More than twenty years after it first left audiences in tears, Tere Naam is gearing up for an emotional return. The beloved romantic drama featuring Salman Khan and Bhumika Chawla is officially set to hit theaters again, giving fans a chance to experience one of Bollywood’s most powerful love stories on the big screen once more. The film will be back in cinemas starting February 27, 2026, bringing back memories of Radhe Mohan and the raw passion that defined a generation.
When it was released in 2003, Tere Naam became much more than just another love story. Salman Khan’s portrayal of Radhe, a man consumed by obsession, vulnerability, and uncontrollable rage, resonated deeply with viewers. Over the years, the character has transformed into a cult icon, with his hairstyle, memorable lines, and emotional breakdowns firmly planted in pop culture. This re-release taps into that nostalgia while also introducing a new audience to its heart-wrenching intensity.
Directed by Satish Kaushik, the film tells the story of Radhe Mohan and Nirjara Bharadwaj, played by Bhumika Chawla, whose romance is influenced as much by deep emotions as it is by societal pressures and personal flaws. Radhe’s relentless quest for love, his inner struggles, and the tragic fallout of his choices form the heart of the story. The film’s heartbreaking conclusion remains one of the most discussed endings in Hindi cinema, making its return to theaters particularly meaningful.
