The re-release of old and iconic films has not only taken the cinegoers back to the golden and nostalgic phase but has also earned big numbers at the box office. While films like Tumbbad, Gangs of Wasseypur, Laila Majnu, Tamasha, Rockstar and RHTDM have got their dues to this initiative, Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham, Veer-Zaara and others showed that they are evergreen theatrical blockbusters. However, you will be surprised to know that none of the above-mentioned films is the highest re-release grosser.
Yes, the title is bagged by Thalapathy Vijay and Trisha Krishnan starrer Ghilli. The massy-entertainer, which released this year to celebrate its 20th anniversary has turned out to be a money spinner. As per Icomet, the highest re-release grosser is Ghilli , which earned Rs 40 crore followed by Tumbbad (above Rs 22 crore), Laila Majnu (around Rs 11 crore), Rockstar (Rs 10 crore) and RHTDM (Rs 3.
2 crore). Intha nada pothuma..

twitter.com/SowAd7iA8O Directed by Dharani, the film was the remake of Okkadu featuring Mahesh Babu, Bhumika Chawla and Prakash Raj, where the latter reprised his character in Ghilli. It was later remade in Hindi as Tevar featuring Arjun Kapoor, Manoj Bajpayee and Sonakshi Sinha.
However, the Hindi version failed to create magic at the box office. Ghilli also featured Ashish Vidyarthi, Dhamu, Mayilsamy, Janaki Sabesh, Nancy Jennifer, Nagendra Prasad, Ponnambalam and Pandu in prominent roles..
