Dilwale... crosses 700-week mark

SRK rules with Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge. Yes! The SRK-Kajol starrer has crossed the 700-week mark at the box office and is creating a record. The movie, which broke the record of super-duper hit Sholay in 2007 to become the longest-running film, is still running at Mumbai's Maratha Mandir theatre. Directed by Aditya Chopra with Shahrukh Khan and Kajol in the main roles, the movie is one of the first few films to display the lives of NRIs. With all the elements of a typical Hindi film, Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge is considered one of the greatest romantic dramas of Bollywood. Released fourteen years ago, the movie is still an evergreen favourite with Indian audiences.

Filmed in London and Punjab, the flick won 10 Filmfare Awards, including the Best Actor and Best Actress awards for SRK and Kajol. In fact, the movie established SRK-Kajol as one of the best and most successful Bollywood pairs on screen.
