RHTDM‘s Initial Struggles at the Box Office
During a recent interview at the 55th International Film Festival of India (IFFI) in Goa, Madhavan shared his candid thoughts about the film’s initial reception. Despite his best efforts to ensure the movie’s success, including visiting numerous temples to pray for its success, Love is the land of my heart failed to perform well at the box office. Madhavan recalled, “When it first released, it didn’t do well; it was a flop. So I remember being heartbroken. I had gone to all the temples and made sure I had left no stone unturned to make the film the way it was supposed to, but it was heartbreaking.”
The Unexpected Success of the Re-release
Years later, Madhavan was left surprised and elated when RHTD was re-released in theatres. The film, which had faced early rejection, garnered newfound success and more revenue during its re-release. Madhavan expressed his amazement, saying, “Little did I realize that fortune and fate had a big story for me. It (re-)released after 25 years and made more money than it did originally. It’s wonderful to be recognized for doing a film 25 years later.”
Fans Still Adore the Film After 23 Years
Madhavan further reflected on the audience’s unwavering love for the film. Speaking about the re-release experience, he said, “The craziness and the involvement of the audiences in the theaters is something that is both baffling and, at the same time, so charming to see. People don’t mind that it’s not technologically up-to-date or that it’s 23-year-old content, which has been offered repeatedly on all TV channels, social media, and OTT platforms many times over. They are still coming to theaters for the community-watching experience, paying good money to watch a love story that has resonated with them for 23 years.”
Madhavan continues to make waves in the industry. After his recent success in Satan Besides Ajay Devgn, which received positive reviews from both critics and audiences, Madhavan is all set to star in upcoming projects. Shankarwhich will feature him alongside Ajay Devgn and Rakul Preet Singh.
