Mark Your Calendars! PVR INOX & Yash Raj Films Re-launch Iconic Film ‘Band Baaja Baaraat’ on January 16, 2026!
VR INOX, India’s largest and most premium cinema exhibitor, in association with Yash Raj Films, is set to re-release Band Baaja Baaraat on January 16, 2026, marking 15 years since its original release on December 10, 2010. Directed by Maneesh Sharma, the film marked the debut of Ranveer Singh and starred Anushka Sharma in a spirited story of ambition, love, and friendship set against the vibrant backdrop of Delhi’s wedding industry. Produced by Yash Raj Films, the movie went on to become a cultural phenomenon, earning widespread critical acclaim and enduring audience affection for its infectious energy, memorable music, and refreshingly original storytelling.
Band Baaja Baaraat redefined the modern Bollywood romance by rooting its narrative in the frenetic, lived-in world of Delhi weddings. Deeply embedded in local culture and everyday realities, the film subtly reset the grammar of romantic storytelling—presenting love as something that grows from partnership, equality, and conflict rather than destiny alone. It captured the spirit of a young, aspirational, entrepreneurial India with warmth and authenticity, while transforming the Indian wedding from a glossy backdrop into a dynamic social ecosystem. Cinematically, the film ushered in a new wave of rooted rom-coms marked by colloquial dialogue, flawed characters, and grounded settings.
Commenting on the re-release, Niharika Bijli, Lead Strategist, PVR INOX, said,
“Band Baaja Baaraat is one of those rare films that never loses its charm. It remains fun and immensely relatable, no matter when—or with whom—you watch it. Re-releasing the film is our way of celebrating modern storytelling that continues to resonate across generations. With its timeless music, sharp humour, and deeply lived-in performances, the film captures the spirit of friendship, love, ambition, and life just as it is. We’re excited to bring it back for a new generation to discover its magic on the big screen.”
Sharing his thoughts, Maneesh Sharma, Director of the film, said,
“Band Baaja Baaraat was born from a very simple idea. I had read a magazine piece about young Indian entrepreneurs, and what stayed with me was their willingness to take risks and build something of their own, even with limited resources. That became the seed of the story. Over time, it grew into a film about love, friendship, and ambition—authentic, messy, and deeply rooted in familiar streets. The film has found a life of its own with audiences across generations and geographies, and I’m truly looking forward to seeing it being loved all over again on the big screen.”
The re-release of Band Baaja Baaraat forms part of PVR INOX’s ongoing initiative to celebrate landmark films and exceptional talent from India and across the world. By bringing timeless cinema back to theatres, PVR INOX offers a unique opportunity for younger audiences to experience these classics on the big screen, while allowing longtime fans to relive the nostalgia and magic they grew up with.
Audiences can once again immerse themselves in the joy, music, romance, and celebration of Band Baaja Baaraat at PVR INOX cinemas nationwide starting January 16, 2026. Booking details and theatre listings will be announced shortly on the official PVR INOX app and website.
