BREAKING: Veer-Zaara to re-release in more than 600 screens overseas on November 7, making it the BIGGEST Bollywood re-release ever; Shah Rukh Khan-starrer to release in Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Oman for the first time

Last week, Bollywood Hungama was among the first to report that Veer-Zaara (2004), starring Shah Rukh Khan and Preity Zinta, will be re-released in foreign markets on November 7. Additionally, the song 'Yeh Hum Aa Gaye Hai Kahaan' has been included to the print. The song was omitted during its original release, therefore this is the first time it can be experienced in its entirety on the big screen. Bollywood Hungama has recently revealed more, intriguing facts about the re-release, which will take place just 5 days before its 20th anniversary.

Bollywood Hungama has heard that Veer-Zaara will debut in Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Oman. The producers, Yash Raj Films (YRF), have even published a poster commemorating this accomplishment.

And that is not all. A source told Bollywood Hungama that YRF has gone all out with Veer-Zaara's re-release. It will be shown on over 600 screens in international countries. This is perhaps the biggest re-release of a Bollywood film overseas."

Apart from Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Oman, Veer-Zaara will be published in the United States, Canada, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Kuwait, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Germany, Austria, France, Australia, New Zealand, Fiji, Singapore, Malaysia, and South Africa.

Interestingly, the re-release of Veer-Zaara has sparked excitement among fans of the film. Bookings for the film in Germany began a few days ago, and the response has been positive. As a result, it will not be surprising if Veer-Zaara draws large numbers around the world this weekend.

November 2024, it appears, will be a big month for Shah Rukh Khan. On November 2, he turned 59. This will be followed by the re-release of Veer-Zaara overseas, and on November 22, his other outstanding picture, Karan Arjun (1995), will be re-released worldwide, that is, in India and foreign regions.

Veer-Zaara, directed by Yash Chopra, tells the story of a Squadron Leader in the Indian Air Force who falls in love with a young Pakistani girl while visiting India. Things take a turn when he travels to Pakistan to meet her and is detained on incorrect accusations. He spends 22 years in prison before receiving assistance from a fierce Pakistani lawyer. The epic love drama also starred Rani Mukerji, Divya Dutta, Kirron Kher, and Manoj Bajpayee, with extended cameos from Amitabh Bachchan and Hema Malini.

Remembering #YashChopra, the legendary filmmaker, on his 12th death anniversary (21/10/12).

Yash Raj Chopra (27 September 1932 – 21 October 2012) was a distinguished Indian film director and producer in Hindi cinema. He was the visionary founder and chairman of the film production and distribution powerhouse Yash Raj Films. His illustrious career earned him numerous accolades, including 6 National Film Awards and 8 Filmfare Awards, marking him as one of the paramount filmmakers in Hindi cinema, especially revered for his romantic narratives with compelling female protagonists. His remarkable contributions to the film industry were recognized by the Government of India with the Dadasaheb Phalke Award in 2001 and the Padma Bhushan in 2005. Further, in 2006, the British Academy of Film and Television Arts gave him a lifetime membership, a first for an Indian.

Chopra's cinematic journey commenced as an assistant director to I. S. Johar and his elder brother, B.R. Chopra. He debuted as a director with Dhool Ka Phool in 1959, a melodrama exploring illegitimacy, followed by the social drama Dharmputra (1961). His directorial finesse gained prominence with the critically and commercially acclaimed family drama Waqt (1965), which introduced the trend of ensemble casts in Bollywood. In 1970, he launched his own production entity, Yash Raj Films, with its maiden venture being Daag: A Poem of Love (1973), a melodrama delving into polygamy, which garnered success. His winning streak continued through the seventies with iconic films like the action-thriller Deewaar (1975), which catapulted Amitabh Bachchan to stardom; the musical romantic drama Kabhi Kabhie (1976), and the ensemble family drama Trishul (1978). Chopra crafted two of his magnum opuses with Sridevi: the romantic musical Chandni (1989), which played a pivotal role in veering Bollywood away from violent themes towards romantic musicals, and Lamhe (1991), an intergenerational romantic drama, which, despite underperforming domestically, enjoyed overseas success.

Following the critically lacking Parampara (1993), he helmed the musical psychological thriller Darr (1993), marking the onset of his collaborative journey with Shahrukh Khan. This partnership flourished with romantic hits like Dil To Pagal Hai (1997), Veer-Zaara (2004), and Jab Tak Hai Jaan (2012). Although he announced his retirement in 2012, his dedication saw him working until his demise during the production of Jab Tak Hai Jaan due to dengue fever. Yash Raj Chopra's directorial legacy, embodied in his extensive work, cements his position as one of Bollywood's timeless directors.

Dharamputra

"Dharamputra", directed by Yash Chopra, intertwines themes of identity, religious division, and the social unrest that defined pre- and post-independence India (1925-1947). Set against this backdrop, the film delves into the story of Husn Bano, a young, unwed Muslim mother forced to give up her son due to societal pressures.

The film explores the human cost of such pressures, particularly on the identity of Indian Muslims. It exposes the phenomenon of "othering," where a dominant group constructs the "other" as different and potentially threatening. This concept becomes tragically relevant in the wake of Partition, as Dilip, raised as a Hindu and indoctrinated with nationalist fervor, struggles to reconcile his upbringing with the sudden revelation of his Muslim heritage.

Dilip's transformation from innocence to bigotry reflects the escalating religious tensions of the era. He embodies the "othering" process, becoming a staunch Hindu fundamentalist who actively opposes non-Hindu beliefs. As Sony Jalarajan Raj and Adith K. Suresh discuss in Reframing Islam in bollywood cinema: a study on the construction of the Islamic identity in Indian cinema, "Partition of the Indian subcontinent unilaterally separated individuals into elusive categorizations of ‘us’ and ‘them’". The film portrays the loss of a shared Hindu-Muslim identity post-Partition, highlighting the devastating impact of societal pressures and nationalistic ideology on individuals and communities.

In conclusion, while "Dharamputra" doesn't explicitly offer a path towards healing the divides, it is a reminder of the human cost of religious polarization and the enduring need for understanding and tolerance in a divided world. By showcasing the tragic consequences of othering and the loss of identity, the film compels viewers to critically examine their own biases.
