Akshay Kumar, Shilpa Shetty, Suniel Shetty's Dhadkan To Re-Release On THIS Date
The 2000 Bollywood hit Dhadkan, starring Shilpa Shetty, Akshay Kumar, and Suniel Shetty, returns to theaters on May 23, 2025, in a digitally remastered version.
Here's some news that will make every Bollywood fan smile: Dhadkan is returning to the big screen on May 23, 2025! Yes, the same Dhadkan that gave us soulful songs, intense drama, and one of the most iconic love triangles in Hindi cinema. So hold onto your chiffon dupattas and crank up the Tum Dil Ki Dhadkan Mein playlist.
Starring Shilpa Shetty, Akshay Kumar, and Suniel Shetty, the film was first released in 2000 and quickly became a fan favourite. Now, 25 years later, it's coming back to selected theatres across India in a digitally remastered version with better sound and picture quality.
Directed by Dharmesh Darshan, Dhadkan tells the story of Anjali (Shilpa), who is caught between two men— her past love, Dev (Suniel), and her present husband, Ram (Akshay). It's a story full of emotion with love, heartbreak, anger, and hope. Suniel Shetty's intense dialogues, Akshay's calm and gentle charm, and Shilpa's emotional performance touched hearts back then and they still do today.
And let's not forget the music! Songs like Tum Dil Ki Dhadkan Mein, Dil Ne Yeh Kaha Hai Dil Se, and Na Na Karte are still played at weddings, road trips, and even heartbreak playlists. The film's soundtrack is one of the main reasons why it became such a hit.
Originally released over two decades ago, the film is returning to the theatres as a part of a special screening initiative to celebrate iconic Bollywood films.
Dhadkan, released in 2000, was a musical romantic drama directed by Dharmesh Darshan and produced by Ratan Jain. It also featured Mahima Chaudhry, Sharmila Tagore, Parmeet Sethi, Kiran Kumar, Sushma Seth and Manjeet Kullar in supporting roles.
Loosely inspired by Emily Brontë's Wuthering Heights, Dhadkan tells the emotional story of Anjali and Dev, who are madly in love and dream of spending their lives together. But fate has other plans—Anjali's family disapproves of Dev and arranges her marriage to the kind and steady Ram instead. Heartbroken, Dev disappears from her life.
Years later, he returns, determined to win her back. But things have changed—Anjali has moved on and truly fallen in love with her husband Ram. What follows is a storm of emotions, heartbreak, and choices that test love, loyalty, and forgiveness.

'I Can Never Be Madhuri And She Can Never Be Me': Can You Guess Which Star Said This?
1/8 The two stars shared screen space in Swati (1986). The romantic drama, directed by Kranthi Kumar, featured Meenakshi Seshadri in the lead as Swati, with Madhuri Dixit playing her stepsister. The film showcased both actresses' talents and is considered a significant work in their respective careers. (Image: IMDb) Damini (1993) was a groundbreaking film, and perhaps Meenakshi's career best too. Reportedly, director Rajkumar Santoshi fell in love with her, and ended up proposing marriage to her. However, the actor turned down Santoshi's offer, following which things turned sour between the two. Allegedly, the director wanted to replace Meenakshi mid-way; Madhuri was reportedly approached (among other actresses). (Image: IMDb) In a 2024 interview with Bombay Times, Meenakshi reiterated: "I can never be Madhuri and she can never be me." She dismissed the notion of rivalry, rather stating that she and Madhuri are unique and cannot be compared. (Image: Instagram) At the peak of her career, Meenakshi quit Bollywood and shifted to the US after her marriage to investment banker Harish Mysore. Madhuri, on the other hand, continued her reign as one of the most successful actresses in the Hindi film industry. (Image: Instagram)

Shruti Haasan says South stars are more humble compared to Bollywood: 'People with a lot of money won't dress up flashy'
Actor Shruti Haasan is winning praise for her performance in Coolie, which has crossed the ₹400 crore mark worldwide in less than a week. In a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter India, Shruti opened up about her experiences working in both the Hindi and South Indian film industries, and why she finds South stars more grounded than Bollywood actors. Shruti Haasan reveals why South stars are more humble. Shruti Haasan on why South stars are more humble Explaining her remark that South stars are more humble because they fear that if they lose it, 'Saraswati ka haath sar se uth jayega (Goddess Saraswati will withdraw her blessings).' She explained, 'I mean, it's hard to talk about being pious or anything of that sort in my home because my father doesn't believe in anything of that sort. But when I started working, I noticed those small things, like having coconut in the morning or having a photo of a deity sitting in the corner.' She added, 'There were rules regarding what was and wasn't allowed on set, and the actor and their staff were always very aware of how they presented themselves. I found there to be a higher level of awareness and consciousness in the South, compared to when I worked in the Hindi film industry. I think it's just a South Indian thing to do; you know, many people who have a lot of money won't dress up very flashy. They will still have that old Ambassador car for many years. It's just the psychology of the place, and it's very important to realise that we are merely vessels for art.' Shruti Haasan's Bollywood films While Shruti has enjoyed a flourishing career in South cinema, her journey in Bollywood has been less successful. She made her Hindi debut with Luck (2009) alongside Sanjay Dutt and Imran Khan, which underperformed at the box office. Subsequent films such as Dil Toh Bachcha Hai Ji, Ramaiya Vastavaiya, Welcome Back, Rocky Handsome and Behen Hogi Teri also struggled commercially. Her only Bollywood hit was Akshay Kumar's Gabbar Is Back (2015). Shruti Haasan's recent and upcoming work Currently, Shruti is basking in the success of Coolie, directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj and starring Rajinikanth, Nagarjuna, Upendra, Sathyaraj and Soubin Shahir. The film has collected over ₹200 crore in India within six days, despite stiff competition from Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR's War 2. Up next, Shruti will be seen in a cameo role in Mysskin's Train, starring Vijay Sethupathi. She also has Prashanth Neel's Salaar Part 2: Shouryanga Parvam with Prabhas and Prithviraj Sukumaran in the pipeline.
