatres.
