In 1999, a film with the same title was made by Veeru Devgan. Amitabh Bachchan, Ajay Devgn, Manisha Koirala, and Sushmita Sen.

While Bollywood has a long history of reusing similar titles, the industry seems to have discovered a name that may be more jinx than genius. Any guesses? That name is ‘Kasam.’

Despite featuring some of the industry’s most iconic faces, none of the films managed to find box office success.

All six films bearing the title ‘Kasam’ failed at the box office, except Sanam Teri Kasam.Surprised right?

Directed by Dev Anand’s brother, Chetan Anand, Hindustan Ki Kasam (1973), a war drama, featured Raaj Kumar, Vijay Anand and Priya Rajvansh.

In 1999, a film with the same title was made by Veeru Devgan. Amitabh Bachchan, Ajay Devgn, Manisha Koirala, and Sushmita Sen.

Tumhari Kasam featured Jeetendra and Moushumi Chatterjee in lead roles. It was directed by Ravi Chopra. Even Rajesh Roshan’s wonderful music composition couldn’t save it at the box office.

Kasam was a romantic drama directed by Umesh Mehra. Big names, including Anil Kapoor, Johnny Lever and Poonam Dhillon, were part of the starcast, but nothing worked in its favour.

When you have Sunny Deol, Naseeruddin Shah, Sonu Walia, Chunky Pandey, and Neelam Kothari in a film, it is bound to be a blockbuster. Well, that wasn’t the case here.

Headlined by Harshvardhan Rane and Mawra Hocane, Sanam Teri Kasam was made with a modest budget of Rs 18 crore. It managed to earn only Rs 9 crore upon release in 2016.

In a surprise twist, the film was re-released in 2025 and grossed more than Rs 53 crore, finally breaking the curse, at least partially.

Is the ‘Kasam’ curse finally broken, or is it just a one-time exception? We all await the next film with this title to know the truth.
