The curated film line-up includes:Chennai Express – blending Shah Rukh’s comedic flair with Rohit Shetty’s high-octane action, Devdas – Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s epic tale of heartbreak and longing, Dil Se – a gripping story of love, obsession, and political turmoil, Kabhi Haan Kabhi Na – the endearing journey of a lovable underdog in love, Main Hoon Na – a patriotic action-drama filled with friendship and flair, Om Shanti Om – a reincarnation saga full of nostalgia and 70s-style grandeur, Jawan – SRK’s latest blockbuster that reaffirms his reign over hearts and the box office

In a statement, Shah Rukh Khan reflected on the festival “Cinema has always been my home, and watching these films return to the big screen feels like a heartwarming reunion. These movies belong as much to the audience as they do to me. I hope people relive the joy, the music, and the shared magic of these cinematic journeys.” Niharika Bijli, Lead Strategist at PVR INOX Ltd, echoed the excitement:
