Rangeela rolls again in 4K 90s magic gets a new frame of mind
MUMBAI: It’s time to put on those dancing shoes again Rangeela is ready to paint theatres in technicolour nostalgia. Three decades after Aamir Khan, Urmila Matondkar, and Jackie Shroff set the screen ablaze, Ram Gopal Varma’s cult classic is making a grand comeback. The 1995 musical will hit cinemas once again on 28 November 2025, exactly 30 years after it first redefined Bollywood cool.
The re-release isn’t just a replay; it’s a revival. Presented in a 4K HD restored version with immersive sound, the film promises razor-sharp visuals, richer colours, and a sonic polish worthy of A.R. Rahman’s iconic soundtrack. The restoration comes courtesy of Ultra Media, under its Ultra Rewind initiative, a project devoted to bringing India’s cinematic gems back to the big screen, one frame-perfect classic at a time.
When it first released, Rangeela was nothing short of revolutionary, a vibrant cocktail of melody, ambition, and Mumbai masti that marked a turning point for Hindi cinema in the 90s. From Rahman’s foot-tapping “Tanha Tanha” to the breezy “Yaaron Sun Lo Zara,” the soundtrack redefined Bollywood music, while Urmila’s star-making turn and RGV’s kinetic storytelling gave Hindi cinema a fresh, stylish edge.
Reflecting on the film’s enduring legacy, Ram Gopal Varma said, “Rangeela embodied the spirit of aspiration, showing that ordinary people can also dare to dream big. Its success demonstrated that rule-breaking cinema is often the most unforgettable.”
Ultra Media CEO Sushilkumar Agrawal added, “For many, Rangeela is a nostalgic trip back to the golden era of Bollywood. With Ultra Rewind, we’re bringing this beloved classic to modern audiences in a stunning 4K format, ensuring that its timeless charm continues to mesmerise audiences for years to come.”
Rangeela is the second project under Ultra Rewind, following the Guru Dutt Centenary Retrospective earlier this year on 8 July. That initiative saw the re-release of gems like Pyaasa, Sahib Biwi aur Ghulam, Kagaz Ke Phool, and Chaudhvin Ka Chand in 4K glory. The studio now plans to restore and re-release many other classics across languages, keeping India’s cinematic heritage alive and looking sharper than ever.
So, come November, the big screen will once again shimmer with Rahman’s rhythms, RGV’s storytelling swagger, and Urmila’s electric charm. Because some films don’t just age, they replay beautifully.

Dhurandhar returns to theatres worldwide on March 13 ahead of Dhurandhar The Revenge release
Jio Studios re-releases blockbuster across 500 screens globally before sequel
MUMBAI: The spy saga of Dhurandhar is gearing up for a big-screen encore before its next chapter arrives.
Ahead of the release of Dhurandhar The Revenge on March 19, Jio Studios and B62 Studios are bringing the original Dhurandhar back to cinemas worldwide in a rare international theatrical re-release.
The global blockbuster is returning across nearly 500 screens, including around 250 in India from March 12 and another 250 overseas beginning March 13.
For fans of the franchise, the move offers a chance to revisit the film that ignited the high-octane spy-action universe just days before the sequel lands in theatres. It also sets up a rare back-to-back big-screen experience, allowing audiences to relive the original before diving straight into the next chapter.
While re-releases of popular films are occasionally seen in India, international re-runs of Hindi films remain uncommon. The scale of the rollout reflects the growing global appetite for the franchise.
In North America alone, Dhurandhar will return to theatres across nearly 185 screens, highlighting the strong anticipation surrounding the upcoming sequel.
The excitement is set to build further with special Wednesday premiere shows of Dhurandhar The Revenge scheduled across the US and Canada on March 18, a day ahead of its global release. Many of these premieres will be hosted on premium large format screens, featuring wall-to-wall displays, immersive sound systems such as Dolby Atmos, enhanced projection and luxury seating.
These formats are typically reserved for major Hollywood event films, and early bookings suggest strong demand with several shows already sold out.
The recently released trailer of Dhurandhar The Revenge has also sparked buzz among exhibitors and trade circles, with expectations running high for the film’s international performance.
Dhurandhar The Revenge is written, directed and produced by Aditya Dhar. The film is produced by Jyoti Deshpande and Lokesh Dhar.
Jio Studios presents a B62 Studios production, an Aditya Dhar film.
The spy-action thriller will release worldwide on March 19, 2026, in five languages including Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam and Kannada.
The film arrives in theatres globally on the occasion of Gudi Padwa and Ugadi, just ahead of Eid, setting the stage for a festive box office run.
