Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol’s love story, whose 24-year run was interrupted by the Coronavirus pandemic will be back at Mumbai’s Maratha Mandir theatre from November 13 with a daily matinee show. Manoj Desai, the theatre’s delighted executive director, exults, “The Diwali 2020 weekend will mark the re-release of Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge after its record run was halted by the lockdown. Now, we will continue with the tradition of matinee shows, uninterrupted.”
He is confident that DDLJ which has a loyal audience base, will continue to attract footfalls with ticket prices reduced to Rs 20 and 25 for stall and balcony respectively. “I have put up a new poster announcing a 25-year celebration of the film with a release date of Diwali 2020. A large chunk of the audience who come to watch the film are from outside Mumbai and the theatre, that’s located close to the Mumbai Central station makes it ideal for them,” he points out.
DDLJ had opened during the 1995 Diwali weekend. This year, on October 20, on the occasion of its silver jubilee, the makers announced that they would be re-releasing the film globally in countries like US, UK, Germany, UAE, Qatar, Canada, Switzerland, Australia, New Zealand, Spain and Fiji, among others.
