Maratha Mandir is a cinema hall located in Maratha Mandir Marg, Mumbai, India.[1] It opened on 16 October 1958 and has 1000 seats.[2] In the 1960s and 1970s, it was known for its lavish film launches, but the introduction of multiplexes diverted "class" viewers from establishment with the "masses" of the working class patronizing the theatre instead.[3] It is currently known for holding a record after screening the movie Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge for 1009 weeks since its release in 1995, on 19 February 2015. As of September 2019, the film has been running for a continuous 1230 weeks. The film still runs daily at 11:30 AM. It takes a 2-minute walk from the Mumbai Central railway station to reach the cinema hall, beside the Maratha Mandir's Babasaheb Gawde Institute of Technology.
