    YRF brings back ‘DDLJ’ in Maratha Mandir on popular demand

    MUMBAI: The sudden announcement of Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge (DDLJ) being pulled out from Maratha Mandir at the end of its 1009 unprecedented weeks run, resulted in a spontaneous and overwhelming outcry from the cinema going audience, as well as dedicated fans of the movie, expressing their shock and disappointment.

     

    Ever since the news went out, the Maratha Mandir management was flooded with requests to reinstate the movie based on which they decided to immediately reconsider their decision. Post this, it was mutually decided to continue the screening in the same 11:30 am morning show – without breaking the uninterrupted run of the movie.

     

    DDLJ, which stars Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol in lead roles, is directed by Aditya Chopra.

    MUMBAI: After a historic 1000 week run, the iconic Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge (DDLJ) made its final curtain call at Mumbai’s Maratha Mandir on 19 February, 2015.

     

     Post the 1000 week celebrations in December last year, the theatre had requested YRF to prepone the DDLJ morning show to 9:15 am instead of 11:30 am as it was becoming difficult for the cinema to accommodate multiple new releases every week with just three regular shows.

     

     YRF obliged from 13 February, 2015. However, while the theatre management was happy to continue the film for as long as it continued to draw in the audiences, owing to logistical issues of their staff having to work inordinately long hours to accommodate an additional early morning show, it was mutually decided to end the films historic and record breaking run.

     

     After playing for 1009 uninterrupted weeks, the films unprecedented performance has come to an end at the Maratha Mandir. The film played out in the 9:15 am today for the last time at the theatre.

     

    The movie, which is directed by Aditya Chopra, stars Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol in the lead along with the late Amrish Puri, Farida Jalal, Anupam Kher, Satish Kaushik, Mandira Bedi and Parmeet Sethi amongst others.
