The 2026 cinematic season is kicking off with a significant dose of nostalgia as a beloved romantic comedy prepares for a grand theatrical homecoming. Yash Raj Films, in partnership with PVR INOX, has confirmed that the colourful and high-energy world of Bittoo and Shruti will grace the big screen once again.
This release offers audiences a chance to revisit the vibrant streets of Delhi and the chaotic charm of the wedding planning industry that redefined the genre over a decade ago.
The return of Shruti and Bittoo
The announcement for Band Baaja Baaraat’s re-release was made today, January 2, 2026, via an official press release that rapidly spread across social media platforms with netizens passing around the word. Specifically, the PVR Cinemas official Instagram account shared a nostalgic post featuring a still of Ranveer Singh and Anushka Sharma with the caption:
“Ranveer Singh, Anushka Sharma, and a rom-com that never gets old. Band Baaja Baaraat is back on the big screen – catch the fun all over again! #BandBaajaBaaraat re-releasing at PVR INOX on Jan 16!”
Alongside the social media buzz, Niharika Bijli, Lead Strategist at PVR INOX, issued a formal statement via a press release explaining that the re-release was part of an ongoing initiative to celebrate landmark films. She described the 2010 hit as a “celebration of storytelling” that remained immensely relatable even decades later, to the youth of today.
The Dhurandhar wave shows no signs of stopping
The timing of this re-release is particularly fascinating as Ranveer Singh is currently enjoying the biggest success of his career with Dhurandhar. Directed by Aditya Dhar, the high-stakes spy thriller has stayed firmly planted in theaters since its early December 2025 debut. Even in its fifth week of release, the movie is playing to packed houses, recently crossing the monumental Rs 1,100 crore mark at the global box office.
As of January 2, 2026, Dhurandhar remains the top choice for moviegoers, having survived a wave of holiday releases. The film recently made headlines when a slightly revised version was released on New Year’s Day to comply with recent broadcasting muting directives; a move that surprisingly sparked a fresh surge in ticket sales. With Dhurandhar dominating the current box office and Band Baaja Baaraat arriving in two weeks, Ranveer Singh has effectively occupied the Indian theatrical space from start to finish.
