According to the website, Sanam Teri Kasam collected ₹3-3.25 crore on Monday, which is more than the combined Monday total of Sky Force ( ₹0.45 crore), Deva ( ₹0.50 crore), Badass Ravikumar ( ₹0.60 crore), and Loveyapa ( ₹0.60 crore). This has pushed the film's total collection to ₹18.50 crore, more than double its original lifetime domestic earnings. However, according to the makers, the film has collected ₹22.09 crore at the box office over the weekend.

The film’s opening weekend collection stands at approximately ₹15.50 crore net, making it the biggest weekend for a Bollywood re-release, according to Sacnilk. The re-release has posed tough competition to the new releases, Badass Ravikumar ( ₹6.75 crore) and Loveyapa ( ₹5.15 crore), earning more than their combined total. The film might continue to benefit from Valentine's week.

When asked if he expected the film to perform well upon re-release, Harshvardhan Rane told Free Press Journal, "It is a very soothing feeling. This makes you believe in what Shah Rukh Khan sir said (in Om Shanti Om), ‘Agar sab thik na ho toh woh the end nahi hai, picture abhi baaki hai mere dost.’ I could resonate with that dialogue after nine years of trying, failing, and still trying again. So, it is like a soothing ointment and justifies the dialogue that Farah ma’am had in the film."
