New Delhi [India]: Bollywood’s beloved romantic drama Dhadkan is set to make a grand return to the silver screen on May 23, marking 25 years since its original release in 2000. The re-release celebrates the film’s enduring legacy, touching hearts with its tale of love, sacrifice, and cultural values.
Suniel Shetty, who portrayed the intense and passionate Dev Chopra, reflected on the film’s lasting impact. “Dhadkan is reliving itself after 25 years,” he said. “It speaks about love, respect for parental choices, and the strength of relationships—elements that are rare in today’s world. The film represents what our culture and values are all about.”
Directed by Dharmesh Darshan, Dhadkan featured a memorable ensemble cast including Akshay Kumar as Ram, Shilpa Shetty as Anjali, and Suniel Shetty. The film’s poignant storyline, centered around a love triangle, struck a chord with audiences and has since become a cherished classic.
One of the standout features of Dhadkan was its timeless music. The soundtrack, composed by Nadeem-Shravan, produced evergreen hits such as Tum Dil Ki Dhadkan Mein, Dil Ne Yeh Kaha Hai Dil Se, and Na Na Karte, which continue to enjoy popularity across generations.
As fans prepare to revisit this iconic film on the big screen, Suniel Shetty is also gearing up for the release of his next project, Kesari Veer: Legends of Somnath, which coincidentally hits theatres the same day, May 23. The film co-stars Sooraj Pancholi and promises a powerful historical narrative.
