03:15India: 'You can't find a story like this' - Iconic love movie stays on billboards after 27 years
The Indian movie 'Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge' entered week number 1,360 on billboards, as it remains in theatres after 27 years.
On Tuesday, fans of the classic film came to the Maratha Mandir Cinema in Mumbai to watch it one more time.
"It's hard to find stories like this in movies nowadays. You can't find a story like this", said Sanjai Mohammed Ansari, a film enthusiast. Another fan, Dheeraj Gupta, stated that he came to watch the movie 'every three or four months'.
The theatre manager, Manoj Pande, said they decided to remove the film from the program, but they encountered numerous complaints from the spectators. "Seeing that the public visited our theatre in large numbers and demanded that an iconic film be made and run in an iconic theatre and made a request to continue screening the film, so to respect the public's sentiments, we reversed our decision and continued the film screening even today," he explained.
Aditya Chopra's 'Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge' (1995), which translates as 'The Big-Hearted Will Take the Bride,' tells the story of a couple who fall in love during a vacation in Europe.
