Last month, the movie industry and fans were very sad as Dharmendra passed away on November 24 at the age of 89. More than a month after his passing, his popular film Yamla Pagla Deewana (2011) is expected to be shown again in cinemas.
A source told , “The re-release of Yamla Pagla Deewana will serve as a tribute to the man who was loved by everyone and left a lasting mark on cinema.
The film is a good choice for a re-run because it’s not too old, still looks fresh and fun, and stars Dharmendra along with his two sons, Sunny Deol and Bobby Deol.”
The source continued, “Earlier, the plan was to re-release Yamla Pagla Deewana this Friday, December 19.
But due to the Dhurandhar wave, NH Studioz, which owns the rights to the film, has decided to change the plan. Yamla Pagla Deewana is now expected to arrive in cinemas on January 1, 2026. A final decision will be taken in a few days from now.”
Yamla Pagla Deewana was directed by Samir Karnik and its title was inspired by the song “Main Jat Yamla Pagla Deewana” from the 1975 film, Pratigya, also starring Dharmendra.
A remixed version of the title track was part of the film and helped make it popular. Yamla Pagla Deewana tells the story of an Indian living in Canada who goes to Banaras to find his estranged brother and father. Trouble happens when the three of them go to Punjab to help the younger brother win the love of his life, but they also have to deal with her crazy family.
Yamla Pagla Deewana opened with Rs. 7.95 crores, which was a good number at that time, and earned Rs. 55.28 crores in its lifetime.
The film was loved for its comedy and mass appeal, and also because Dharmendra, Sunny Deol, and Bobby Deol all had strong roles with a lot of screen time. Its success led the makers to create Yamla Pagla Deewana 2 (2013) and Yamla Pagla Deewana Phir Se (2018). However, both of these films did not do well at the box office.
