DDLJ, which was running in Maratha Mandir theatre for 20 long years, had come to a halt due to COVID-19
As the theatres reopened in Maharashtra after almost eight months of being shut following the COVID-19 outbreak, the fans will be able to witness SRK-Kajol's iconic chemistry on the big screen again as DDLJ is all set to return to the cinema halls.
According to film critic and trade analyst Taran Adarsh, the Aditya Chopra directorial will start playing at Mumbai's Maratha Mandir theatre from Friday.
"#DDLJ BACK IN CINEMAS... As theatres reopen in #Maharashtra, #AdityaChopra's iconic film #DDLJ - starring #SRK and #Kajol - will start playing at #MarathaMandir [#Mumbai] *again* from TODAY," tweeted Adarsh.
"The longest-running and one of the most successful #Hindi films of all time," his tweet further read.
Here it is:
Mumbai's Maratha Mandir cinemas had run the iconic film for over 20 years after its release in 1995. While on an historic 1,274-week run at Mumbai’s Maratha Mandir theatre, it was forced to temporarily close in March due to COVID-19 outbreak in India. Now, with theatres reopening in Maharashtra, DDLJ is back again to spread love and warmth this festive season.
“As cinemas have been permitted to re-open in Mumbai, Yash Raj Films is thrilled to bring the longest running film in the history of Indian Cinema, Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, back to the silver screen at Maratha Mandir, Mumbai. The film has just completed 25 years and audiences can bank on the film to entertain themselves in these uncertain times by transporting them to the world of Raj & Simran,” reveals Rohan Malhotra, Vice President Distribution, Yash Raj Films.
DDLJ, which was made at a budget of 4 crore, emerged as a blockbuster in 1995 as it collected 89 crore in India and 13.50 crore in overseas markets. Thus, total collections stood at 102.50 crore worldwide in 1995! In today’s inflation adjusted value, DDLJ’s collection stands at a staggering 455 crore in India and 69 crore in overseas territories, taking the total worldwide collections to a phenomenal 524 crore!
The film will also be re-released across the world to mark DDLJ’s 25th year celebrations. YRF has planned the film to open in Germany, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, USA, UK, Canada, Mauritius, South Africa, Australia, New Zealand, Fiji, Norway, Sweden, Spain, Switzerland, Estonia and Finland to begin with.
'Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge' team last month celebrated 25 years of the release of the film. The love saga was Aditya Chopra's first film as a director.
