Maratha Mandir has been running
'Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge' (DDLJ),
billed as the Bible of Bollywood
romance, since its release in 1995 for
almost two decades now
The morning show at 11.30am still
runs to packed houses everyday.
However, this December, the theatre's
managing director, Manoj Desai, is
contemplating drawing the curtains on
the film permanently.
Desai says, "We may not show this film
after December once it completes 1000
weeks. Over the years, we got good
response as the cinema hall is close to
the Mumbai Central railway station
and state transport bus stand.
Recently, the collection has taken a
nosedive and, therefore, we are
thinking of discontinuing the show."
The theatre authorities are planning to
talk to director-producer of DDLJ,
Aditya Chopra. "The film is regularly
aired on television and it has been
nearly 20 years since it was released.
So, the entire generation has watched
it and we have also had the audience,
which has seen it more than 100 times.
But we feel that this particular screen
can be used for other shows now. The
final decision will be taken once we
have the consent of all stakeholders,"
he adds.
However, the spokesperson of Yash Raj
Films denied such a move.
