The iconic Bollywood romantic drama Dhadkan, which originally graced theatres over two decades ago, is all set for a grand re-release. The movie, starring Akshay Kumar, Suniel Shetty, and Shilpa Shetty, will return to select big screens in India on May 23, 2025, in a digitally remastered format, promising enhanced picture and sound quality for a fresh cinematic experience.
Released on August 11, 2000, Dhadkan became a beloved classic for its emotional depth, compelling performances, and unforgettable music. Directed by Dharmesh Darshan, the film explores themes of love, heartbreak, and loyalty. Shilpa Shetty plays Anjali, a woman torn between her deep love for Dev (played by Suniel Shetty) and her commitment to her husband, Ram (played by Akshay Kumar). The narrative’s dramatic storyline, paired with a soulful soundtrack, made it a massive hit with audiences at the time.
Apart from the main trio, the film also featured stellar performances by Mahima Chaudhry, Sharmila Tagore, Parmeet Sethi, and others. The music, composed by Nadeem-Shravan, captured the hearts of listeners and remains a timeless favorite in Bollywood’s romantic genre.
Fans of the early 2000s era, who fondly remember Dhadkan, are in for a nostalgic treat as the film returns to the big screen, offering a chance to relive the intense emotional journey of the characters. The digitally remastered version will enhance the visual and auditory experience, making it a must-watch for both long-time fans and new viewers.
Dhadkan promises to fill the void for romantic drama enthusiasts, who have been craving the heart-touching narratives of yesteryear’s Bollywood. In the current era, where romantic films have taken a different turn, Dhadkan‘s re-release brings back the golden days of Bollywood romance.
On the professional front, Suniel Shetty is preparing for the release of his upcoming film Kesari Veer, while Akshay Kumar’s latest release was Kesari Chapter 2 alongside R. Madhavan and Ananya Panday. Akshay is also gearing up for Housefull 5, which will feature an ensemble cast, continuing his successful streak in Bollywood.
