DDLJ - Longest running movie in theatres completed 17 years

‘Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jaayenge’ is the longest running indian movie in the history of cinema and the film has already completed long 17 years.
       The epic love story movie, 'Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge' started its successful run on 20th Oct 1995 at the theater Maratha Mandir in Mumbai. The movie was produced by Yash Chopra under the banner of Yash Raj Films. It was directed by Mr Aditya Chopra and starred by King Khan Sharukh and Kajol. The music of DDLJ was composed by Jatin Lalit and lyrics were pennef by Anannd Baksshi. DDLJ was Aditya Chopra’s first film as director and it was for the first time SRK appeared on screen in a total romantic role.
   Upon its release, Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge became the biggest blockbuster of the year, also the movie won several awards including 10 Filmfare Awards and a National Award. DDLJ was also enlisted in "1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die", the only indian film included in the list along with the film Mother India. DDLJ is one among Robert Pattinson's and Kristen Stewart's favourite five movie list.
    DDLJ became the longest film running ever by beating Sholay(1975). Sholay ran five years completely at Minerva Theater which is very close to Maratha Mandir where DDLJ is continuing it's successful run. Mughal-e-Azam(1960) of Dilip Kumar ran for three years, but the above mentioned years and mass response towards DDLJ is incomparable.
NOTE :
- The film runs at house full shows in Mumbai’s Maratha Mandir theatre even at 17th year, and 874th week. Surprisingly, the tickets for the morning show at 11.30 am are almost always sold out at an earlier stage itslef!
- on the 17th Anniversary of the nation’s favourite film, King Khan’s loyal fans have made #DDLJ a trending topic on the social networking site.
- Aditya chopra planned to make DDLJ in english & he wanted to cast Tom cruise opposite an indian girl.He wanted to portray a love story between a london boy & indian girl.
