Maratha Mandir cinema denies removal of ‘Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge’

Maratha Mandir cinema in India has denied reports that its longest running film ‘Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge’ will be pulled out of their schedule this year.

Manoj Desai, Managing Director at the cinema told IANS, “We are not planning to remove DDLJ show. It was a false report. In fact, this December DDLJ will be in its 1,000th week.”

There were talks earlier that Maratha Mandir, which has played the film to a packed screening almost everyday for over 950 weeks may well look to replace the film when it reaches the milestone.

Desai was quoted telling Mid-Day, ���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�۝.
