Shahrukh
Khan-Kajol's
timesless
classic,
'Dilwale
Dulhania
Le
Jayenge'
clocked
23
years.
It's
been
more
than
two
decades,
but
the
film
still
continues
to
be
a
favourite
with
all
die-hard
romantic
fans!
The
film,
directed
by
Aditya
Chopra,
re-defined
romance
in
Indian
cinema,
making
it
the
biggest
hit
of
all
time
in
the
history
of
Bollywood.
Starring
Shah
Rukh
Khan
and
Kajol
as
the
beautiful,
innocent
and
loveable
couple
Raj
and
Simran,
this
Aditya
Chopra
film
has
gone
on
to
make
and
break
many
records.
Fondly
called
DDLJ
by
fans,
the
film
is
still
running
in
theatres
as
it
crossed
1200
weeks
without
an
uninterrupted
run
at
the
iconic
Maratha
Mandir
theatre
in
Mumbai.
On
this
iconic
occasion,
Shahrukh
said
on
Twitter,
"A
special
journey
that
began
23
years
ago,
goes
on
even
today.
Your
love
has
kept
Raj
&
Simran's
story
alive
on
the
big
screen
for
1200
weeks
non-stop.
Thank
u
for
falling
in
love
with
us
so
unconditionally
for
so
many
years!
#23YearsOfDDLJ
"
Kajol
added,
"1200
weeks
and
still
running!
Thank
you
all
for
all
the
love
that
you
have
been
showering
on
#DDLJ
for
so
many
years!
It
was,
it
is
and
will
always
be
an
incredibly
special
film
for
all
of
us.

Earlier,
in
an
interview
with
Indian
Express,
Kajol
had
said
that
DDLJ
cannot
be
recreated
or
remade.
She
was
quoted
as
saying,
"I
don't
think
so
(on
remake
of
the
film).
We
made
a
good
film
and
we
set
it
free.
After
that,
it
is
just
the
audience
who
has
taken
it
to
whatever
level.
If
today,
it
is
still
running
at
the
Maratha
Mandir,
it
is
not
us
who
needs
to
be
credited
for
that.
The
credit
goes
to
people
who
want
to
watch
it
and
who
want
their
next
generation
to
watch
it
too.
So,
I
don't
think
I
would
like
a
recreation
of
it."
Meanwhile,
Kajol's
hubby
Ajay
Devgn
is
yet
to
watch
this
evergreen
love
story.
Speaking
about
this,
Kajol
recently
had
said,
"This
is
one
film
of
mine
which
Ajay
has
not
seen
till
date.
I
have
asked
Ajay
the
same
question
many
a
times,
but
he
has
not
given
me
a
satisfactory
answer."
