Tuesday, 7th Oct 2014,3:12 PM IST YRF’s 'Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge' starring Shahrukh Khan and Kajol is the longest running movie in the history of Indian Cinema. The film has been running in Maratha Mandir, a theatre in South Mumbai, since around two decades. The movie will be completing 1000 weeks in December and it is said that it will soon be taken off from the theatre permanently. Manoj Desai, the managing director of Maratha Mandir said,"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." They will be having a word about it with YRF’s Aditya Chopra as well. "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 stake holders," Desai added. However, the spokesperson of YRF has denied the reports. |
