At 9:15 in the morning today, Bollywood’s evergreen romantic film ‘Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge’ was played for the very last time at Mumbai’s iconic Maratha Mandir. In 35 weeks, the film would have completed 20 long years at cinemas, but the Shahrukh Khan – Kajol starrer ends its glorious run of 1009 weeks today – after it began playing for the very first time on October 19 1995.
Directed by Aditya Chopra, DDLJ is one of the biggest blockbusters in the history of Indian Cinema.
DDLJ Last Week
Yash Raj Films sent out a statement to the media:
After a historic 1000 week run, Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge made its final curtain call at the iconic Maratha Mandir today.
Post the 1000 week celebrations last December, the theatre had requested YRF to prepone the DDLJ morning show to 9:15 AM instead of 11:30 AM as it was becoming difficult for the cinema to accommodate multiple new releases every week with just 3 regular shows.
Of course YRF obliged from 13th Feb 2015. However, while the theatre management was happy to continue the film for as long as it continued to draw in the audiences, owing to logistical issues of their staff having to work inordinately long hours to accommodate an additional early morning show, it was mutually decided to end the films historic & record breaking run.
After playing for 1009 uninterrupted weeks, the films unprecedented performance has come to an end at the Maratha Mandir. The film played out in the 9:15 AM show today for the last time at the theatre.
However, this endearing and endless romance will continue to live in our hearts forever…
All good things come to an end
Guys…Do you agree Maine Pyar Kiya is the best romantic movie?
Thank you SHAH RUKH KHAN for the bestest Film DDLJ.

DDLJ ruled a historic 1009 weeks & it will rule till the end of this world, From every part of the world if he a Rich man like Obama or Poor man he has loved SRK’s DDLJ.. there are many hits but they way King Khan’s DDLJ got , tasted success (still getting) no movie did… Bollywood is proud of DDLJ, Every Indian is proud of DDLJ it has changed the name of Bollywood Globally, they way DDLJ brought respect to Bollywood/India no movie did, they way DDLJ promoted, Shown Indian Culture, good face of India and Indians non movie did till now…
DDLJ is the biggest ever hit of Indian Cinema After Sholay & DDLJ is the most loved, famous bollywood movie and the best ever movie.. Only an insane & fictitious person can compare a other movies with the all time best movie in Indian history DDLJ, Evergreen DDLJ.. DDLJ is the most popular movies WorldWide till now which has been proved many times even if PM Obama knows SRK’s DDLJ Dialogue than you can guess the popularity of DDLJ..
More than 78th Bollywood movies has tried to Copy DDLJ but non movie even create 1% magic of DDLJ.. Humpty Sharma ki Dulhaniya is the 78th attempt of Bollywood to make DDLJ but all 78th movies failed to create the Magic DDLJ created…

In 1994 HAHK ran for less than 40 weeks and lifetime= 69.75 crore
In 1995 DDLJ ran for 1009 weeks and lifetime= 61 crore
DDLJ is world’s best film ever.. India’s most famous, loved movie ever..
Very happy that DDLJ stopped at Maratha Mandir. It is time now for Kick and other Salman Khan films to run for 2000 weeks in cinemas. Salman Khan is true evergreen star of Bollywood.
Funny fact: In 1995 SRK starred in 7 movies,
out of which 2 became blockbusters (DDLJ and Karan Arjun)
and 5 became flops (Guddu, Zamana Deewana, Oh Darling Yeh Hai India, Ram Jaane and Trimurthi)
Maine Pyaar Kiya is the best romantic movie of bollywood. DDLJ is overrated.
Top 3 biggest hits of Bollywood ever..
1 – #Sholay – 6.4 Cr.. (including Minerva Theatre)
2 – #DDLJ – 5.16 Cr.. (including Maratha Mandir)
3 – #MEA – 5.5 Cr.. (including Maratha Mandir)
Thank you SRK for DDLJ…
JIS – get some information for saying any shit… DDLJ footfalls – 5.16 including MM while HAHK Footfalls is just 4.68cr.. DDLj is 2nd biggest ever hit after sholay idiot, you fool… as well as HAHK was a Bajpuri movie on the other side SRK’s DDLJ is Most loved, famous movie ever… Try to clean your face, eyes before comparing any shit movie HAHK (which salman’s fans don’t know about it, didn’t like it) with Biggest hit, Most loved, most romantic, famous world-wide movie DDLJ…
@iamkn
DDLJ has not crossed HAHK lifetime LOL.
Biggest hits of bollywood ever:
1.Sholay

3.Mughal e Azam
every bollywood lover should be proud of DDLj, i’ve not seen a single person in my entire life who does not love Shahrukh’s DDLJ. simply it is the best film. if any one compare any movie with DDLj that will be insult for DDLJ as well as for Bollywood. :)
DDLJ was running in maratha mandir at the time Salman Khan was running away from footpath after killing poor people.
DDLJ – India Gross ( 133,15,00,000, RECORD ), & Overseas Gross ( 19,31,00,000)
HAHK – India Gross ( 124,74,00,000 ), & Overseas Gross ( 10,71,00,000)…. look at the difference both in Overseas and India DDLJ is away bigger hit than HAHK still these Mullu, Remaku, Bhai Roxx Fans Are comparing that shit HAHK Movie with Most loved movie DDLJ as well as DDLj was all about SRK while HAHK was Madhuri’s movie, it was not even salman’s movie as he was not on the lead even Maduri’s name had been mention before Salman in every where.. salman has justcameo in it he as such a short role like Ranbir had in PK.. if HAHK is Salman’s movie than PK is Ranbir’s move… Stop comparing that Bajpuri movie HAHK with Pride of India/Bollywood DDLJ….
Funny how some salman/aamir fans are getting so butthurt. The longest running and most popular bollywood film belongs to SRK.

HAHK would be bigger HIT than DDLJ at BO, but 75% of today’s generation dont even know about that film. But they Love DDLJ Evergreen DDLJ
it’s sad though I’m too happy.It made history and becomes the most popular movie of Indian/Hindi cinema.
DDLJ is a land mark earned respect,glory.
while hahk is a family drama got hit due to family member’ act higher than statue sallu and one time watch movie earned higher but couldn’t run longer and poorly beaten by DDLJ’S COLLECTION.how could a poor movie can withstand against EVERGREEN DDLJ.

These 200cr or 300cr will come and go..but the record of 20yrs long run of DDLJ will be unbeatable.. Evergreen DDLJ..Thankyou DDLJ..
