Thalapathy Vijay fans have a reason to celebrate! The beloved romantic comedy Sachein is all set to return to the big screen this weekend to mark its 20th anniversary. The film has already created a buzz with impressive advance bookings, and there’s still time for the numbers to go up.
Celebrating 20 Years of Sachein
Sachein, starring Thalapathy Vijay, Genelia D’Souza, and Bipasha Basu, originally hit theatres two decades ago. The film was directed by John Mahendran and produced by Kalaipuli S Thanu under the banner of V Creations. It’s a feel-good rom-com that still holds a special place in the hearts of Vijay fans.
To celebrate its 20-year milestone, Sachein is being re-released in cinemas across Tamil Nadu on April 18. This move has created a wave of excitement among fans, especially after the massive success of the Ghilli re-release.
Good Pre-Sales for a Classic Film
Despite being a 20-year-old movie, Sachein has managed to perform well in advance ticket sales. Over 9,000 tickets have already been sold across nearly 75 shows throughout Tamil Nadu, resulting in a pre-release earning of around Rs 12 lakh so far. With two days still left before the movie hits the screens, this is a solid start for a nostalgic re-release.
The current occupancy rate is about 40%, and if the momentum continues, Sachein could potentially cross Rs 50 lakh in advance bookings before its first show begins. This just goes to show the kind of love fans still have for Thalapathy Vijay and this particular film.
Will Sachein Affect Good Bad Ugly’s Box Office?
While Sachein is re-releasing purely as a celebration, it may unintentionally impact the performance of another big film—Ajith Kumar’s Good Bad Ugly. The action drama is currently doing well and is on track to become the highest-grossing film of Ajith’s career, even surpassing Viswasam.
However, with the popularity and buzz around Sachein, especially after the recent success of Ghilli’s re-release, there’s a chance that some audience attention may shift. This could slightly affect Good Bad Ugly’s weekend collections.
Get Ready for a Nostalgic Ride
If you’re a Thalapathy Vijay fan or simply love classic Tamil cinema, this is your chance to relive the magic of Sachein on the big screen. The film re-releases on April 18, and tickets are already available on all major online booking platforms as well as at your nearest theatre.
Whether you’ve seen it before or it’s your first time, Sachein promises a light-hearted, fun, and romantic movie experience—something that still resonates even after 20 years.
So, grab your popcorn and celebrate the return of a classic!
