Bollywood’s timeless gem Rangeela is making a grand comeback to Indian theatres on November 28, 2025, to celebrate 30 glorious years since its original release. Starring Aamir Khan, Urmila Matondkar, and Jackie Shroff, the film defined an era and continues to hold a special place in the hearts of movie lovers.
This re-release isn’t just a trip down memory lane — it’s a technological revival. Presented in a 4K HD restored version with immersive sound, the film promises enhanced clarity, vibrant colors, and breathtaking visuals. The restored edition aims to rekindle nostalgia among longtime fans while allowing new-generation audiences to experience the Rangeela magic on the big screen.
The 2025 Rangeela re-release is part of Ultra Media’s “Ultra Rewind” initiative, which focuses on reviving legendary Indian films in high-quality formats for theatrical viewing.
A Modern Revival of a Timeless Classic
Directed by Ram Gopal Varma, Rangeela remains one of Bollywood’s most defining films of the 1990s. Known for its fresh storytelling, captivating performances, and unforgettable soundtrack composed by A.R. Rahman, the movie beautifully captured the dreams and struggles of India’s urban youth.
Speaking about the film’s legacy, Ram Gopal Varma said,
“Rangeela embodied the spirit of aspiration — showing that ordinary people can dream big. Its success proved that rule-breaking cinema often becomes the most memorable.”
Ultra Rewind: Bringing Indian Cinema Classics Back to Life
Sushilkumar Agrawal, CEO of Ultra Media, shared his excitement about the re-release, saying,
“For many, Rangeela is a nostalgic journey back to Bollywood’s golden era. With Ultra Rewind, we’re giving this beloved film a modern revival in 4K, ensuring that its timeless beauty continues to inspire audiences for generations.”
This 4K restoration is the second major project under the Ultra Rewind banner. Earlier this year, Ultra Media honored Guru Dutt’s centenary year by screening several of his iconic classics like Pyaasa, Sahib Biwi Aur Ghulam, Kagaz Ke Phool, Aar Paar, Chaudhvin Ka Chand, Mr. & Mrs. 55, and Baaz — all in beautifully restored 4K versions.
Looking ahead, the Ultra Rewind initiative plans to re-release more classic Indian films in various languages, both in restored and original formats, across theatres in India.
Rangeela Re-Release Date and What to Expect
The Rangeela 4K re-release hits theatres across India on November 28, 2025 — exactly 30 years after its original premiere. With its dazzling visuals, soulful music, and emotional storytelling, this cinematic masterpiece promises to recreate the same magic that once captivated millions.
As fans eagerly await its return, Rangeela stands as a reminder of Bollywood’s golden age — a film that changed the way stories were told, songs were filmed, and dreams were portrayed on screen.
