As Allu Arjun’s birthday on April 8 approaches, the re-release of his blockbuster Race Gurram has set fans across India into a frenzy. The action-comedy, which originally marked Arjun’s first 100-crore hit, is galloping back into cinemas with remarkable advance bookings and renewed excitement.
Across India, the film has already registered ₹78 lakhs gross from 424 shows, with nearly 56,000 tickets sold on Day 1 advances. The response has been particularly strong in Hyderabad, where bookings touched ₹43 lakhs from 118 shows, recording an impressive 44% occupancy. Fan enthusiasm was evident in special early morning screenings, such as the 8 AM Uppal show, which sold out instantly. These screenings were accompanied by lively processions, celebrations, and the unveiling of a new Trailer 2.0, further fueling the buzz.
While the domestic response has been overwhelming, overseas premieres in the USA saw modest collections of $3,800 from 56 locations. Yet, the film’s iconic status ensures that even limited screenings abroad are drawing nostalgic crowds eager to relive the magic.
The re-release is more than just a box office event—it is a celebration of Allu Arjun’s enduring popularity. Fans are chanting for another gallop of Race Gurram, reaffirming its place as a milestone in his career. The film’s return to theaters highlights how certain movies transcend time, becoming cultural touchstones that unite audiences across generations.
