David Dhawan’s Biwi No. 1 starring Salman Khan to re-release in theatres on this date

Celebrating a legacy of boundless laughs and entertainment, David Dhawan’s biggest entertainer Biwi No. 1 is making its grand comeback to the big screen on November 29. The 1999 blockbuster is hailed as the pinnacle of Dhawan’s comedy-driven storytelling and has found its place as one of Bollywood’s most iconic films—for good reason.

Biwi No. 1 broke boundaries with its fresh and bold take on relationships, presenting a story that resonated with audiences across generations. Exploring themes of love, loyalty, fidelity, and family, it struck a perfect balance between tradition and modernity, a feat rarely achieved in comedy movies of that era.

Each character, from the endearing Pooja (Karisma Kapoor) to the flamboyant Rupali (Sushmita Sen) and the affable Prem (Salman Khan), remains etched in the minds of audiences. The film's larger-than-life personas continue to inspire and entertain. Khan’s stylish charm and Sen’s trendsetting outfits redefined fashion in the late '90s. Even today, their looks serve as a fresh style reference, proving that true fashion knows no expiry date.

With songs like ''Chunari Chunari'' and ''Ishq Sona Hai'', the soundtrack of Biwi No. 1 dominatespop culture, bringing energy to dance floors and hearts alike. Composed by Anu Malik, the music continues to enjoy unparalleled popularity.

Dhawan's film was able to mix humor, drama, and emotions perfectly, capturing the essence of Indian family dynamics while keeping audiences in splits. It’s truly a testament to David Dhawan’s genius for creating films that are both light-hearted and profound in the same breath.

Speaking about the re-release, David Dhawan reflected on the film's impact, saying, “Audiences still talk about the film’s humour and the joy it brought to families. Comedy films are best enjoyed when watched in a group and on the big screen. Re-releasing Biwi No. 1 will give fans a chance to celebrate those memories and introduce new viewers.”

Now, more than two decades later, this evergreen entertainer is ready to recreate its magic on the big screen. Makers believe it is a film that will capture hearts even today, serving a dose of nostalgia. For those who lived through its golden run and for a new generation waiting to experience its charm, Biwi No. 1 promises to be as delightful as ever.

Vashu Bhagnani & Pooja Entertainment’s Biwi No. 1 is being re-released on November 29 in cinemas by PVR Inox Pictures and hit music is available on Tips Music.
