ROMANTIC RESURRECTION

As a longtime admirer of Indian cinema, I am absolutely thrilled about the international re-release of Yash Chopra’s timeless masterpiece “Veer Zaara.” Having grown up on Bollywood classics, this movie holds a special place in my heart due to its enchanting storytelling and powerful performances. The fact that it will make its debut in Saudi Arabia, Oman, and Qatar is truly heartwarming and symbolizes the growing global appreciation for Indian cinema.


To celebrate the 20th anniversary of the movie “Veer Zaara,” India’s Yash Raj Films is planning a global re-release. Starting November 7, this Shah Rukh Khan film will be shown on 600 screens worldwide.

2004’s romantic film, starring Khan alongside Preity Zinta and Rani Mukerji, is set to premiere in theaters in Saudi Arabia, Oman, and Qatar as part of a global release spanning 19 territories, including North America, Europe, Australia, and South Africa.

The remake will feature the unheard track “Here We Come Back, Where?” for the first time in the cinematic version of the movie. In 2004, “Veer Zaara” was not only the top-earning Indian film domestically but also overseas.
