Aditya Chopra's Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge completes 1200 week-run; Shah Rukh Khan, Kajol thank fans

Yash Raj Films’ eternal classic _Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge_ , directed by Aditya Chopra, re-defined romance in Indian cinema, making it the biggest hit of all time in the history of Bollywood. Often referred to as DDLJ by fans, the film, which completed 23 years in October since its release, is still running in theatres. It has now crossed 1200 weeks without an uninterrupted run at the iconic Maratha Mandir theatre in Mumbai.
