Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge made history with a 1,274-week run at Mumbai’s Maratha Mandir theatre. It had to be pulled down when the theatre was forced to temporarily close in March 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The film also starred late Amrish Puri, Anupam Kher, Himani Shivpuri, Parmeet Sethi, Pooja Ruparel, Farida Jalal and Satish Shah among others.
