National, May 7, 2025: PVR INOX, India’s largest and most premium cinema chain, continues to celebrate the magic of timeless cinema with a fresh slate of re-releases this May. Carefully curated to tug at heartstrings and spark nostalgia, this month’s line-up features four cinematic gems returning to the big screen, a chance for movie lovers to relive unforgettable stories in their full glory.
Kicking off on May 9 is Piku, Shoojit Sircar’s delightful film starring Deepika Padukone, Amitabh Bachchan, and Irrfan Khan. Loved for its layered storytelling and quirky charm, the film beautifully captures the complexities of a father-daughter relationship—infusing warmth, wit, and wisdom in every frame. Sharing the release date is There Will Be Blood, Paul Thomas Anderson’s masterwork anchored by Daniel Day-Lewis in one of cinema’s most commanding performances. A searing exploration of ambition, greed, and legacy, the film returns to the big screen to captivate audiences with its stark beauty and haunting intensity.
On May 16, love takes centre stage with Hum Tum, a breezy romantic comedy that continues to resonate two decades after its release. With Saif Ali Khan and Rani Mukerji at their charming best, the film effortlessly captures the push and pull of modern relationships, wrapped in humour, heart, and a memorable soundtrack.
Wrapping up the month on May 23 is Dhadkan, the dramatic saga of love, sacrifice, and second chances. Starring Akshay Kumar, Shilpa Shetty, and Suniel Shetty, the film became a musical hit upon release.
“Our May re-release slate looks exciting, offering a diverse mix of films that appeal to a wide range of audiences. At PVR INOX, our goal is to bring back movies that have high repeat value—timeless classics that have shaped memories, defined generations, and continue to resonate with the fans and new viewers alike. Our strategy also focuses on reintroducing titles that may not have received their due upon initial release but have since gained recognition and popularity as audiences discovered them across various platforms. I really look forward to the audience reaction to our May curation,” said Niharika Bijli, Lead Strategist, PVR INOX Limited.
As streaming libraries expand by the day, some stories deserve their rightful return to the theatre, the way they were meant to be experienced. PVR INOX invites cinephiles across the country to rediscover these unforgettable films and make new memories with old favourites.
Whether it’s the heartfelt charm of Piku, the intensity of There Will Be Blood, the romantic journey of Hum Tum, or the emotional depth of Dhadkan — this May, step into a world of nostalgia and storytelling that never gets old.
