A Bollywood romance film about an Indian expatriate who wins his love by charming her conservative parents played for a record 500th week in a row Friday at a theater in Bombay.
“Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge” (The Braveheart Will Take the Bride), starring Indian heartthrob Shahrukh Khan and Kajol, has played nonstop at Maratha Mandir since its release in October 1995, industry officials said.
Shot in London and in India’s lush mustard fields, the movie has collected more than $46 million, said producer Yash Chopra, who spent about $1.6 million to make it.
