In Tollywood, re-releasing evergreen films has been a trend that has kept fans and film enthusiasts on their toes. Of late, the one in the news is about its re-release: the mass entertainer “Gabbar Singh” by director Harish Shankar, starring the ever-popular Power Star Pawan Kalyan. A special birthday treat to the hero, the film “Gabbar Singh” managed to create a storm at the box office, notwithstanding its re-release on a regular working Monday. Apart from attracting impressive crowds in India, the movie has been doing very well and has been a ravaging hit overseas, especially.
The overwhelming response in the US, where Telugu films have traditionally done well with the loyal fan base that exists for them, saw “Gabbar Singh” as one such film which really did well beyond expectations and also set a new trend for re-releases.

In the past, Megastar Chiranjeevi’s blockbuster movie “Indra” was yet another celebrated classic that created an all-time record in the US market with revenues above $59,000. However, “Gabbar Singh” broke that record by crossing $ 64,000 and etched its name as the top-grossing re-release film in the US.
That would be quite something, for it essentially means Pawan Kalyan has been a darling for many and enjoys such a huge following, even after all these years since the release of “Gabbar Singh.” The reception the movie sees during its re-release phase shows the strength of nostalgia and how attached audiences are to a few iconic Tollywood films. This trend of re-release is bound to go on in Tollywood, with “Gabbar Singh” setting new records and therefore giving fans more opportunities to catch up once again with their favorite movie moments on the big screen.
