2024 saw a surge in old classic Bollywood movie re-releases, with classics like Jab We Met, Karan Arjun, Tumbbad, Laila Majnu, and many others returning to theatres with remastered visuals and enhanced soundtracks. However, audience reactions were mixed, with some enjoying nostalgia while others questioned the necessity of these re-releases. Many felt it was a tactic to capitalise on past successes, and the lack of fresh content left some longing for new cinematic experiences.
