Directed by Divya Khosla Kumar, ‘Yaariyan’ was released on January 10, 2014, and featured a fresh ensemble cast, including Himansh Kohli, Rakul Preet Singh, Gulshan Grover, Nicole Faria and Evelyn Sharma. The film was loved for its storytelling and emotional depth, making it a hit among young audiences in no time.

Apart from the story, the film became a sensation due to its chart-topping music. Songs like ‘Sunny Sunny’, ‘ABCD’, and ‘Baarish’ remain popular even a decade after the film’s release.

Several Bollywood films have recently been re-released in theaters, giving audiences a chance to revisit old favorites. Movies like ‘Highway’, ‘Fashion’, and ‘Shaadi Mein Zaroor Aana’ have all been re-released, allowing fans to watch their favorite movies in theaters. The most recent one to join the list of re-releases was ‘Lootera’.

‘Lootera’ is a 2013 Indian period romance film directed by Vikramaditya Motwane. Set in the 1950s, the film stars Ranveer Singh and Sonakshi Sinha in lead roles, with Vikrant Massey and Barun Chanda in supporting roles.

The story follows Varun Shrivastav (played by Ranveer Singh), a charming conman who enters the life of Pakhi Roy Chaudhary (played by Sonakshi Sinha), the daughter of a wealthy landlord. Posing as an archaeologist, Varun gains access to the Roy Chaudhary household with plans to carry out a heist. However, a series of tragic events unfolds when Varun’s true identity is revealed.

‘Lootera’ is inspired by O Henry’s short story ‘The Last Leaf’ and is known for its emotional depth and poetic storytelling. While the film was a commercial success, it gained an even stronger following over time, becoming a beloved film among both audiences and critics. (ANI)
