The 1994 action thriller ‘Mohra’ is coming back to cinemas after 32 years. Directed by Rajiv Rai, the film will be re-released in a 4K remastered version on November 6, 2026.

It stars Akshay Kumar, Suniel Shetty and Raveena Tandon. The film first came out on July 1, 1994, and became one of the most memorable action entertainers of its time.

‘Mohra’ was produced by Gulshan Rai under Trimurti Films. It follows Vishal Agnihotri, played by Suniel Shetty, a prisoner who wants justice for his wife’s murder. Journalist Roma Singh, played by Raveena Tandon, helps him get released.

However, Vishal soon ends up working for the powerful Jindal, played by Naseeruddin Shah, who uses him to go after criminals. As Inspector Amar Saxena, played by Akshay Kumar, looks into the killings, a bigger conspiracy slowly comes to light.

Revenge, loyalty and betrayal sit at the heart of the story. The film also featured Paresh Rawal, Gulshan Grover, Raza Murad, Sadashiv Amrapurkar, Poonam Jhawer and Kulbhushan Kharbanda.

Priya Tendulkar, Avtar Gill, Kunika Sadanand, Tej Sapru and Vishwajeet Pradhan played supporting roles. Music was a big part of the film’s success. Composed by Viju Shah, the soundtrack had chartbusters such as ‘Tu Cheez Badi Hai Mast Mast’, sung by Udit Narayan and Kavita Krishnamurthy, and ‘Tip Tip Barsa Paani’, sung by Alka Yagnik and Udit Narayan.

Other popular songs included ‘Na Kajare Ki Dhar’, ‘Subah Se Lekar’, ‘Dil Har Koi’ and ‘Kaash Kahin Aisa Hota’. The lyrics were written by Anand Bakshi, Indeevar and Sameer.

The film became one of the biggest Hindi releases of 1994. It went on to be the second-highest-grossing Indian film of that year, behind ‘Hum Aapke Hain Koun..!’. Its soundtrack reportedly sold more than eight million units.

Trimurti Films Pvt. Ltd. announced the re-release. It will reach theatres just a day after ‘Ramayana’, starring Ranbir Kapoor, Sai Pallavi and Yash, which arrives on November 5.

The makers shared the teaser of the re-release on its official YouTube channel. The description read, “In a deadly game of power and betrayal, everyone could be a pawn.
