The special re-releases are part of a curated celebration that revisits love in all its intensity, heartbreak, and transformation.
PVR Cinemas has announced the theatrical re-release of three celebrated films, Devdas, Yuva, and Tere Naam. According to the multiplex chain, the initiative aims to showcase the ‘many shades of love’ through stories that left a lasting impact on audiences when they first released over two decades ago.
Among the three, Devdas will be the first to return to cinemas, hitting screens on February 6. It will be followed by Mani Ratnam’s Yuva on February 20, while Salman Khan’s Tere Naam is scheduled for a February 27 re-release.

Adapted from Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyay’s classic novel, the film was mounted on a grand scale and became the most expensive Indian production of its time.
The film premiered at the Cannes Film Festival and went on to achieve massive box office success. Celebrated for its opulent sets, soulful music, and emotionally charged performances, Devdas continues to be regarded as one of Bhansali’s most accomplished works.

While audience reactions at the time were mixed, the film became memorable for Salman’s raw performance and its popular soundtrack. Over the years, Tere Naam has developed a cult following, making its return to theatres a highly anticipated event for fans.

The film traces the intersecting lives of three young men from vastly different backgrounds and how a single violent incident alters their futures forever. Known for its layered storytelling and political undertones, Yuva remains a significant film in Ratnam’s career.
With these re-releases, audiences will get the chance to experience iconic performances, unforgettable music, and emotionally rich storytelling in theatres once again. As Valentine’s Day draws near, the return of Devdas, Yuva, and Tere Naam offers moviegoers an opportunity to revisit love stories that defined an era, this time, on the big screen where they belong.
