Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge Celebrates 450 weeks
On Friday, 28th May 2004, Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, or DDLJ as it is fondly called, entered its 450th week of continuous play in theatres. Incidentally, this landmark coincides with Yash Raj Films' first production of 2004 - HUM TUM, which also released on the same day.
The love story of Raj and Simran continues to strike a chord with audiences, as they keep coming back to Maratha Mandir theatre (in Mumbai) to fall in love once again with one of the most evergreen stories told on the silver screen.
The movie, which cemented the super star status of the Shah Rukh Khan-Kajol pairing, opened to packed houses and rave reviews way back on 20th October 1995. Indians all over the world instantly fell in love with this simple yet eloquent story. It bridged the perceived divide between the NRI and Domestic cultures, and effortlessly wove Indian Tradition and Western Trends into a unique brand of "Indian-ness", which is often copied, but yet to be rivaled.
Director Aditya Chopra's directed his first film, DDLJ, at the young age of 23. Released in 1995, DDLJ became one of the largest grossers in Indian film history. In just the one matinee show at Maratha Mandir, where DDLJ continues its uninterrupted run, the film has earned a distributor share of more than 100 Lakh rupees to date.
While remaining popular with the masses, DDLJ also garnered critical acclaim from all quarters. The film swept that year's Filmfare Awards, picking up every single award of consequence, and propelled Aditya Chopra as one of the most influential young voices in Indian Cinema. *

In 2001, 'Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge' broke the continuous-exhibition record, established by the movie 'Sholay' at Minerva Theatre (5 years: 1975 - 1980). DDLJ remains the longest running film in the history of Indian cinema, as it passes one milestone after another, and is presently running in its 9th year.
Can you believe it!?!?!?! 9 YEARS!!!!!!!! It's just such a great movie!!!!!!!!
