The Mohra re-release is set for 6 November 2026, when the 1994 action film returns to cinemas in a 4K remastered version. Trimurti Films confirmed the return through a teaser on its official YouTube channel. The date falls in Diwali week, one day after Ramayana Part 1 is scheduled to reach theatres on 5 November.
Directed by Rajiv Rai, Mohra originally released on 1 July 1994 and starred Akshay Kumar and Suniel Shetty and Raveena Tandon. Naseeruddin Shah had a central role, and the cast also included Paresh Rawal and Gulshan Grover and Raza Murad. The film was a hit in its time, and its songs remain widely known more than three decades later.
What the Mohra re-release will look like
The Mohra re-release will present the film in 4K, which means a restored picture on the big screen. Trimurti Films described the return in its teaser with the line “Celebrate 32 years of Mohra, in cinemas near you from 6th November 2026.” The teaser also recalled the twists and songs that made the film a talking point in 1994.
Distribution is being handled by Rimpy Films International, led by Deepinder Singh, according to Bollywood Hungama. That company has shared updates about the re-release on social media for several days. It has also pointed to plans for other Trimurti Films titles, though Mohra is the title with a confirmed date so far.
Mohra re-release plan is limited, not nationwide
The Mohra re-release plan is more limited than a normal wide release. Rajiv Rai told Bollywood Hungama that the film is returning in a very limited and small way on single screens around the country. He said the rollout will move across different centres over about six months, rather than opening everywhere on one day.
Rai also ruled out multiplex chains such as PVR for this rollout, according to the report. One confirmed venue is Heera Talkies in Agra in Uttar Pradesh, which will play Mohra in all four daily shows. That means that theatre will not screen Ramayana at the same time, even though the two films share the Diwali week window.
Mohra re-release and the Ramayana clash talk
Talk of a clash with Ramayana comes from the dates alone. Ramayana Part 1, starring Ranbir Kapoor and Sai Pallavi and Yash, is scheduled for 5 November 2026. Mohra follows on 6 November, so the two films will share the festive week in the calendar. In practice, the single screen rollout means the overlap will be limited to venues that choose Mohra over the larger new release.
The music is a large part of why Mohra still draws interest. Viju Shah composed the score, and songs such as “Tu Cheez Badi Hai Mast Mast” and “Tip Tip Barsa Paani” remain familiar to audiences who grew up with the film. A 4K screening gives those viewers a chance to hear the songs in a cinema again, with the picture restored for the big screen.
The Mohra re-release also raises a practical question for viewers, which is where they can actually see it. Since the plan is phased and limited to single screens, showtimes will differ by location, and no full city list has been shared in the reports so far. A viewer in a city without a participating single screen may have to wait for the rollout to reach that centre, since the film will not open in multiplex chains under the current plan. That Mohra re-release rollout will test whether a phased single screen plan can still find an audience in Diwali week.
For the theatres that do screen it, the Mohra re-release offers a different kind of draw from a new release. The audience already knows the story and the songs, so the appeal lies in seeing a familiar film restored for the cinema screen. Bollywood Mascot noted that the final experience will depend on restoration and projection standards at individual cinemas, which is a fair caution for a remaster that will play in varied single screen venues across the country.
Trimurti Films has also indicated plans to re-release Vidhaata from 1982 and Tridev from 1989 and Yudh from 1985 and Gupt from 1994, according to Bollywood Hungama. No dates have been confirmed for those titles in the reports so far, and Mohra remains the first title in that plan to reach a confirmed release date.
