ÂDDLJÂ completes continuous run of 700 weeks
In 2001, Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge (DDLJ)  a movie which needs no introduction, broke the continuous-exhibition record, established by the movie ÂSholay at Minerva Theatre (5 years: 1975  1980). And now as of March 2009, ÂDilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge has set yet another record by completing Â700 weeks of continuous play in MumbaiÂs Maratha Mandir theater. This makes ÂDDLJ one of the largest grossers in Indian film history and is still counting!
Directed by the immensely talented Aditya Chopra and starring the quintessential pair of Shahrukh Khan and Kajol, the movie opened to full houses and rave reviews all over the world way back on 20th October 1995. The film swept that yearÂs every major award and picked up every single accolade of consequence, not to mention the unconditional love of movie goers all over and still continues to top the list of Âthe best Indian romantic film of all times.
The forerunner of contemporary Bollywood, ÂDDLJÂ changed the course of a nation's cinema and became an unparalleled brand by itself. The movie beautifully blended western trends with the traditions of the country and effortlessly showcased the Indian culture at home and abroad as one. Audiences adored ÂDDLJÂs talented ensemble cast, soulful music, gorgeous locations and the iconic romantic moments.
An achievement, perhaps unmatched anywhere in the world, the magic of the ÂDDLJÂ keeps pulling audiences back year after year. This evergreen Yash Raj Film remains the longest running movie of Indian cinema and is presently running in its 14th year.
Clearly, people come and fall in love with ÂDilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge again and again...
