DDLJ @ Maratha Mandir, Mumbai

Watching movie is always fun. But sometime its special too.Its not everyday that you get to see a movie thats been running successfully for the last 14 years. Yes, you've read it right, 14 years.

Yash Raj Film's blockbuster movie Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge(DDLJ in short) has been running successfully at Maratha Mandir at Mumbai Central for the last 14 years. The recent mumbai trip gave me an opportunity to watch it (for the upteenth time) at Maratha Mandir.

There is only one show at 11.15am and the occupancy is above 80%. A huge chunk of unemployed (kasub-less in konkani) youth form a huge part of the audience. The ticket prices are also down to earth, with balcony being the costliest at Rs 22 (see pic)

Don't need to say anything about the movie. Apart from a great storyline, cast, superhit and evergreen songs, DDLJ was the first movie which opened up the most lucrative overseas market for Indian movies.
