| After 1009 weeks on big screen, curtain finally falls for DDLJ |
After almost 20 years and over 1,000 uninterrupted weeks on the big screen, the curtain has finally fallen for Bollywood's definitive romantic-comedy Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge.
Mumbai's Maratha Mandir cinema showed DDLJ for the very last time this morning, almost 20 years after it began playing on October 19, 1995. An audience of 210 watched the final show.
A statement from Yash Raj Films, the makers of DDLJ, said that although "the theatre management was happy to continue the film for as long as it continued to draw in the audiences, owing to logistical issues...it was mutually decided to end the films historic & 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 show today for the last time at the theatre," it said.
DDLJ's 1009-week uninterrupted run on the theatre makes it the longest running film in the history of Indian cinema, a record previously held by 1975 blockbuster Sholay which ran in a Mumbai theatre for five years.
