Cult Film “Lakshya” Returns to Theaters on its 20th Anniversary

Farhan Akhtar, the renowned Bollywood director, announced that the cult film “Lakshya,” starring Hrithik Roshan and Preity Zinta, will be re-released in theaters on June 21 to commemorate its 20th anniversary.

Released in 2004, “Lakshya” tells the story of Karan Shergill, an aimless young man from a wealthy Delhi family who joins the Indian Army and becomes a war hero during the 1999 Kargil War. Despite featuring prominent stars like Hrithik Roshan, Preity Zinta, Boman Irani, and Amitabh Bachchan, the film was considered a commercial failure upon its initial release, grossing only 230 million rupees at the domestic box office.

However, over time, “Lakshya” gained a cult following and was praised by critics and fans for its inspiring story about finding one’s identity. Now, after 20 years, Farhan Akhtar has decided to re-release the film in theaters, allowing a new generation of viewers to experience this cinematic masterpiece on the big screen.
