The magic of Kal Ho Naa Ho, the beloved Shah Rukh Khan and Preity Zinta romantic drama, is about to grace the big screen once again! As Bollywood celebrates the timeless classics, Kal Ho Naa Ho will be re-released on November 15, promising fans a walk down memory lane with the charm of early 2000s cinema.
Dharma Productions made the announcement on social media, leaving fans ecstatic. “Yaaay…can’t wait to see it again,” one fan exclaimed, while another called it “one of the best films made in Hindi cinema.” Directed by Nikkhil Advani, Kal Ho Naa Ho captivated audiences with its touching storyline and unforgettable dialogues. Who can forget Shah Rukh’s heartfelt confession to Naina, “I love you very much, Naina,” or the memorable musical numbers that defined a generation?
Released in 2003, the story centers around Naina (Preity Zinta), an MBA student in New York, who falls for her charming neighbor Aman (Shah Rukh Khan). But Aman, harboring a painful secret, tries to set Naina up with her friend Rohit (Saif Ali Khan) to spare her the heartbreak of his illness. The film is filled with emotional moments, humor, and that classic Bollywood charm that makes it a timeless hit.
The re-release also holds special meaning for producer Karan Johar, as it was the last film his late father, Yash Johar, contributed to. “Thank you, Papa, for making stories that matter,” Karan reflected on the 20th anniversary of the film. This re-release is a chance for fans, both old and new, to experience Kal Ho Naa Ho as it was meant to be—on the silver screen.
Mark your calendars for November 15 to relive this iconic Bollywood classic, now returning to theaters near you!
