Quashing
reports
that
Dilwale
Duhania
Le
Jayenge
(DDLJ)
will
be
removed
from
Maratha
Mandir
in
December
after
running
for
19
years,
its
managing
director
Manoj
Desai
said
that
the
news
is
"false".
The
boy
meets
girl
story
narrated
by
Aditya
Chopra
into
the
magical
DDLJ
worked
wonders
at
the
box
office
despite
a
predictable
plot
line.
The
movie
has
been
playing
in
Maratha
Mandir
since
its
release
on
Oct
20,
1995.
In
2007,
it
broke
the
record
set
by
Sholay
by
a
full
seven
years.
And
the
movie
buffs
with
a
taste
for
romance
are
still
coming
in,
notwithstanding
its
many
re-runs
on
the
TV
channels,
online
viewing
facilities
as
well
as
many
DVDs
floating
around.
"We
are
not
planning
to
remove
DDLJ
show.
It
was
a
false
report.
In
fact,
this
December
DDLJ
will
be
in
its
1,000
week," Desai
told.
A
single
screen
theatre,
Maratha
Mandir
runs
other
movies
as
well,
but
the
matinee
show
has
been
booked
for
DDLJ.
"We
have
DDLJ
show
daily
at
11.30
a.m.
and
on
weekdays
there
is
40
to
50
percent
occupancy
and
on
the
weekend
it
runs
houseful.
"Myself
and
Aditya
Chopra
will
continue
to
show
the
film
in
Maratha
Mandir
as
long
as
we
want
to," he
added.
Though
the
story
was
insipid,
its
presentation
and
the
chemistry
between
the
lead
pair
-
Shahrukh
and
Kajol
-
struck
the
right
chord
with
the
audience
and
the
film's
music
was
like
a
icing
on
the
cake.
