Time to revisit the Poetic Love of Ram & Jaanu
Timeless classics have been the tonic of film lovers, who find themselves rejuvenated watching masterpieces, which mark their territory beyond decades and ages. In particular, the ‘Love Stories’ have engraved a deeper impact upon the audiences, which makes them revisit those tales, and find themselves drenched in its soulfulness. Movies like ‘Romeo & Juliet’, ‘Roman Holiday’, ‘Titanic’, ‘Diwale Dulhan Le Jayange’, ‘Vinnaithaandi Varuvaaya’ and many films, have been classic examples of such paradigms. Madras Enterprises S. Nanthagopal’s ’96’ starring Vijay Sethupathi and Trisha, in the lead roles, directed by C. Prem Kumar, has been declared as one such inevitable masterpiece etched in the hearts of everyone. The moments of ‘Ram and Jaanu’ remain unfaded beyond the cinematic experience of film enthusiasts.
With many movies getting into the pop culture of re-releases trending in the world of Tamil cinema, ’96’ generated a new trend of ‘Revisiting’ the moment of ‘Ram & Jaanu’. Every time, the scenes are watched, the songs are played and even a single frame of the film is seen, the experience gets phenomenal.
Now on popular demand, the makers are delighted to announce that ’96’ will be re-released for this Valentine’s Day on February 14, 2024. KM Sundaram Pictures is re-releasing it all over Tamil Nadu in huge screen counts.
Producer S. Nanthagopal, Madras Enterprises, says, “96 has never become a classic, which is something beyond our imaginations. When we made this film, we wanted to gift audiences, a poetic love story, and they gifted us back something phenomenal. There was a YouTube comment from a fan for one of the promos, that read, “Please post some Bloopers of the film, and make us believe ’96’ is just a movie.” What else does a producer, director, actor, or crew member of a film need more than this? We are glad to announce that 96 will be re-released with more screen counts all over Tamil Nadu for this Valentine’s Day. I take this opportunity to thank director C Prem Kumar, Vijay Sethupathi, Trisha, Govind Vasantha, and everyone on the team for endowing an unforgettable masterpiece for Madras Enterprises. I also thank KM Sundaram Pictures for taking the initiative to re-release the film all over Tamil Nadu in grand scale”
