‘Yamla Pagla Deewana’ to Re-Release in Theatres as a Tribute to Dharmendra

Veteran Bollywood actor Dharmendra passed away on November 24, 2025, at the age of 89, leaving the film industry and his fans deeply saddened. To honour his remarkable contribution to Indian cinema, his popular film Yamla Pagla Deewana is all set to return to theatres. This announcement has brought excitement among fans, who will once again get the chance to relive his iconic screen presence on the big screen.

Released in 2011, Yamla Pagla Deewana featured Dharmendra alongside his sons Sunny Deol and Bobby Deol. The action-comedy entertainer was widely appreciated for its humour, family appeal, and the strong chemistry between the trio. Directed by Samir Karnik, the film remains one of Dharmendra’s most loved performances in his later years.

According to reports, the film will be re-released on January 1, as a New Year special tribute. Initially planned for December 19, the release was postponed due to the strong box-office run of Ranveer Singh’s Dhurandhar. Produced on a budget of ₹28 crore, the film went on to collect ₹88.55 crore worldwide, as per Sacnilk.
